The test scenario will be different from last year.? It will not be a weather event.? The incident will occur without warning so there will be no details until the Saturday of the test.? The test objectives are as follows:

?

·??????? Evaluate capabilities to respond to an instantaneous (no warning or preparation) event.

·??????? Conduct regional resource nets on local repeaters gathering information on participants able to deploy.? Aggregate information for each region and report to the SEC.

·??????? Determine which local EOCs can be staffed with amateur radio operators and exercise their communications capabilities.

·??????? Evaluate VHF/UHF communications on numerous local repeaters.? Evaluate HF communications statewide using 80 meters.

I've sent the DECs and ECs some detail about their assignments,

For you, our CT ARES members, there are three things to do in the run-up to the SET.

First, watch for further messages via this system as well as the Alert group.? I will be sending out a few more messages in the next two weeks.? Additional messages will be coming out on the 26th before 0900 hours.

?

Second, be ready to operate on your local ARES repeaters.? If you have HF capabilities we we also be testing that mode.

?

Third, be on the KB1AEV linked repeater system at 0900 hours on the 26th.? That will be our first general net.? Further instruction will be delivered during that net.

?

If there is not an EC assigned in your town and you have a relationship with your local EMD, most likely because you are involved with CERT Emcomm, please send me an email.? I'd like to talk about activating your EOC.

I hope you can all participate!? Looking forward to hearing you on the air!
