Beginning 0800 on Saturday, 3 August 2019, all Florida county Emergency Operating Centers (EOC’s) will take part in an exercise.

The exercise will involve communicating between each county to the State EOC in Tallahassee. Only personnel operating from their respective county EOC’s may participate.

Digital messages will be sent to the state EOC by voice and digital modes. HF SSB messages will be sent as follows:

80 Meters: 3.950 MHz @0900 on the morning NFL ARES net.

60 meters: 5.3715 MHz 0800-0830

40 meters: 7.242 MHz 0830-0900

A special message will be sent requesting a 50-amp power supply on 3.955 MHz sometime between 0800-1000.

SARNet check-ins will be taken starting 0900.

Special voice and digital tests will take place at 1400 and 1700 hours on 3.950 MHz. Digital stations will use WinLink/Winmor.

All ARES members are encouraged to listen in on the nets and provide signal strength reports to K4AWG by e-mail or at the next ARES meeting on 6 August 2019.
