How was YOUR Simulated Emergency Test?

Here's a report from WX5MOR in Moore, OK and WX5ASA in Altus.  What was your SET activity this year?

I operated at Moore EOC via both our permanent radios/antennas, and also a go-kit radio with a portable J-pole on a short mast behind our building and was able to contact all parties OK via the exercise repeater.  Also contacted Norman, RMACC, and Newcastle on direct as well as telephone contact with Moore Medical Center ER.

Successful. We had 7 check-ins. No traffic. We passed along our info via HF at the prescribed time. All was done from the EOC.

Need help with your radio?

Oklahoma City Auto-Patch Association is sponsoring another HAM Aide training day on 6 Oct 2012. This event
is open to all amateur radio operators, but it is geared towards the "new"
hams to assist them in getting on the air. We will provide information on
basic antenna building, installing a PL-259 or PowerPole connector,
operating amateur radio equipment (digital and phone modes), program or help
you program you HT, and whatever else we can do to assist you.



Bring you "treasures" to display, sell, or trade at the "tail-gate" party to
be held in the parking lot.



Please see the attached flyer for details.



We look forward to seeing you there.





73, Dave (NE5S)
