When: Saturday, November 9 2024, 10:00AM - 12:00pm What: The Eastern MA Section Amateur Radio Emergency Service will conduct a fall operations exercise to test its capability in establishing communications with stations within its section and outside it under simulated emergency conditions. The operational exercise called November Gale will test the ability of several home stations, EOCs, possible field sites and other stations to communicate. The exercise will attempt to build upon the lessons learned from our past operational exercises. The scenario: The remnants of a tropical storm became a powerful hybrid system, leading to extensive power outages throughout eastern MA, coastal flooding on cape cod, and widespread ice damage in western and central MA. Who: The North Middlesex ARES district will be operating for the VHF voice portion of the exercise. If you are interested in the section-wide exercise details, check out the latest news posted on the Eastern MA ARES site. Any amateur radio operator is welcome to join this exercise, even if you're not part of ARES, or a SKYWARN spotter, or haven't participated in a net before. Newcomers welcome! Where: WB1GOF Westford MA FM Repeater: 146.955mhz- tone: 74.4 How: 1. Net control will announce the start of the drill and its purpose starting at 10am, then 10:30am, 11:00am, and 11:30am. 2. Net control will ask for callsigns first, only callsigns, from any amateur radio operator that has a pretend SKYWARN damage report to share. When the repeater is free, give your callsign (preferably in phonetics). No other info is needed for this step. 3. Once nothing more is heard, net control will call each individual callsign and ask for their report. 1. When your callsign is called, please respond with: First name, affiliation if any (SKYWARN, ARES, RACES, none), your town, location of simulated severe weather damage, and short description of simulated storm damage. This is a drill, so feel free to be creative and make stuff up! Power outages, ice damage, trees into houses, etc. 4. Net control will check for any additional stations, and once nothing more is heard, will close the net on the repeater until the next half hour. Additional info: The section-wide ARES exercise will be running from 10am-12pm as well. You are welcome to participate in any other aspects of this exercise if you can! There's lots of options for different bands and different modes: * 10am-12pm: Voice check-in on any repeater linked in the MMRA Network * 10am-12pm: Interested in trying to pass messages on the Eastern MA National Traffic System (NTS) net? Listen in to the 145.230-Boston Repeater (pl 88.5 hz) during this exercise and participate if you can. * 10am-12pm: Send your own ICS-213 form (skywarn damage report) over Winlink to "WX1BOX" * * 10am-12pm: check-in on the special edition of the MA/RI Digital Net (MARIDN) NBEMS net on 80m, starting at 3582.5khz (1500 khz center) in Thor 22 mode. May move to 7042.5khz USB if conditions on 80m aren't working well. * 10:30am: check-in on 80 meters voice net (3930khz and up depending on what's open) * 10am-11:30am: Check-in on echolink on the *NEW-ENG3* conference node (9123) * 11:30am: check-in on the 6-meter voice net on 53.31mhz-Mount Wachusetts Repeater pl71.9 Thanks! Hope to hear you on the air on Saturday. 73, Shawn - N1CVO -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The turkeys will be distributed to people in need from 6:30 AM to 2:00 PM this coming Saturday. The traffic management plan is enclosed and why we need AT LEAST 5 Amateur Radio operators to manage this. As one might expect, there will be people lining up around several blocks and waiting for hours. Volunteers should come around 6:00 AM to this event in the city of Lowell. Who is involved: ??????Dwelling house of hope is a Lowell Community Group which provides food on a weekly basis to those in need. This Saturday they are providing 1500 Turkeys and other fixings. They have been doing this weekly for a decade and the Turkeys for several years as well. ??????Lowell Litter Krewe is a Lowell Community Group that picks up trash and has it carted away in dump trucks. They have a good-sized volunteer community and are good at traffic management and logistics. DHH asked LLK to help and LLK asked me to help coordinate communications for this event which will cover several city blocks. ??????All this will be in Lowell, Mt. Hope St, not far from Mammoth road and the Bay State Marathon racecourse, if you are familiar. ??????Please contact me directly if you will help. Food will be provided to volunteers. There is a genuine need for us to keep this complex event coordinated. If you have other plans, consider if you can cancel them for this. Future events with these organizations will have a longer planning cycle in the future. I surveyed the site as indicated in the attached plan and verified that it can be covered by radio. That includes assuring that the church / concrete building will not be an issue for radio communications.

If you would like to purchase tent poles for your own tower, they are available in Easton MA, text Greg at 508-802-0647, he will give you directions. He sells them on the honor system, you grab what you need from the trailer (poles, guide wire stakes, etc.) and if he is not there you leave the money in one of his trucks. *Make sure you grab the types of poles with the thicker reinforced end*. They are stronger than the other ones. Bring a small ladder to get into the back of the trailer. If you want to use them for an actual tent, he also has the top pieces that spread out and support the tent material.

Once it's manufactured, those characteristics are locked in. A shape-changing antenna would enable communications across a wider array of radio-frequency (RF) bands, opening up new realms of operational agility." "Among the possibilities, a single shape-shifting antenna could do the work of multiple fixed-shape antennas, adapt dynamically to spectrum availability and change beamwidth to switch between short- and long-range communications." "The shape-shifting antenna capability that has been demonstrated by this APL team will be a game-changing enabler for many applications and missions requiring RF adaptability in a low-size and -weight configuration," said APL Chief Engineer Conrad Grant. It's right there in the article. Again, I suggest just reading it. It has nothing to do with weather dependency. 73, K1CPR Juan On Thu, Nov 28, 2024 at 9:05?PM Richard T wrote: > What exactly is the point of a weather dependent antenna? > RichieT > W1RJT > > On Thu, Nov 28, 2024, 1:35?PM Juan Jim?nez wrote: > >> Lol!
