Just a reminder for those who will be checking in on Saturday 10/1/2022 or Sunday 10/2/2022 – please check in using non-commercial power such as batteries, generators, HT or mobile radios. When checking into OCTEN on this particular weekend, please remember to advise net control when checking in, that you are using emergency power or /E. Please test your emergency back up stations, check battery voltage, etc. While running generators and batteries, its a good time to do a safety check and ensure that all off-gassing or emissions producing products are placed in a safe manor in well-ventilated areas and that if close to a building, proper smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are installed and functioning as designed.
