Randy Scott KA4SQN has organized a multi-county ARES exercise for April 2025. We are looking for volunteers to participate in the exercise. Please let Randy know your preferred location to set up a NVIS antenna and radio station. Stations will need to operate on battery or generator power, as there will be no commercial power to connect your stations. Looking for operators to team up into 2 man or more in a group. If you want to pre-volunteer for a particular site that would be great.
