On Friday, Feb 5th at 1552 hrs CCAR staff was alerted that a response was needed for the Atglen area. EC Jim Harris contacted the 911 supervisor who informed him of a phone outage and that a member needed to respond to the Atglen firehouse. Jim checked the primary repeater and found three members who had received the notification and were waiting. They were Al W3AHR, Ray KB3IGL, and George W3XE. Jim assigned Ray to respond to Atglen and Al and George to the GSC ARES/RACES room 026. Jim responded to 026 as well. By 1615 026 was fully operational with George serving as net control.

All members checking into the CCAR Weekly Information Net, should download a copy of the weekly drill message in advance and be prepared to transmit the message, if called upon by the Net Control Station. A "scripted" version of the message is included for your reference. The handling of formal message traffic is a basic skill we all need to have as emergency communicators. Your participation in this weekly training activity will help to keep your message handling skills sharp.
