[MARA_announcements] Red Cross exercise 30 May 2020

[n1xtb]

Folks,
This may duplicate an email you may have received otherwise

If you are interested in participating, read the updated general net 
parameters at:

https://ema.arrl.org/2020/05/29/updated-eastern-massachusetts-ares-to-participate-in-national-red-cross-exercise-and-wx4nhc-on-air-test-saturday-may-30th-2020/

Operating on battery or emergency power would be a good drill for your 
station.

We may ask for stations to operate simplex on the repeater output after 
check in.
We are interested in simplex data and can use simplex to simulate 
contacts to a couple of town EOC's

Check in data will be forwarded to the Red Cross via Winlink after 12.

Stations don't have to stay in the net after checkin.  We are just 
looking for participation.
You are welcome to call the net control and leave the net after data is 
gathered.
