Hello everyone.
Eastern MA ARES will be holding an exercise during the morning of Saturday, February 10th. More details will follow soon, as the ARES team is still preparing the exercise scenario.
Also, the monthly hospital net will be on Saturday, February 3rd. Check ares.ema.arrl.org for which repeaters they will be using this month. The monthly ARES net will be on Monday, February 5th on the MMRA network*. Its normal reminder will be sent out soon.
Thanks!

* Please note that the affiliate repeater for ARES/SKYWARN in Bristol County is the Dartmouth 145.490 repeater, which has the ability to link into the MMRA network via RF. While that repeater is not currently up to normal health, SEMARA’s 2m repeater continues to be used as an alternative. With that said, the monthly ARES net will be carried on the Dartmouth 147.000 repeater on Monday, February 5th at 8:30 PM, barring any issues with MMRA’s IRLP node.
