SET EXERCISE

This Saturday October 29th we will be conducting our annual SET EXERCISE. The purpose of this exercise is to test our equipment and readiness for a actual emergency situation. Members who participate will be asked to do various tasks during the exercise. Our Emergency Communications Trailer will be setting up at a undisclosed location and will be the control station during the event. Sorry we cannot provide any additional information because this is a test of our ability to provide emergency communications and backup to our 1st responders in our area.

Some common skills utilized for SET Exercises include:
Prepping for remote / portable ops
Simplex testing
Mapping and logging

Please be listening to the 2m repeater this Saturday October 29th between 0830 and 0900 am for instructions. We ask as many of you who can to please participate.

Great day for our September POTA activation. We set up at the Katy Depot in Sedalia. Special thanks go out to Scott (KJ4MWF) for setting up his hf station. A 1st for the club was Don (KF0ARQ) who set up his station as well but worked ft8. We had a total of 21 members who came out and played a little radio today. We did have a few visitors while we were there and enjoyed talking to them about ham radio. We made several contacts all across the US and Canada. The big hit of the morning was Lori (KF0IHX) who brought a butter cake that was very delicious. A very good time was had by all.
