1997 Massachusetts Statewide SET Drill Report
Hello to all...
The following is a complete report on the Massachusetts Statewide SET
Drill for Hurricane Zena held Saturday December 6th from 10 AM-Noon.
The drill well exceeded the expectations that ARES Section Emergency
Coordinator for Eastern Massachusetts, W3EVE, Steve Schwarm, ARES
Section Emergency Coordinator for Western Massachusetts, K1VSG, Dennis Zonia,
Massachusetts State RACES Radio Officer, N1CPE, Tom Kinahan, and I
had for this event. There were 263 check-ins to the various SKYWARN nets across
the region, and another 70 RACES check-ins from various towns across the
state. This brought the total number of hams involved in the drill
including the operators at MEMA Framingham and NWS Taunton
to 333 ham operators from 6 different states (New Hampshire, Vermont,
New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and of course Massachusetts).
Quite honestly, I thought we would be lucky to see 100-150 check-ins, so
everyone did a fantastic job as far as participation and spreading the word
on the drill. It was great to see the SKYWARN network lead
the charge in this drill and helps to set an example of an effective and
communicating network across the region.
Details of the drill from NWS Taunton:
N1XRS, Tony, my assistant EC for my ARES group, and I began at NWS Taunton by
getting reports from the first area effected by any hurricane the south coasts of Rhode
Island and Massachusetts. WA1GDE, Louie ran net control for the drill on the 145.49
Fairhaven Repeater and did a fantastic job, and appreciate the time that he spent doing
the drill. After fielding reports from this weather net, we then had a pleasant surprise,
an interview with Paul Kandarian of the Taunton Gazette. The interview was about
30 minutes long, and I received the article in the mail, it was a front page story in the
Tuesday Taunton Gazette!!!
Following the interview, and while the reporter was there, we checked into a couple more
nets. Tony and I checked in and received reports from South Shore SKYWARN on the 147.180
Bridgewater Repeater from South Shore SKYWARN Coordiantor Gil Follett, WA1GDJ, and NCS
Ted Mc Caw, N1WAI. The crew at South Shore SKYWARN were using a scenario and getting
mock reports. Carl, N1FYZ, carried on liaison with the Area 2A RACES Net on the 147.135
Taunton Repeater. The scenario idea worked really well on this net, and we appreciated the
extra efforts of Gil, Ted and South Shore SKYWARN.
The next net we checked into was on the 146.895 Walpole Repeater, with the Deputy director
of Walpole EMA, Dave Doe, K1HRV, manning the net. He gave us a few check-ins and we
proceeded to the next net. At that point, the reporter left, and we received a call from W3EVE,
Steve Schwarm to tell us that the vital 440 MHZ/6 meter link was down, so reports from Western
Massachusetts had to be handled via 2 meters and relayed on two different repeaters. This
worked out and we received the reports, however, this slowed down our ability to get reports
from Western Massachusetts when in a real communications emergency, time is of the essence.
Meantime, we proceeded to the 146.64 Waltham Repeater, where RACES and SKYWARN
cooperatively shared the frequency very well, between RACES NCS, WA1GEP Andy, and
SKYWARN liaison N1FWV, Jeff Arnold. I received a brief action report and allowed that
net to secure. The Danvers Repeater had no net established, and many of Danvers people
checked into the Waltham net for this drill.
We then proceeded to the Worcester County area via the 146.925 Worcester Repeater, where
Tom Pratt, N1KKY, and N1SBM, Ted Agos manned the linked repeater system between the
146.925 Worcester and 145.37 Templeton repeaters. Activity picked up on frequency and we
cycled through the Fairhaven and Bridgewater repeaters again, and made sure we had secured
liaison with MEMA Framingham via the 147.15 Framingham repeater. Folowing this, we then
completed obtaining check-ins from the Worcester County Net, and picked off a traffic msg
from KE1FI in Westfield, Mass. on the 440 Mt. Wachusett Repeater, and closed down
operations.
In summary, the drill proved that despite minor technological obstacles, we could still forward
reports statewide. The drill also proved that if the big one hits ham operators would be ready
to step up and serve. It was great to see the turnout, and those who see this report and
are interested in doing more in Amateur Radio Communications, don't hesitate to contact
me.
