Table Top Exercise for the Emergency Planning Committee for the Municipality of Wasaga Beach, was supported very well. Registered stations responded from Midland, Perkinsfield, and Port McNicoll. Within 7 minutes of arrival, one APRS station, one Packet station, and one VHF/UHF phone station was in operation. A great deal was learned by all group members. Continued training for communication operation modes for ARES Response. March meeting attended by 12 operators. Topic was Basics / Refresher on the PSK31 mode for both HF and VHF/UHF. Next month's session will be on SSTV. NTS Liason Station - Ken - VA3KEW, X traffic to / from ARES group to the OSN and the OPN. Formal net report traffic commenced during this month. Local traffic = 8. OBS - Doug - VA3KNR read 4 Bulletins. VE3REK-1 BBS hardware upgrades - local area transmitter power boosted to 45 watts - links to "outside" network remain the same.
