It has been a very busy summer – lots of opportunities to practice your skills. Every event is a training event. MCARES members participated in the Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade, Field Day, Oregon International Airshow, MCARES HF Radio Campout, Race for the Cure, Portland Marathon, Quake Ex II, and we will wind it all up with the Disaster Relief Trials (DRT) this Saturday. Whew! Did any of our members work the Providence Bridge Pedal? If so, or if you worked any other communications event, please let me know at eliza [dot] pride [at] gmail [dot] com
I hope you all also had some fun away from the radios this summer.
In preparation for the fall and winter stormy season, our October 22 meeting will feature SKYWARN Weather Spotter training. See you there!
