Fire Training Center

Fire Training Center Rd, second right on Hales Mills Rd, past Sun Valley, Rd. Johnstown NY.

Topic:

“How to Create and Pass Formal Traffic for Dummies”

  • This will be a basic / entry level training session, just enough to hopefully take any fear of checking into a Traffic Net and passing an ARRL Message.
  • The goal is to become familiar enough to be able to create and pass a message during drills like the Hospital Drill in July.

During the last snow storm there was a power outage/surge at the repeater site.  Some electronic equipment stopped working.  It was not until today that it was realized that the repeater also is not functioning.  When it is turned on and transmits, it then shuts down.  It also is not functioning on battery backup which is leading us to believe that the power supply may have an issue. ETA on repair is unknown at the moment.

We will still hold the Fulton County RACES Net on the OUTPUT (146.700 MHz) of the repeater and rely on relays to assist Net Control with check-ins.

This will be a real good test of what can happen during a real incident if there is no power at the repeater site.  We can still have a net on our output frequency without a repeater.  Please come and check in tomorrow and test how far your signal works Simplex.  Program a memory for 146.70 with NO offset and you will be right where you need to be.  See you on the net tomorrow at 7:00 PM EST 03/02/2010.
