With the up coming Oregon ARES S.E.T., Yamhill Couny ARES' W7YAM-10 RMS Packet station located on Eola Hills is configured to be strictly in Post Office mode to simulate an Internet outage. All received messages will be stored locally for pickup by the recipient. It will revert back to normal operations a week from today, Sunday Oct 13th. It is expected that all held mail will then be transferred to the CMS for distribution if it hasn't previously been picked up.

CREBC - XE2BNC provided a 20 meter long haul link on Pactor to facilitate Hawaii ARES. http://hawaiiares.info/

The island gateways all see each other well on 40 meters. One drill aspect was to test long haul HF forwarding in the event of regional internet outage.
To this end a reliable communications link needed to be provided from the Islands to the West coast of the US.
Most gateways tend to use omni directional antennas and when bands cooperate connectivity can be obtained on 20 and 17 meters.
