In! Thanks WTC!
Roster 1) @AnvilUSMC 2) @58Teague 3) @ctnsupra1 4) @skydive70 5) @LexConcord 6) @WhiskersTheCat 7) @USMC2671 8) @homeyclaus 9) @mnd Does everyone on this list have a TYT (or will have one in a few days)? Can everyone PM me the grid of your home location using whatever degree of precision you are comfortable with? Will be used for coordination and routing. Even the town/municipality will be fine. |

I’m interested for sure. The 25th or 26th should be good. What equipment do I need to participate?

Do participants need to be local to VA or is this something that is going to happen remotely through electronic means?
If I can participate from Illinois and I have the required equipment, count me in. The timing of the exercise shouldn’t matter much for me. |

This exercise can be done without it however having one will make it much smoother. |

The intent here is to run a grey-man exercise. Also, for the avoidance of doubt, everything we are putting forth here is within the bounds of "legal".

@skydive70 ETA: later in the day on the 25th (unless it’s something I can do from work/ doesn’t require 100% attention) or any time on the 26th works for me. |

Is the TYT MD-390 the decided upon recommended/ standard radio? There seems to be a couple of sub-models. Any one in particular, or just with gps?

The MD-390UV with GPS is preferred right now. It has a good water rating and the GPS can be setup to send your position encrypted to our operations center, which then can auto plot your location onto a map so we can track everyone. |

It could be useful for everything from events like Richmond to natural disasters to the obvious. We have so many people with cheap Baofengs now it would probably be worth putting something together. I'm most definitely on the beginner side otherwise I'd help... I've been a HAM for almost 20 years but I only use it for FPV flying right now

Got it, thanks! Ordering tonight. It's a great radio. I got one a while ago (Amazon item B07F5R5ZXW but stock is running low right now) and have been using it mostly as a police radio scanner, but once you figure out how to program it (especially the digital channels) it's very powerful for a $150 device. I also got an upgrayyed Nagoya antenna (Amazon # B07RGXBM87). Note that for this radio you need antennas with an "SMA Male" connector. Baofengs use antennas with an "SMA Female" connector, so they are not compatible. What is compatible with Baofeng (and Kenwood) is the headset connector, so you can use e.g. the Baofeng/BTECH speaker mike (B00Z4X3MM6) & optional "covert" earpiece (B07RQNZCTS) that plugs into it. |

@alphajaguars
The idea here is to run this exercise as a test. Once complete we will undoubtedly learn a lot and understand how to make it better. We then plan to offer this up as a training event template to other groups for conducting in your AO. It should incorporate planning, comms, fitness, field craft, and be fun as well. |
