Communications Drill Forms and Last Minute Info


 

This Saturday is our ARES Communication Drill.? Attached should be all the forms that you need.? Please print them down so you can check the boxes when communications are made and for ease of use to add notes.

?

As of right now we only have one operator at the Farm Center and no operator at Ridgecrest Baptist Church.? We would like 2 operators at each location.? I have attached the Sign-Up Sheet for identification help and in hopes some others may step up and help fill out the Drill.

?

I have used names in some locations and others left open in case you want to switch with each other according to your radio abilities or preference.? Please discuss with whoever is on your location so you are clear as to who answers which calls.

?

When we move to Simplex, IF you do not hear someone during a particular contact, please wait until whoever is calling may say, ¡°I do not hear anything from ¡­¡­.. Could someone verify that they can hear them transmitting?¡±? If that happens, then please transmit your name and location and that you can hear them.? The operator that cannot hear them, will then move to the next location and continue.

?

This drill is to find out where there may be gaps or if there may be equipment issues, etc.? Please make notes so that when we get together, we can figure out what may have worked better or maybe you might have a better idea of repositioning a location.?

?

If you have any questions or comments or corrections, please let me know before tomorrow night so I can address it.

?

Thank each of you so much for your participation!

Good afternoon, Barbara.

I am currently scheduled to be at First Baptist parking lot with Rick Major.? Do you need me to move to any of the un-manned locations?? Also, what time do we need to be on station?

Thanks,
