b. The ARO checks in with the Multnomah County Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) Resource Net Controller on the Resource Net MC-2. Checking in with MC-2, the ARO gives his or her FCC call sign and frequency, and waits for acknowledgement from the net control operator. Once recognized, the ARO then provides the following information: | |||
* Name | |||
* FCC Call Sign | |||
* Any other information deemed necessary by the ARO or requested by net control | |||
c. The ARO then declares that she or he already has an assignment (which is to support the NET) and is switching to the PBEM tactical net. | |||
d. If no contact is possible on the Multnomah County ARES Resource Net (MC-2), AROs should attempt to make contact with a Multnomah County ARES Net Controller via Multnomah Resource Net | |||
Simplex (MC-12). | |||
e. After checking in with the Resource Net Controller (or attempting to check in) the ARO switches over to the tactical net reserved for PBEM at MC 8, followed by MC 9 if there is no answer at MC 8. The ARO will check in with the PBEM Tactical Net Controller, sited at the ECC, and repeat the same information given for the Multnomah County Resource Net check in. | |||
f. Regular radio traffic and monitoring commences. The NET Tactical Net Controller will contact each team periodically for status reports and issue deployment authorization messages or assignments as necessary. AROs should use the NET Tactical Net also to request resources and information. AROs will handle life threat radio traffic on a different tactical net: MC-6. This s the only circumstance under which an ARO should communicate NET activities on a frequency other than the NET Tactical Net unless directed differently by the Net Controller. | |||
