Members participated in numerous ARES-related activities in October. Four weekly training nets were held on several area repeaters, each with digital messaging passed on simplex frequencies. In addition, several members participated in the training nets of neighboring ARES groups. Training and education focused on operations related to the annual statewide Simulated Emergency Test (SET) scheduled for Saturday November 7th.
Several members attained credentials from online FEMA and ARRL training courses, as well as completed items in their individual ARRL ARES Task Books. Also in October, GM-ARES provided assistance to our Capital Area ARES neighbors by supporting communications at the Amoskeag Regatta, as well as conducted testing of HF communications at Elliot Hospital.