The following are drill summaries from other coordinators around the region:
Comments from Berkshire County SKYWARN NCS, Don Horton, N1ISB:
The Mt. Greylock 146.91 Drill SKYWARN net had 53 checkins representing
25 towns in 5 counties of Massachusetts, 9 towns representing 7 counties
in New York, 2 towns in 1 county in Vermont, and 1 report from 1 town in
connecticut. In addition, stations operating on behalf of the American
Red Cross passed 8 NTS messages among themselves and 3 EOCs (Richmond,
Pitttsfield, and Webster) reported as open.
The following comments are not to be construed as criticism. They are
instead intended to help identify obstacles that we should all work to
overcome.
The biggest obtacle that we faced here in the Berkshires prevented our WX
reports from being passed to the Taunton WFO. The plan was to bundle
them and pass them through the Mt. Wachusett link. Unfortunately, NCS
at Mt. Wachusett NCS refused to accept a synopsis report. My feeling is
that a synopsis report which would be expanded in an actual emergency to
include the most important reports is necessary to prevent tying up the
link for long periods of time. The request was made on air that we
forward all individual reports. Twenty minutes into the operation, I
was looking at 34 individual reports! As I do not have the capability
to reach the Wachusett repeater, and, had I such capability, such
reporting would have taken our net off-air for a period of at least ten
minutes, I find this unacceptable.
As it was, I used the time being taken by the Red Cross ops to
communicate with my relay station, who is in Pittsfield.
Rob, we may be able to provide synopsis reports during normal weather
emergencies, as we have discussed, but when it becomes a widespread
emergency with participation from other agencies some other means may
be needed.
The passing of traffic by the Red Cross operators worked very well,
proving that we can handle multiple operations on one repeater, providing
they are done in a bundled, short-time mode. That happened
today, and I can't say enough for N1MUV, N1LYJ, and their fellow
operators.
I was not quite sure what to do about the EOC reports. Since I
had heard from N1ROX at Belchertown before the S.E.T. began, I expected
that someone down there would call and question me. If they were indeed
monitoring and copied the information, then all is well. I think,
though, that it would have been useful to have been informed of that
during the operation.
Having that out of the way, the overall operation seemed to go well
from my limited vantage point. If my experience here in the
western end of the state is any indication, we produced the numbers we
needed. I had hoped for thirty stations. Fifty-three completely blew
me out of the water (in a nice way!).
Thanks for the opportunity to participate in this drill!
Comments from NZ1D, Bill Wornham from Montachusett ARES/RACES:
On Saturday Dec 6, members of the Montachusett ARES/RACES participated in
the ARES, RACES and SKYWARN exercise hurricane Zena sponsored by
MEMA/NWS. Bill NZ1D, EC NE Worcester County and Net Manager of the
Montachusett Emergency Net (MEN) earlier had asked Ralph KD1SM if he
would find a suitable location somewhere near the center of Lunenburg
where we could participate in the MEMA sponsored drill. Ralph arranged
through Brian LeBlanc (EM Dir) and Dennis Carrier (Fire Chief) to have us
set up Ralph's RV at the Lunenburg Police/Fire station, which turned out
to be an excellent choice. The following are highlights of net activity:
0900: Bill announced a standby alert on the MARA club repeater, announced
that the MEN would be activated "within the hour" and requested all
stations to standby for further info. A second alert was sent 10 minutes
later. Bill then departed for the command post in Lunenburg, arriving
approx 0945. Ralph and Stan KD1LE were already in place and busy
erecting the R5 for the HF station.
1000: N1SBM activated the Worcester SKYWARN net on 146.925. By 1010 we
were set up and NZ1D opened the MEN ARES on 145.45 and took check-ins.
Tom K1JHC with Phil WA1DWS riding shotgun had positioned themselves on a
hill in Leominster and as soon as our net was opened they sent Leominster
weather conditons to us for relay to SKYWARN. Several minutes later Paul
WB1EWS sent us a Fitchburg report. Weather info was logged by Jeanine
N1QIT and relayed to NWS by KD1LE via the WMEN on HF. (Although we could
have relayed it on 2m, or sent it to NWS direct on UHF we chose the HF
route for several reasons: (1) to prove that the HF "link" was a viable
way into NWS, (2) to establish liaison from MEN to the section net, and
(3) we weren't sure at the time how reliable our signal to the "925"
machine was going to be.) Bill then checked into the 2m SKYWARN net,
found we could get in, and sent Lunenburg weather direct to N1SPN.
