''Regional Subnet: We operate simplex subnets to serve up to 9 regions of Portland. Each subnet has a Subnet Control Operator (SNC) who follows the [[Subnet Control Operator Standard Operating Procedure|Subnet Control Operator Standard Operating Procedures]].'' | |||
''Resource Net:'' During major exercises and actual deployments we use a Resource Net to keep track of amateur radio operators to help assure their safety and to determine their availability to assist in the deployment. Our Resource Net can also be used to share updated information as people become available during an exercise or emergency. Examples would include frequency changes and changes in organization. We use the MC-2 repeater for the Resource Net. If the repeater should be down you should use MC-12 to communicate simplex on the frequency normally used by the MC-2 repeater as its output frequency. | ''Resource Net:'' During major exercises and actual deployments we use a Resource Net to keep track of amateur radio operators to help assure their safety and to determine their availability to assist in the deployment.

''Winlink Gateway'': During a major disaster, the Winlink gateways in Multnomah County may be cut off from each other due to problems with local Internet connectivity (e.g. a severed fiber optic cable.) During exercises, we simulate this situation by requesting that all subnet controllers try to use an experimental gateway located at the EOC. Operators should not start a Winlink session until after they confirm that a session is not already underway on the same frequency. | ''Winlink Gateway'': During a major disaster, the Winlink gateways in Multnomah County may be cut off from each other due to problems with local Internet connectivity (e.g. a severed fiber optic cable.)
