We’ve experienced several solar flares over the past 56 hours, and there continues to be a 55% of at least a C-Class flare today.? Flares are short-lived events but they can significantly reduce HF propagation during the daytime with lower frequencies more affected than higher ones.? Keep this in mind, especially during the 60 meter portion of the net.? Hopefully we’ll get a break in the solar activity today.? ?

Today is the first Sunday of the month, so we’re due for our regional voice net at 2000Z.? That’s 3:00 PM CDT, 4:00 PM EDT.? Dave, W9PFD from Illinois will be the NCS today.

Following the recommendation of the regional committee, effective with today’s net, the 40-Meter portion of the net will be conducted on 7280 KHz and down (instead of 7180 KHz and up) due to crowded conditions in the 7175-7230 range of the band. There are no guarantees that this will resolve the problem, of course, but we’re going to give it a try.

Hello All,

You have received this email because you are an amateur radio operator and a member of the FEMA Region 5 AUXCOMM group.

?

The new FEMA 5 AUXCOMM Digital Net will start next month (March).? You are invited to, and I hope you will, take part.? This net will take place on the second and fourth Sundays of the month.?

?

The purpose of this net is to give you all a chance to practice with Winlink.? Each net will include a short exercise.

?

Here's how the net will work:

1.? A few days before the net, I'll send an email with the details of the 'assignment' for the net.

2.? The net will open at 0700 local time and close at 1900 local time.? You can send your message at any time during the net.

3.? Using Winlink, send your net message to W9REL.Radio@....

4. That's it!? You're done until the next net date.

?

Using Winlink:

1.? Do you have a Winlink Account?

??? a. Yes?? Great.

??? b.? No??

??????? 1.? You will need a computer with the 32 bit or 64 bit Microsoft Windows operating system, Windows Vista or newer.

??????? 2.? In your web browser, go to .

????????? ? a.? Under the Compare Client Programs heading, go to the last column in the first row and click WinLink Express.

???????????? b.? Under the Download heading, click WinLink Express (current production version).

???????? ? ? c.? Install WinLink Express and start the program

???????????????? 1.? The Winlink Express Properties window should open automatically.? If it doesn't, click Settings, then click Winlink Express Setup.? On the left side of the Winlink Express Properties window:

???????????????? 2.? Enter your callsign

???????????????? 3.? Create a password

???????????????? 4.? Enter a Password Recovery Email address.

???????????????? 5.? Click the Request password be sent to recovery email box.? Save the email, especally if, like me, you are possessed of a short memory for passwords.

???????????????? 6.? Further down the left side, enter your grid square.

???????????????? 7.? In the Service Codes box, enter EMCOMM next to PUBLIC.

???????????????? 8.? On the right side of the window, you can enter your contact if you wish but you don't have to.

???????????????? 9.? Finally, click the Update box.

That's it.? YOU'RE DONE!? You can now begin using Winlink.

?

Keep warm, safe and healthy and always keep good situational awareness

2021 dates announced for DOD COMEX/Interoperability drills on 60 meters

To all radio amateurs?

SB SPCL ARL ARLX002
ARLX002 MARS Announces Schedule of Dates for 60-Meter Interoperability?

The Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) has announced dates in 2021 during which MARS members will operate on 60 meters for interoperability with the amateur radio community. Some dates coincide with quarterly Department of Defense Communications Exercises (COMEX).?

All exercises will begin on channel 1 as the initial calling channel and move to other 60-meter working channels as may be appropriate.?

"In addition to voice calls, I want to introduce passing ICS 213 messages in both voice and digital modes to enhance the overall interop experience," said US Army MARS Chief Paul English, WD8DBY.?

English continues, "Our exercises will yield the frequencies to other scheduled exercises or mission activations, which may be called by other agencies for interop support (e.g., hurricane, wildfire, etc). We regularly instruct MARS members to work cooperatively with the amateur radio community during the use of the 60-meter interop channels. We will continue to track our 60-meter usage and activities."?

English said he plans to provide a quarterly usage report of 60-meter interoperability activities.?

The interoperability schedule is as follows:?

February 23 - 27
Exercise: DOD COMEX 21-1
Location: CONUS?

March 1 - 7?
Exercise: Interop Outreach?
Location CONUS?

April 3 - 10
