Lee County ARES Monthly Meeting, June 15, 2025

After a short business and administration meeting, Lee County ARES met on June 15, 2025, on Zoom only, to discuss emergency preparedness especially due to the recent bombing of Israel in Iran. We discussed our needs for communications equipment, and were satisfied that we had none. We commented on the excellent presentation at Williamson Co. ARES on propagation of lightning, a system to track it, and the implication for emergency management. We also talked to have a training on GRLevel 3 and weather for Lee County. We talked about our repeater for Lexington being ready and to test it on the .24 frequency first, while we wait for the tower in Lexington to be modified to install the antenna there. We finally started laying work for an October 18 exercise, although the date is still flexible.