1022: WMEN was secured but we continued to monitor the frequency for any
additional activity. At that point we were operating on "45" and
monitoring SKYWARN on "925" with Ralph's dual-band radio, so Bill
monitored 448.175 (MEMA) repeater on Mt Wachusett for RACES activity.
1033: a call was monitored on 448.175 announcing that MEMA Director
LaPorte had requested RACES activation. Bill, who is also Sector Chief
for CMASS Sector 3E East RACES, asked Charlie WN1E as backup NCS to make
an announcement on "45" that the MEN was going to standby mode while we
switched frequency to the Area 3 MEMA RACES net being run from MEMA Area
HQ at Belchertown on "97". Bill then turned his hat around and checked
into the Area 3 net and received Director LaPorte's message.
1039: According to our plan, the MEN ARES session was superseded on "45"
and the RACES net was called. After the town Radio Officers rollcall a
call was made for other amateurs, resulting in a total of nine checkins
including some who had already been QNS on the ARES session. We relayed
director LaPorte's message to the local RO's and their being no further
checkins, closed the RACES session at 1052, turning the repeater back to
the MEN ARES standby mode. We then passed our RACES report to Area 3
Belchertown via "97" and sent a formal message for relay to N1CPE State
RACES Officer at Framingham.
We continued the ARES session on "45" while monitoring the Area RACES net
on "97," and the MEMA 448.175 repeater. We used the UHF repeater to
talk KD1CY at NWS Taunton and passed informal traffic between KE1FI in
Westfield (who was on UHF and couldn't raise the "97" net) to Area 3 HQ
at Belchertown via "97."
1134: Gerry AA2T passed weather to us from Fitchburg Airport via "45."
1149: Roy W1OOY passed Westminster weather via "45."
1206: Bill closed the ARES session on "45" but we continued to monitor
UHF and the Area 3 RACES net on "97" until MEMA secured at approx 1230
hrs.
Lessons learned: We were originally going to have a second 2m radio
monitor "97" for RACES activity because we weren't sure whether SKYWARN
and RACES were both going to try to share "925." Since RACES came up on
"97" we operated "45" and "97" with the dual bander and only occasionally
switched to "925" for SKYWARN. If we had had fast-breaking weather
conditions, such as tornado activity within the hurricane, it would have
been advantageous to monitor all three frequencies. That would have
required a second "position" in the command vehicle to reduce confusion.
As it was, we could have missed some calls on "45" due to activity on the
RACES frequency. The dual-band radio is convenient but probably a
dedicated radio and operator would be needed in a real emergency. We
probably should have had a second NCS dedicated to monitoring "45" ("with
a radio glued in his ear," as one op put it). In a major emergency
covering a wide area, ARES/RACES on "45" should take precedence and
"official" liaison stations should be assigned to monitor and check in to
the other nets such as WMEN, Area 3 RACES and SKYWARN.
We planned to have a third 2m station to demonstrate autopatch to local
PD/FD dispatcher or ARC headquarters Leominster and to send NTS "Test
Welfare" traffic to remote 2m station at ARC, etc. Plans were do do this
outdoors, but windy and chilly weather prevented us from setting up a
public display and a demo table. Also it would have been difficult to do
with the limited staff on hand. We were also prepared to operate a
message booth on a limited basis, using simple ARRL canned radiograms but
did not attempt it for the same reasons.
Logging is a problem. NCS can log net activity such as check-ins,
traffic status, etc., but each net should have a dedicated logger to take
detailed information, such as weather reports, copy message traffic and
perform statusing of open/closed events. During net operation, Jeanine
N1QIT did an excellent job of tracking the weather reports. We used
SKYWARN forms designed for that purpose (from an earlier version of the
EC Manual; some field modifications were required due to different
criteria being requested by NWS for this drill). Also having one person
assigned to maintain personnel in/out assignments is recommended (Barry
W1HFN was assigned to that function while he was there). Review of and
understanding how to use the forms before the event might be helpful if
you have a green crew but we didn't have a problem.
