On 9 August, during the EOC portion of the McGuire Station Exercise,
KG4YNM
and myself verified/validated the 2M back-up capability at Western
Branch
OEM. With no external antenna we used a mag-mount suspended from the
ceiling
grid and were able to access 4 of the 5 repeaters programmed into the
transceiver. We could hear Grandfather Mtn but could not access it. We
were
then invited to participate in the de-brief as the exercise wound down.
We
provided a short overview of HAM capabilities and versatility vis-a-vis
emergency comms.

August was a good month for Mecklenburg County ARES. The McGuire
Nuclear Drill was a success. We put to use for the first time, the
WINMORE digital sytem.
The FEMA representative was there to see how the WINMORE System worked.
We could not put a HF antenna on the roof of the Mecklenburg County EOC
or on the grounds of the EOC. I used the WINMORE Telnet to send my
traffic to my relay station to then send it by HF WINMORE to the State
EOC. The State EOC then sent the response back to my relay station and
then he sent it to my station in the Mecklenburg County EOC. The
message was from the Incident Comander in a 213 format and he wanted it
to be sent to the State EOC.
The WINMORE System worked great and the FEMA Representative ( Grader )
was very please with the WINMORE System and want to see it used more in
future drills.
We had one station to become ICS Certified and it is my goal to get more
stations in Mecklenburg County ICS Certified. It is also my goal to get
more stations to be able to use and operate the WINMORE System. I am
planning to have more training sessions on the WINMORE System in the
near future.
The Mecklenburg County ARES Training Net is going very well. We are
reviewing the ICS Courses. Also the Mecklenburg County ARES Blog page
is being used the way I designed it to be used. The Hurricane notices
that was sent out, I posted them on the blog page and the members in
Mecklenburg County was able to see the latest up dates on the Hurricane
from the ARES side of things. The link to the Mecklenburg County ARES
website is:
