Wish I could have gotten this radio to work, and inside antenna moved in front of the window. I just can't do it myself right now, due to disability.

Good afternoon ETECS members!

A? digital exercise hosted by South Texas ARES? is scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2020 from 8 am CDST to 1030 am CDST.

The focus of this drill is on using Pactor and VARA HF Peer to Peer for passing an ICS-213 with a reply.? There will also be a CW portion.

I have included all the attachments received with the original email, including ICS-205 Communications Plans, sample ICS-213 Message Forms plus additional exercise scenario/instructions.

Please note that much of this exercise will be attempted using 60 meters so you will need an antenna system that works on the 60m band plus Pactor and VARA capabilities.??
