Current and Planned Objectives:
(add to Incident Objective as downloaded from above)
• Everyone stay SAFE.
• Everyone have a GOOD TIME
• Improve our RADIO ASSETS
• Improve our Phone and Digital performances (WLE FM P2P and RMS Gateway use)
• Optional: Gain more skill and resilience in our backup electrical power, backup antennas.
• Improve our cohesiveness as a group
* Trial documenting operator competencies by use of new forms
We will be setting up outside to use our COMPLETE and software updated portable radio stations to trade email from station to station. So, charge your batterieS (main and spare) and check your station equipment list.
The park has room to park vehicles and limited level grassy field. Temp is expected to be in the 60s F with 20% chance of sunshine being in the liquid form.
Bring EVERYTHING you need. Table, chair, ham radio, battery (and spare), antenna, paper, shade (computer tent, cardboard box, pop-up shade, water.
A normal handy talkie with good antenna should be fine. A mobile radio with a magnetic mount antenna on a cookie sheet will be fine (I checked). I will have a tripod with an extendable pole. Working in your vehicle could provide weather protection.
I hope we have several (6-8) complete stations attend. EVERYONE is encouraged to attend and LEARN and PRACTICE even if you do not have the equipment.
I plan to start using some not-yet-approved check off worksheets to start tracking your demonstration of abilities.
