Good afternoon. We are confident everyone has reviewed the event data and is ready to go. We have gotten all the information we believe we will get. At this point, you should have had all your questions asked and we will have answered. At this point, we may have someone that has a last minute reason to drop out, or someone that may have had plans change and are now available. Be sure to check the assignment sheet regularly. When changes need to be made, they update within a minute or two on the site (be sure to refresh your browser). There are some volunteers we need to make sure they have done the following: - Joined this group (no individual emails to be sent) - Changed their display name on this site to include Name and Callsign. We cannot identify most of you by your email address. We don’t want spammers, and others would like to know who is messaging the group. - Signed the waiver - Actually signed up. We have individuals that assumed getting on Groups.io signed them up. ——— With the heavy rain today, prepare for muddy rest stops, road debris, soft road shoulders. Mosquitos… For those that are on the route, we require you to have your vehicle marked with your tactical assignment. This helps to be identified by MS staff and volunteers, as well as served agencies (watch your traffic habits). You should also have an APRS tracker. This information should also be displayed. Locations: - Front windshield. Upper corner of passenger side. - Rear windshield. Lower driver’s side. - Rear side windows each side. Static windows preferred. Attached are excellent chalk markers to do so. They are water resistant. Yet wipe off with a paper towel.

Good morning. Will notice embedded in the Com Plan a section that has an incident report (2 pages). You will also find as you read the information there and in the Emergency Response Plan, there is a protocol to enter the incident information into a portal called “Clear Sight”. We as communicators do not have access to that portal. However, an incident necessitates us to complete the “Incident Report” form as completely as possible. Gathering forensic data to best describe what happened, as well as possibly the cause. I’ve attached screenshots of that form. The native file resides in the documents section under Tactical Files and also The public service standing folder. Reminder: No medical or personal information on the net. Bib numbers in place of names. The completed form(s) should be collected by either Com 1, Com 2, SAG 1, or Net Control and delivered to Alex from the MS Society located at Net Control.

Good morning. Possibly an active week of weather here in NTX with heavy rains as one of the hazards, this will likely leave many of the rest stops muddy. Looking ahead to the weekend, rain is possible both days. The ride is rain or shine. Attached is an excerpt from the emergency response plan found in the files section under Tactical Files.

Good afternoon, is there a proposed timetable for when the frequencies that will be used will be available? just wanting to get ahead of things and get my radio programmed accordingly :-) Thanks Scott

KB5SQG (Robert Fitzpatrick) and I are at RS1 on Day 2 (other) Robert, what gear do you have? I went to D2-RS1 earlier today, and wasn't able to hit either the 147.020 or 147.240 repeaters. Gear was a 5W HT driving a 1/8 wave mag mount, hand held Yagi beam, and a J-Pole antenna on a 10' pole (didn't have a mount to raise the Yagi). I looked at elevation profile in Google Earth and Chalk Mountain (where I was told 147.020 is) is 17.6 miles away. Chalk mountain is considerably higher than RS1, but RS1 does appear to be in a local hole and there is a 127' hill about halfway between RS1 and Chalk Mountain (488' above RS1) Maybe 5W just isn't enough to make it? Maybe a taller antenna is needed? Robert Eden N5GWY
