In case you missed us Saturday and would like to take a look at our neighborhood emergency container we’ll have it open tonight for our monthly radio drill. Every month we open our container and conduct radio checks with emergency response teams around the Monterey Peninsula. We’ll be broadcasting from our container in the Tot Lot on Spray Ave tonight at 8:00 PM.

We recently installed a new, larger antennae and we are one of the only containers that can communicate with most other neighborhoods around the Peninsula.

Monterey has three FCC-licensed frequencies that are dedicated to our emergency response communications. If you would like to participate please send me a message as I have a few extra radios. These are part of the City’s Community Emergency Response Team. If you would like to purchase your own radio to have and to monitor, to stay prepared and participate at any time, these are the radios we are using: Wouxun KG-UV3D Dual Band 128 Channel Handheld Amateur Radio: http://www.powerwerx.com/two-way-radios/handheld-wouxun-radios/kg-uv3d-dual-band.html

Hope to see you tonight!
