Monthly Hospital Net
- Voice Net
- A monthly net is held on the fourth Wednesday of each month (except Nov. and Dec) at 19:00 on the county Hospital Net frequency. Hospital net operators operate the net using the radio equipment at each hospital. They test the equipment operation and report on its status. Once per quarter, we also staff the PHDOC (Public Health Department Operations Center). The Hospital Net Schedule and script below provides more details for checking into this net.
- Packet Nets
-
The Hospital Packet Net is also conducted on the fourth Wednesday of each month.
During these nets a packet message is sent to PLVKSXF~9"}n from each hospital.
The net schedule and script below provide more details.
The Packet Net is open from 18:00 to 19:30 for ARES/RACES amateur radio operators assigned to the hospitals and is conducted along with the Voice Net at 19:00.
- Packet Message Form
- The message to be sent each month will be provided to you. As a radio operator you will normaly not create 3rd party messages yourself, they will be provided to you by hospital staff. For the Monthly Hospital Net, the message can be obtained from wpp.scc-ares-races.org. These messages will rotate using different forms each month and will appear on the website the day of the Monthly Net.
