ARES Hospital Communication Drill
–
June 15, 2013
For several years, we have been conducting a communications exercise, the
3rd Saturday of the last month of the quarter from 0930 to 1000, to test the
Amateur Radio equipment at:
St Elizabeth, Ottawa
Mendota Community Hospital, Mendota
Perry Memorial Hospital, Princeton
St Mary's Hospital, Streator
Illinois Valley Community, Peru
St. Margaret's, Spring Valley
These quarterly tests have helped us identify weather-related equipment
failures and have prepared us for several fiber communications failures.
