WTX DIGITAL MESSAGE EXERCISE
THE EL PASO COUNTY ARES® (EPCARES) WILL HOST THE WTX DIGITAL MESSAGE EXERCISE ON MAY 21, 2016. WE WILL BE USING WINMOR P2P AND NARROW BAND EMERGENCY MESSAGE SYSTEM (NBEMS) AND D-RATS DURING THE EXERCISE. THE EXERCISE WILL RUN FROM 1500 UTC TO 1800 UTC. SEND A SEVERE WEATHER REOPORT, V1.4. GIVE YOUR ACTUAL WEATHER REPORT FOR YOUR AREA. IN THE NARITIVE BLOCK TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON IN A FEW SENTENANCES WITH YOUR WEATHER. SUCH AS A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM IS KEEPING YOU HOT AND DRY, OR AN UPPER LEVEL LOW IS BRING COOLER AND WETTER WEATHER, ETC. ELABORATE ON THAT A LITTLE MORE. YOU MAY SEND A MESSAGE TO ALL OF OUR STATIONS IF YOU WISH.
FOR WINMOR P2P USERS
A SEVERE WEATEHR REPORT CAN BE DOWNLOADED FROM: http://winlink.org/content/listings_other_forms_non_ics_hics_iaru_hospital_float_plan_webeoc_etc THIS SEVERE WEATHER REPORT IS THE SAME ONE THAT IS IN FLMSG. IT’S BEEN ADAPTED FOR RMS EXPRESS. I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT ALL FORMS BE KEPT UP TO DATE AS SOMETIMES NEWER VERSIONS DO NOT POPULATE CORRECTLY WHEN OLDER VERSIONS ARE USED. MESSAGES CAN ALSO BE REFUSED OR RETURNED WHEN THEY ARE NOT THE SAME VERSION. IF ANYONE NEEDS ASSISTANCE INSTALLING THIS FORM IN RMSE SEND ME AN EMAIL (KB5HPT@ARRL.NET) OR CATCH ME ON D-RATS ON THE AE5HE RATFLECTOR MOST ANY EVENING AND I WILL HELP YOU OUT. A THIRD PARTY ADD-ON CALLED “LAZARUS FORM RECOVERYö FOR CHROME AND FIREFOX ALLOWS DATA TO BE ENTERED FOR NON-RMS EXPRESS USERS.
ALTERNATE FREQUENCIES HAVE BEEN LISTED ON THE ATTACHED ICS205A. WE WILL CHANGE FREQUENCIES EVERY 20 MINUTES AND CHANGE BANDS AT THE TOP OF EACH HOUR. THE UTC TIMES ARE SHOWN IN THE “INCIDENT ASSIGNED POSITIONö COLUMN.
JOIN US ON D-RATS FOR LIVE CHAT DURING THE EXERCISE ON THE AE5HE RATFLECTOR. USE HOST ADDRESS: ae5he.ham-radio-op.net, PORT 9000. WEATHER REPORTS CAN ALSO BE SENT TO US USING D-RATS. CONNECT TO THE W5ELP REPOSITORY ON THE AE5HE RATFLECTOR AND DOWNLOAD skywarn.xml THEN FILL IT OUT AND SEND IT TO US. IF YOU HAVE AN EXTERNAL GPS ANTENNA CONNECTED TO THE COMPUTER ENABLE “USE EXTERNAL GPSö ON THE PREFERANCES – GPS PAGE IN D-RATS, AND D-RATS WILL INSERT YOUR GPS COORDINATES FOR YOU IN THE MESSAGE.
FOR NBEMS USERS WE WILL USE FLDIGI, FLMSG, FLWRAP AND FLAMP. TURN ON RXID. CHECK-INS WILL BE TAKEN USING OLIVIA 8-500. MESSAGES SHOULD BE SENT USING MFSK32. AS WITH WINMOR P2P SEND A SEVERE WEATHER REPORT FOUND IN FLMSG FORMS DROPDOWN MENU AND WAIT FOR OUR REPLY. FLMSG V2.0.17 IS THE LATEST. (AT THE TIME OF THIS WRITING) THE WEATHER REPORTS ARE INCLUDED. NBEMS WILL ALSO BE CHANGING FREQUENCIES AND BANDS AT THE SAME TIMES AS THE WINMOR P2P STATIONS. CONSULT THE ICS205A FOR EXACT TIMES. HAVE FLAMP OPEN AND RUNNING ON YOUR DESKTOP AS BULLETINS WILL BE SENT OUT USING FLAMP. BULLETINS WILL BE SENT USING MFSK64. AFTER THE BULLETIN IS SENT YOU WILL BE ASKED IF YOU HAVE ANY MISSING BLOCKS. CLICK THE “REPORTö BUTTON AND TRANSMIT YOUR REQUEST WHEN THE FREQUENCY IS CLEAR. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUT A BULLETIN USING FLAMP PLEASE LET THE EL PASO STATION KNOW SO THAT WE CAN CLEAR THE FREQUENCY FOR YOUR TRANSMISSION.
