On the eighteenth minute of the tenth hour of the eighteenth day of the tenth month, October 18-1018 it’s time for the
Great British Columbia ShakeOut!
Delta ARS members are encouraged to review the concept of “Drop, Cover and Hold On!” with their families, co-workers and morning coffee-klatches. For more information on Drop Cover and Hold On and ShakeOut BC visit http://www.shakeoutbc.ca/
On Thursday at 1018, Delta ARS members are asked to check-in on air if practicable.
- Use the VE7SUN repeater, 147.340+ T107.2 with callsign, first name and approximate location (don’t need the address, 56 St & 12 Ave will suffice).
- After check-ins have run the course, all will be asked who wishes to test simplex.
- Net will move to simplex on the repeater output, 147.340, no offset, no tone. Suggest you pre-program.
- Roll call will commence for those who indicated they would go simplex. If you are not heard, we ask you to return to the repeater and monitor for further information.
- When simplex roll-call is complete, the group will return to the repeater for further instructions or tasks.
- Someone want to coordinate lunch?
Throughout the exercise, be alert for outside agencies attempting to communicate with us. I’ve had expressions of interest from VECTOR and the Burnaby Club to exchange information.
BONUS! I’ve been given two ShakeOut T-shirts. Somewhere down the log, we’ll have a draw for two lucky club members who have been logged in for ShakeOut.
So, that’s what’s shakin’ baby!
