Well that’s neat. Is the indianapolis repeater one that will be broadcasting though?

Contact IDHS in Indy and ask if they are even participating in this. They have a local 2m repeater. Marion County RACES works with IDHS as well...maybe someone there knows something...

The nationwide Civil Air Patrol HF net is a part of this as well as the VHF repeater system. We have VHF repeaters throughout Indiana and every other state to support our Air Force assigned missions. The goal is for every squadron commander to be contacted utilizing the comms system in place.

We welcome experienced communicators to join CAP and to be part of the disaster response teams that are one of our three congressionally mandated missions.

My call sign is Redfire 372.
