Re: Radio communication as part of preparedness
you took the words out of my mouth. Another issue, many Hams (including and especially Extras) have never operated outside of a shack, all their equipment and antennas are bought not made, and they don't know how to maintain them, including basic fixes. Field comms for them is annual field day, where the county EMA trailer is brought out, a few people will try go kits but mostly prefabbed, then "how many points can we get".
Lancaster and Lebanon Sky Warn team has been running simplex tests in case the primary repeater that is linked to State College goes down, Their Net Control folks have Lancaster broke down to 4 regions (N,S,E,W) very organized and has helped many people in the surrounding counties (York, Dauphin, Chester, Berks) to calibrate their home and mobile stations for simplex operations as well as identifying comms holes.
