SUMMARY:Shelter Surveys - Elbert County (rescheduled from 2/3/24)
DESCRIPTION:ARES® R1D5 is scheduled to survey one or more facilities designated by the Elbert County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) as emergency warming shelters. Such surveys allow preparation and update of Key Location Forms that detail information necessary for ARES to respond to a shelter activation in a timely manner with the right communications equipment. \nThe crux of the surveys is propagation testing. We’ll be testing our primary amateur analog/DMR repeaters\, Winlink RMS Gateways\, and Simplex communication with the Elbert County EOC. \n· Our survey team will consist of one or two volunteers who can bring a GO-KIT radio (at least one DMR) along with at least a speaker stand antenna to test voice/Winlink performance from the shelters. \n· Another member will support the survey from the Elbert County EOC. \nWe usually meet in Kiowa for breakfast and review our Game Plan before heading to the survey site(s). If you are an ARES R1D5 member who would like to share some camaraderie and help on this readiness mission\, please contact Hal/KE0KFB\, AEC-OPS.

SUMMARY:Shelter Surveys - Castle Rock area
DESCRIPTION:ARES® R1D5 is scheduled to conduct surveys of four facilities designated by the Douglas County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) as priority emergency shelters. These surveys allow preparation and update of Key Location Forms that detail information necessary for ARES to respond to a shelter activation in a timely manner with the right communications equipment. \nThe crux of the surveys is propagation testing. We’ll be testing our primary amateur analog/DMR repeaters\, Winlink RMS Gateways\, and Simplex communication with the Douglas County EOC. \n\nWe’ll need one or two volunteers who can bring a GO-KIT radio (at least one DMR) along with at least a speaker stand antenna to test voice/Winlink performance from the shelters.\nWe could also use a badged DC AuxComm member to help support the survey from the Douglas County EOC using the installed AnyTone 578 transceiver.\n\nWe’re planning to meet in Castle Rock for breakfast and a review of everyone’s job\, followed by a 0900 hard start for the surveys. If you would like to share some camaraderie and help on this readiness mission\, please contact Hal/KE0KFB\, AEC-OPS.
