[SARES] [Fwd: [Scc-ec] Drill Info]

    Below is the FIRST of FOUR messages, sent by Larry Carr, about the 
county wide drill this coming Saturday, 10/13 between 2 & 4 p. m.  As a 
group SARES will not be participating, BUT you as an individual may 
participate.  This first message provides the frequencies for the 
Message & Command Nets.  If you participate you should be using the 
MESSAGE net, the Command net is used by county / city ARES-RACES command 
staff to deal with any admin problems during the drill.

    The second message will provide information for how packet should be 
used during the drill, and includes the 2 meter & 220 packet frequencies.

    The third message gives some suggested messages, to give you ideas - 
you can be creative with messages.

    The fourth message has a copy of the new Santa Clara County 
ARES-RACES message form, which has been adopted as the standard form to 
be used by ARES-RACES in transmissions of any verbal messages in the county.

    If you participate in this drill, HAVE FUN, gain experience, be 
creative AND let me know you participated.

Thx

Hi

A reminder that the October 2007 Santa Clara County-wide ARES/RACES drill
will occur on Saturday, October 13, from 1400-1600. The scenario for this
drill will be a major earthquake, one that has disabled both telephone AND
internet connections in our county. We will focus on two primary tasks
during this drill - message handling using a new message form developed by
members of our Santa Clara County ARES/RACES group, and a new protocol for
handling packet messages.

I will be sending you a copy of the new Message Form, which has been 
adopted by
the Santa Clara County Office of Emergency Services as their new standard
for EOC message traffic. Please use this during the drill, so that all of
you can become familiar with the procedures that we will be using at the
county EOC.

I will also send a file describing the packet protocol that I want to
use during the drill next Saturday. Please review this file, and be 
ready to
follow the procedures next Saturday.

I will also send you a file giving you sample message text to use during
the drill. Please consider using these examples, and sending me additional
suggestions for messages.

We will be operating the following nets:

Message Net: 147.36(+) PL 110.9 W6TI/R

Command Net: 442.5(+) PL 100.0 WB6ZVW/R

Packet Net: 144.910, 223.660 simplex
EOC net: Government Radio Repeater and simplex

Larry
