"National Preparedness Month" Net w/ Carolina 440 group tonight
We will connect with Carolina 440 Repeater Group at 7:25 PM tonight and join their weekly 7:30 PM net. See the message below from Ron Casey, K4JDR about the "National Preparedness Month" emphasis of the net. Net Control should call for NC HEARS stations separately, so please listen for the cue.
National Preparness Month Net Monday September 14 Posted by: "k4jdr" K4JDR@juno.com k4jdr Thu Sep 10, 2009 7:23 pm (PDT)
The National Preparedness Month Net is scheduled for Monday, September 14 at the usual Carolina 440 Ragchew Net, 7:30 PM time.
Basically the Net can proceed just as usual, but with emphasis on it being NPM 2009 and a short program on the recommended items in an Emergency Supply Kit. This is all that is needed for us to have qualified with the Homeland Security/Ad Council NPM requirements as an Amateur Radio Organization.
Also if anyone can advertise the net with local and regional Ham Clubs, CERT Teams, etc. so that we may get added participation on the Net, that would be great.
We hope that other IRLP systems in NC, SC and VA will connect to Reflector 9210 for the net.
EchoLink Connections can be made on Node# 42704
Information on NPM 2009 can be viewed on the web at: www.ready.gov
