Arizona Red Cross Comms Drill - 5/30/2020

The Arizona Red Cross will hold a radio communications exercise on May 30, 7 am to 11 am. All area hams are invited to participate. Due to the COVID-19 environment, we will not be deploying anyone, but asking operators to work at home or from their vehicle as simulated shelter sites.

There will be 9 different communications challenges for operators of differing ability levels, equipment, and licenses. We hope to learn how various radio communications methods we might use in a real emergency will work from differing locations. We also want to see the availability of operators with the skills and equipment to use those methods.

We would like to simulate an environment of a power outage and would encourage all stations to operate without power from the grid. This can be a mobile radio in a vehicle, or a base station on battery, generator, or other unplugged source. But even if operators can’t participate in an unplugged mode, they can still participate and just report they are working “on-grid.”

Everything you need to know is posted on the website. Just look for the link to the May 30 Arizona Red Cross Comms Exercise at the bottom of the menu. Encourage as many hams as you can to participate!

Thanks! --Larry AA0LB

Hi Folks,

Don't have a radio or scanner but you would like to listen to your ham community?

(By the way, "listening in" is an excellent way to learn how to converse on the radio while non-hams are studying for their license exam.)

No worries! You can listen to some of the most active repeaters in the Valley and beyond by navigating to one of these links with your browser. If you like what you hear, bookmark it!

You can also download scanner apps to your Android or iOS device.

W7ARA White Tanks Repeater:?

?

W7ARA Phoenix Metrolink System:

?

Ocotillo / STV Repeater:?

W0NWA Pinnacle Peak:

?

Eastern Arizona ARS Repeater System EAARS:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you want to install a very good radio scanner app on your smartphone or tablet, Radio Scanner by Gordon Edwards is very good (and free!):

For Android:

For iOS:

As always, I welcome feedback.

Joe, N2QOJ
