Hello to all…
A reminder that the monthly ARES Net for March is rapidly approaching. The monthly ARES Net for March is Monday March 2nd, 2009, at 8:30 PM on the MMRA Repeater system. This is after the RACES Nets earlier in the evening. For frequencies that will be linked into the ARES Net on the MMRA Network, please see the following link from the MMRA web site and the repeaters that will be linked in will be through Hub 1:
http://www.mmra.org/repeaters/map.html
In addition, if the Echo-IRLP node on the MMRA hub is available, we will likely link that to the New England Reflector system on IRLP 9123/Echolink Conference *NEW-ENG* Node: 9123.
As many people are aware, we have a major winter storm coming to the region which should be over by ARES Net time. Those that have not checked into their local SKYWARN Net to give their final snowfall and any damage reports are welcome to give this information on the ARES Net.
Make the first Monday of the month, “Emergency Communications Night” and check into your local RACES Net and then check into the ARES Net on the MMRA Repeater System. We look forward to your participation and remember, we are always looking for Net Controls to run the ARES Net.
We will have several interesting announcements for the net that evening and we look forward to everyone’s participation. Updates will be posted via email and on the Eastern Massachusetts ARES Web Site at http://ares.ema.arrl.org
Thanks for your continued support of ARES!
Respectfully Submitted,
Robert Macedo (KD1CY)
