It was brought to my attention at a meeting yesterday that those of you with CERT radios might be reluctant to use them for non-CERT activities. I’ve been told by upper management that this is absolutely incorrect. CERT members MAY use their issued radios for any ham radio activity. How else would you gain the experience necessary for an actual emergency.
CERT radio channel #1 is where we’ll be tonight at 7PM. (Have pen and paper ready.)
Note: This test will be conducted tonight, Sunday, 12 May 2019.

——– Forwarded Message ——–
OK, so a few of us were able to make contact last Sunday evening for a short chat.
We’ll be there again this Sunday evening….same Bat time, same Bat channel:
7PM on Cert radio channel #1, or 146.490 (simplex)
Attached is some general information for radio operation. This is just to assist you, and there will be no pop quizzes.
If you are a husband and wife team with only one radio between you, you can take turns so both have the benefit of practicing.
See ya’ if you’re inclined to join in. Have your batteries charged.
