Sherburne County ARES Annual SET
Released: Tuesday, September 1, 2009 1700 hrs.
Subject: Annual ARRL SET Exercise
On October 3 and 4, 2009,
the Sherburne County ARES will hold its Annual SET
exercise, starting at
1800 hrs Saturday. Sherburne County Emergency Management
is being asked to participate in the exercise, and updates
will be posted as soon as they are obtained.
During this exercise,
we will be making contacts with other amateur
radio operators around the world. By
participating in this exercise, we are testing how
efficient our equipment is operating and how well we are
able to operate under "field conditions". If we had
to operate during a disaster or emergency, we need to know
how well our equipment will work, what antennas would be
best for that specific scenario, how long we can operate
on a specific power source, and how each other's radios
operate.
