Re: [SARES] Phone Tree

SARES via Andreas is working on a system where a text message will be 
sent to you e-mail address, text phone, or text pager.  The access to 
activating this alerting system will naturally be controlled, to keep 
from being spamed.  The message format will be something like:

"SARES Activation - 10/32/2007 @ xx:xx hours - Monitor K6GL/R"

When the system is ready we will request that if you want to be alerted 
in this manner you should provide the contact information.

Another method we can use in the meantime is the K6GL/R.  If we have a 
activation request I will come up on the repeater with a 3 second tone 
(the "0" button on radio number pad) and announce "This is a SARES 
Activation, please standby for roll-call & information"....
