Trinity County ARES

"WORKSHEET/OUTLINE"

THIS IS FOR INFORMATION ONLY....

Formal participation by local agencies has been declined in recent years. TCARES continues to prepare for emergencies by upgrading our equipment, and improving individual skills/resources.

INDIVIDUAL ARES stations may pass traffic and participate on individual basis if they wish! All are welcome to participate

SATURDAY - October 2 - 1300 to 1700PDT

SUNDAY - October 3 - 1300 to 1700PDT (If needed to complete S-E-T traffic).

• 1300 PDT K6SOJ activates a section net on 7232kHz SSB.
• (Listen up the band until you find us.)
• Be prepared to move DOWN to 7222kHz "down" (only if you are an advanced or extra class).
• 3987 kHz "down" is the 75M alternate.
• 40M/75M "primary" frequencies will be our "default" at the top of each hour should we loose contact.
• Stations with 60M be QRV on channels A, B, (and up).

60 Meter Band

CHANNEL- NOMINAL- CARRIER FREQUENCY-

• A - 5332kHz - 5330.5kHz
• B - 5348kHz - 5346.5kHz
• C - 5368kHz - 5366.5kHz
• D - 5373kHz - 5371.5kHz
• E - 5405kHz - 5403.5kHz (common US/UK)

NOTES:

\
• Every hour (1300, 1400, 1500, 1600 and 1700) a roll call will be made on the primary frequencies. Stations with traffic indicate so and stand by to send or receive traffic either on the primary frequency or be directed to another frequency or mode.
• At the "bottom" of the hour (1330, 1430, 1530 and 1630PDT) section-wide (or beyond) traffic may be passed via CW or digital mode.
• •CW on 7111 (up), alt. 3711 (up).
• HF and VHF DIGITAL section-wide traffic frequencies will be determined by the digital operators...and will be announced on the SSB nets.
• VHF stations and local ARES nets operate as per their local plan(s), keeping in mind that section traffic should be sent to a SSB relay station by the top of each hour; and to CW or digital stations before the bottom of each hour.

Relay stations:

• District 1 and 2 - K6SOJ (SSB and CW); N2RSN (digital HF and packet).
• District 3 and 4 - W6DHN (SSB and digital), W7IB SSB and CW)

• ARRL/OES and other ARES stations are welcome to check in/relay traffic.
• VHF stations with traffic going outside the range of a local net forward it to your district "hub" for relay.
• ARES units send at least one RADIOGRAM to each of the other ARES units that are participating.
