Danbury EOC will monitor 146.580 MHz (Simplex)

Local Airmail / Packet 145.030 MHz

Information to be exchanged during each contact:


Call Sign
Location
Signal Report
Whether or not operating from community EOC
Primary equipment / antenna configuration
        Other information as appropriate

This will provide all of us with an excellent opportunity to benchmark and measure of how well we can get in contact and allow us to measure progress as we develop our plans and programs to support the local ARES teams around the state.
