On October 31ST from 09:00 hours to 12:00 hours local time the ARRL Western Pennsylvania Section will be conducting a Simulated Emergency Test, or SET. The Centre County ARES organization will be participating in the SET.

The purpose of the SET is to test readiness to handle emergency communications in Centre County and the ARRL Western Pennsylvania Section.   All amateur radio operators are welcome to participate.

Interested volunteers may contact me at k3cwp@arrl.net, on the air, or after the Sunday night ARES net on 146.85. Again, the simulated emergency test will be held on October 31ST from 09:00 hours to 12:00 hours local time.
