Lee Co ARES November 21, 2021 Monthly Meeting

Lee County ARES met at Elm Creek Cafe. We enjoyed the company of guests today, two coming from nearby counties. After a brief business meeting we talk extensively about our radio signal tests conducted last week from the Lee Co EOC and the pleasant surprises and unforeseen issues we encountered. We also offered solutions and proposed to meet soon to strategize our future steps to buy equipment for the Lee County EOC. We also discussed VARA, Packet, and APRS. We discussed the recent exercises we participated in this month, the State RACES Exercise, the Cyber Wind Exercise, and the CISA Exercise. We talked about VARA FM P2P and proposed a P2P net in the future. After giving an update on the EmComm van, we discussed plans for Winter Field Day to spend it as a training day. Finally, we enjoyed a presentation from KF5ZMD, WCARES SOFR, on leadership and leadership roles.
