Monthly EC Report for the Month of January, 2011
Comments:
The Frontenac ARES Group took part in the SPAR Winter Field Day. This is the fifth
year we have done so. We deployed to a small uninsulated summer cottage,
65 Km. North of Kingston, and operated for 24 hours under less than ideal
conditions. VE3SIQ, VE3MNE, VA3ORP, VE3CLQ and our DEC, VA3WOW, all took
part in the Winter Field Day.
This event is designed to teach us how to deploy and operate under frigid
winter conditions. We do hope that everyone realizes that not all
emergencies happen in good, warm weather, and we need to be prepared for
deployments in all seasons.
Our next activity also has a winter theme. We have been asked to help the
Lanark-North Leeds ARES Group to provide communication for the Rideau Lakes Sled Dog Races at the end of the February, 2011.
