Unscheduled Communications Drill 18 Jan 2025

Our WPA Section Manager, Joe, W3BC, this morning requested that all ARES Emergency Coordinators conduct a drill immediately after the WPA ARES HF net.  ECs were to use ‘local net frequencies’ to take check ins from the end of the net to 10:00 Local.

Carmine, K3CWP, conducted the drill by putting out a general call for check ins on the local Centre County repeaters.  The results of the drill are below:

146.850, W3YA,
WB3AEI, K3ARL, N3IW, and AD3K

146.760, W3GA
WB3AEI, K3EDD, N3VJ, and K3ARL

443.425, K3HOT

Results of the drill were sent to WPA SEC Kevin, W3XOX, via Winlink.

Thank you to all who were monitoring and participated for fifteen total check ins.  Especially to the three stations who checked in on multiple repeaters.
