The Limerick Generating Station Emergency Preparedness Drill will occur this Tuesday November 19. As we have done in the past, PAARC has granted permission for Montgomery County ARES to use the 147.21 repeater and Berks County ARES to use the 224.02 repeater during this exercise. It is possible that some activity may also show up on the 443.55 repeater.
We are requesting that normal communications that would occur on our repeaters be minimized or curtailed during the drill. It is expected that the drill will be active between 4 PM and 8 PM.
Thanks for your cooperation.
