ALERT Newsletter – October 2012

Published 10/04/2012 | By KV4S
Hi everybody and welcome to the October ALERT Newsletter.
We begin this newsletter on a sad note as I have just received word of the passing of Penny Isbell KA4KUM wife and soul mate of Jay Isbell KA4KUN. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
This month’s newsletter will start off with news of the upcoming ARRL Simulated Emergency Tests.
This year’s October tests will be held on two different dates. Autauga, Cherokee, Montgomery and Shelby Counties will hold their SET’s on October 6 from 9:00 AM to 12 Noon. While Bibb, Jefferson, Tuscaloosa, Walker and Winston Counties will be holding their SET’s October 13 from 9:00 AM to 12 noon.
There will be various emergency scenarios being played out. The scenario for Shelby County will deal with a complete loss of landline phone service and sporadic and wide-area loss of cell phone service throughout the county and nearby areas.
