Subject: EOC Check This Wednesday

On the first Wednesday evening of each month, we hold a Emergency Operation
Center (EOC) Check at multiple locations in Beavercreek and in Xenia.
Operators meet at these EOC's at 7:15 and get prepared for a "Net" to begin
at 7:30. During the "Net" we have all EOC's and any other stations wishing
to participate to check-in, after which we move to different repeaters to
check both their functionality and the capability of the radios to reach
them. EVERYONE is invited to participate, either from your location or you
are welcome to come out to one of the EOC's. Additionally, we would welcome
check-ins from ANY other EOC's in the Miami Valley Area that would like to
participate. 

To assist you in following the "Net" I have copied below the list of area
repeater used for the Net. 

XWARN 147.165 Pl 100 
KETTERING 145.110 PL 67 
XWARN 443.100 
DARA 146.940 PL 123
FAIRBORN 145.410 PL 118.8 
BELLBROOK 147.045 
GCARES 146.910 
HUBER HEIGHTS 442.925 PL 123 
SPRINGFIELD 146.730 PL 77 
WILMINGTON NWS 444.575 
SKYWARN 146.640 
CINCY SKYWARN 146.880 PL 123" 


These Monthly Nets are very important as they give us an opportunity to
check out radios and repeaters, familiarize people with the operations of
the radios and where they are located in the EOC's, familiarize operators
with EOC personnel (police, fire, and administrative), and is great practice
for Net Operations. PLEASE consider either joining our NET Control Crew or
at least participating from your location. 

TOMMORROW Night is the first Wednesday of January and we are in need of
operators at ALL EOC's in Beavercreek and in Xenia. Please email me at
kc8gle at earthlink.net if you can come out and help. 

Thanks!
