First Aid Training

Sorry – Class is Full!

Another session will be scheduled in the near future.

=====================================================================

The weekly MST Training Net on Thursday, June 19, 2007 will be held on the K7PP Repeater System.

The primary frequency is 147.20 with a plus offset. Puget Sound stations should use a pl of 123.0Hz for access. This means anything between Centralia and Mt Vernon as well as Bremerton and Kitsap counties should all be using 123Hz.

Stations South of Centralia down to Portland and over to Astoria and Seaside and up to Aberdeen/Hoquiam should use 127.3Hz on the same 147.20 frequency.

Stations North of Mt Vernon up to Whistler BC, Hope and over to Victoria and Nanimo and out the Straits to Squim and SEE UPDATE BELOW!! Port Angles should use 107.2Hz on the Same 147.20. SEE UPDATE BELOW!!

Stations on the Coast from Aberdeen/Hoquiam up to Quanault, Queets, Lapush, Forks, Neah Bay, Beaver and areas just West of Lake Crescent should use 147.28 with a tone of 127.3Hz.

You may also get into the network on 443.4 Mhz, Plus offset, with a tone of 123Hz. This is good from Mt Vernon to Chehalis Washington. If you are in SW Washington, you may get into the network on 441.3 Mhz with a tone of 127.3Hz.

WWMST wishes to thank the owner of the K7PP repeater system for the use of the system on January 3rd.

Update on K7PP Northern most site up near Sedro Woolly on Lyman Peak

“I guess the point is for the remainder of the Winter, those using the K7PP repeater in the North should use the 123.0 hz tone for both Central and Northern applications. Modification of the repeater this summer should return much of the coverage areas without the need for another site.All other functions should remain the same except that our Northern coveragewill stop at Vancouver BC.”

==================================================================

WWMSEC was created in 1990, following the Loma Prieta earthquake in California. The organizers realized that western Washington was as susceptible to large damaging earthquakes as is California. Since then, teams in multiple counties in western Washington have been started, and more are joining in. The King County team has approximately 75-80 amateur radio members. This is the largest county in terms of demographics and number of hospitals served, as well as the hub of the communications network. There are about 24 hospitals and support agencies in King County. The other counties that we currently serve, vary in size from 2-3 hospitals and agencies up to 18-20, depending on the number of agencies and hospitals in the county and the maturity (development) of the team. We are currently working with about 40 hospitals and support agencies.

At this time, we are responsible for developing hospital emergency communications for all of the counties in Western Washington, which is from Bellingham in the north, to Vancouver in the south, and from the Pacific to the Cascades. Over the next six months, we plan to have a developing team and a relationship with all of the 52 hospitals in that region.

The team was incorporated as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization in 1999, for the purpose of raising funds to support the repeater system and the financial needs of the organization. The umbrella corporation establishes a standard training curriculum and standard procedures and forms so that all of the teams can support the hospitals in the same way.
