ARES/RACES

Hello XCA ARES, I’m sure by now you have been made aware of the POSSIBLE PSPS on the 7th. Please make sure that you have your batteries charged for you HT’s, fuel for your Generator(s) and some non-perishable food items. Please monitor the CARS repeater on 145.170 + T100 and/or the WPT Fire CERT repeater on 440.1 + T100. I will try to link the two repeater via WiRES if there is an outage. I am unsure long the backup power for the CARS repeater will last, but the WPT Fire CERT repeater is on battery backup, until the Generator take the load, that normally takes about 1 to 2 minutes for the load to transfer.
