OLDER NEWS/POST
Because the local digipeaters are down for a while, I have decided to suspend the digital net for the next two months. We do have some new people and are getting them up to speed on how to implement and use the digital process.
After some discussion, the group focus for the next few months will be using the ICS Winlink’s form ICS 213 < found in Standard Templates > USA ICS Forms > ICS 213
A Downloadable copy of the form is available. here: form-ICS213-Winlink
The drill using this form will be after the voice check-in at 1900 hours. Two different operators will read two different messages. The rest of the group is welcome to copy the messages. Afterward, send your copy of the message to me.
This drill aims to handle voice traffic from the field and forward it to the Operation Command Center.
Mark your calendars!
- The next HamU will be on April 29. See the education section
- The Weekly Packet Radio net on the 145.030 on the BEAR03 Digipeater has been suspended for the next two months
