When: Saturday October 4 from roughly 9 AM to 12 Noon
Hi All,
K4NWS will be fully operational during the SET. I’m looking forward to testing all our systems & modes & contacting as many as possible.
A few items of note, we will continuously monitor 224.500 MHz, PL 100 Hz.
This frequency is our link to Central Alabama Skywarn in Montgomery & also has been used by WX4TPC at the Peachtree City WFO to link with ALERT.
It would be very desirable that EMA’s & groups with 220 MHz capability try this route so we can see how effective it is as a “somewhat secure”
frequency. While there are no truly secure amatuer radio frequencies, this, due to lack of band population, is as close as we get to having one for messages prehaps not meant for public consumption.
444.425 Mhz will be monitored. This has a 131.8 PL tone, and has a plus input on Red Mountain & a minus on Double Oak. We are toying with using this as a dedicated frequency for EMA’s to reach ALERT & hope it will be used.

The next ALERT meeting will be at the NWS at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, July 8th, 2008.
If you are not able to make the meeting on Tuesday, we will try to setup teleconferencing. Please call: 1-877-951-0997 and enter participants code 741083.The next ALERT meeting will be at the NWS at 7:00 pm on Tuesday, July 8th, 2008.
