Gonna Cross Post from this thread I started in the Ham Radio sub-forum.
Here in SC all SCHEART VHF Repeaters are now linked and monitored for traffic in the State EMD HQ. All bulletins and/or announcements will be posted at the above link. Local ARES groups are manning shelters throughout the state for those fleeing the storm. The Statewide UHF PRN DMR system will be held for Command/Control with real-time or tactical reports being sent through the Analog System.

Current activation status
SC ARES is fully activated. SC Emergency Management Division is in OpCon 1. Ham Aid kits from ARRL HQ have arrived Operators serving 12 hour shifts at the SC Emergency Management Division and will move to 24-hour coverage on Thursday. 2 Operators have been deployed to Berkeley County, SC to assist with shelter operations at the request of their EC. (**one of these is a buddy of mine) Partners receiving active support from Amateur Radio SC EMD SC DHEC NWS Offices CHS, CAE and GSP on standby County EOCs Frequencies in use for response (HF and VHF/UHF) This information can be found in our Tactical guide at www.ares-sc.org. Too many to list. Evacuation routes have been reversed to support the effort. The storm track keeps changing and trending to the south. We are literally modifying plans on the fly to meet the needs of the mission. Several ARRL Sections have offered assistance. We are still trying to identify our needs. I would like to thank ARRL HQ, NC, GA, MI, FL and IN for offering assistance. Several Nets including HWN have reached out as well. Again, Thanks to all! View Quote |

Don't want to step on your thread
![]() the name is NC Florence and has no password can see my post in NC Hometown Hurricne Florence as of now there is about 12 ARF members registered on the channel. I think we can handle more but if someone wants to start SC zello channel be my guest. We used zello for Irma in FL last year and it was helpful for member to connect if they could help someone or some one needed help. To down load the app on smart phone https://zello.com/ Archived FL threads that are helpful https://www.ar15.com/forums/hometown/Irma-what-were-your-lessons-learned-what-are-you-going-to-do-different-/10-617306/ To all my ARFCOM Brothers PLEASE BE SAFE https://www.ar15.com/forums/hometown/OFFICIAL-Hurricane-Irma-Check-In/10-617114/ |

The difficult we can do immediately
The impossible takes a little longer |

used Zello back in Matthew, won't work on my 2013 Blackberry :) But it does work as long as you have network-and it works well if anyone is interested in making it happen I'll put it in the OP