Summary: We were centrally located in N. Worcester County and could
operate all bands 80 - 2m, 70cm plus APRS. Our command vehicle was
self-contained, operated on batteries and had backup generator. We
monitored and operated on six frequencies: three VHF nets, one UHF, one
HF net and APRS. We demonstrated that we could use the MEMA UHF repeater
(with HT and rubber duck) for backup capability in case the Worcester
repeater(s) went down. We also had 6m capability if it had been
required.
In addition we were within the coverage zone of "64" (Waltham) "23"
(Boston) and "91" (Greylock) and could have provided liaison between EMA
and WMA had it been necessary. We had six operators at the EOC and seven
at field sites for a total of 13 check-ins (see below). Four SKYWARN
trained, seven with NCS experience and several active NTS participants.
We passed four pieces of formal message traffic (Rx 2, Tx 2), received
six weather reports from Fitchburg (1), Leominster (3), Townsend (1) and
Westminster (1) and sent seven (one from the Lunenburg EOC). The
ARES/RACES joint session ran 1 hr and 55 minutes.

Comments from Bill Ricker, N1VUX, Waltham SKYWARN Alternate NCS:
After checking into one net, I scanned around to see how active
the area was during the SET. I monitored (x=checked into with
answers) the following nets:
x 146.895 Walpole EOC Races & Skywarn
x 145.230 BARC ER Team ARES
x 146.640 RACES 1A/1B and Skywarn
146.820 linked to .61 MMRA for "airplane" foxhunt,
others 146.67,146.715,440 etc linked during ARES net
x 146.700 N1JMA SEC RI ARES net, just a quickie,
in recognition of our Skywarn/ARES SET,
after actual emergency traffic (highway).
145.250 RACES 2B
146.865 RACES 2D
x 147.180 Bridgewater Skywarn
x 146.970 Races 3E
146.925 Worcester Skywarn was still going at 1155!
The only repeaters I monitored that were in normal rag-chew only:
147.09 -- S9 in Dorechester on a duckie, so probly not Blackstrap.
147.27
145.47 -- rumor had it Danvers had a tech problem, possibly PL?
147.12 -- Heard only after most nets were off
Comments --
* Andy WA1GEP and Jeff N1FWV did a great job sharing their frequency.
(I had one transceiver on them continually, since I'm one of Jeff's
backups.) Having Andy do net control and Jeff copy the reports
worked very well. I heard a few other NCSs wishing they'd had
a net-secretary to copy/relay the reports while they were traffic
cop. Knowing how hard it is to be NTS NCS and give/take traffic
at the same time, or keep minutes of club net while acting as
NCS, I sympathize. Worth doing when we can, but not something we
can count on in a real emergency either. A point to remember in
NCS training.
* Heard several NCS's initial dubiousness of having all three
services drill at the same time (which had several repeaters
sharing) change to "heh it works" by end of exercise.
* Most NCSs only knew about their own services's frequencies,
couldn't advice stations of what frequencies to find the other
services on (and gave erroneous information when the tried).
I had given a list of net frequencies (and RACES town
assignements) to KA1TUZ, BARC-ER NCS, in anticipation of this.
This list will be a standard attachment to the Mass-modified
FSD255 that I'm preparing.
* One station accepted a RACES message for his town not realizing
that ARES wasn't RACES. I heard him contact his local ARES on
another frequency to ask about EOC and shelter status,
so I suggested he forward the message to his RACES RO ASAP.
It all worked out ok, but after that the RACES Sector NCS was
more careful about differentiating RACES checkins from others
reporting town/temperature.
* I'm very unclear on how we'd have used WA1TBY's EMRI Emergency
Phone Net on 3.915 had he activated it. NWS doesn't have HF,
and we didn't have HF-capable stations detailed to be liasons from
the VHF nets.
As part of the statewide exercise,we operated a net linking ARC chapters
in W/Ma. In the net call up,amateur radio operators checked in from the
following.
Pioneer-Valley Spfld. Berkshire Cty.- Pittsfield
Franklin Cty.-Greenfield Westfield Chapter
Hampshire Cty.- Northampton
After a call up of stations on the net Spfld. acting as net control,sent
a Test msg.to all stations requesting simulated info on available supplies at
each chapter. All stations replied with simulated msg. answering queries.
(NTS format)
The net ran on 146.91mhz. Mount Greylock repeater with the cooperation of
the net control (N1ISB Don) of an active Skywarn net and the NOBARC
repeater club
