I also think it would be a good idea. We might even be able to get
more operators interested in helping out with emergency comms.<br>

foster a bit of coms up & down the Island <br>
between PEP and the other Emergency Program radio operators. I propose
<br>
a short 10-15 minute "check-in net" from 19:30-19:45 Wednesday nights,
<br>
starting December 2 2009. I propose we try running it for 2mos, to <br>
gauge the response/participation, and then decide if its worth it to <br>
continue after that period. We'd basically be asking for the "ERC" or
<br>
their deputy of the various groups up & down the island to check
in <br>
with their name & qth. And if there was any upcoming exercises
being <br>
run, or other news of interest everyone could mention the details, so <br>
it can be a way of keeping emergency program volunteers informed up
& <br>
down the island. I realize some of the Island Trunk system is on solar
<br>
power and during winter, batteries & light availability mean there
is <br>
limited resources. However I dont see this as being a long or <br>
protracted session every Wednesday, thus it shouldn't be a drain on <br>
the system resources."</strong></font></font></div>

great way to utilize the ITS system. Please let me know if anyone or
group has any comments regarding the proposed net. Unless there are any
objections from any group, the net will be on the ITS as described
above. Please advise all within your club or group should they wish to
participate.</font></div>
