3 Did you miss the ARES/SATERN meeting Monday, August 14 th? We need to attend the meetings to keep us an informed team. Please, attend September 11th at 7pm. Yes, 9/11. NET CONTROL & RELAY STATIONS WERE NEEDED ON MHz ON MONDAY, 21 AUGUST Z to 2200 Z SATERN operators contacted Net Manager Ken Gilliland (AG6SV) at AG6SV@ATT.net. SATERN activated the International SATERN SSB Net on MHz at a DELTA II status from 1400 Z to 2200 Z on Monday, 21 August This was to support the American Red Cross and the ARRL which activated numerous local units of both organizations in the path of eclipse totality nationwide. The concern was that the millions of people - estimated to be about 7.5 million - flowing into the narrow path of totality across the United States may result in an overload and disruption of the normal communications infrastructure. ARES supported the American Red Cross with communications locally and use the International SATERN SSB

4 Net as a national communications path for long-range communications to American Red Cross regional and national headquarters. Mike Asselta KDØCDQ served as Solar Eclipse net control 2000 to 2100 UTC, National MHz.
