Phil Crombie, K1XFC, writes:As I’ve been announcing on the Sunday night analog and DMR ARES nets, the Connecticut SET will take place on Saturday October 26 from 0900 to 1200 hours. The purpose of the SET is to engage as many ARES members as possible in testing their emergency communications capabilities. We do this following a probable scenario that could impact Connecticut. Last year was a hurricane with information that built up during the week before the test. On SET Saturday we tested VHF, UHF, HF and digital communications modes. We also activated a number of local EOCs. Details on this years scenario will be provided as we get closer to October 26; thirty days from today.
The purpose of this email is to get the event on your calendars and to encourage everyone to set aside the time to participate.
More information to follow.
