The Great Utah Shakeout 
Thursday, April 18, 2019  
Drop, Cover and Hold On at 10:15am.



In conjunction with the annual Great Utah Shakeout,
the Salt Lake Crossroads Amateur Radio Club invites you 
to participate in two short radio exercises on April 18th:


Time:              11:00am 
Frequency:      448.525 MHz, minus 5MHz offset, tone 100 - REPEATER
Location:         Walk or drive to any elementary school in Salt Lake City and
                        check into the net.


Time:                7:00pm
Frequency:       147.500 MHz simplex
Location:         Walk or drive to any elementary school in Salt Lake City and
                        check into the net.


The intent of this exercise is to develop a better understanding of signal strength and clarity of communication from each of the elementary schools in Salt Lake City.

Please operate from a safe location around the school - obey any traffic laws and established school safety rules.

DO NOT interfere with normal school operations or ask to operate from within the school.  There will be future events where correlation with the elementary school will exist.  This exercise is very simply to communicate from parking lots, streets or perimeter areas near the school.  There is no correlation with the elementary schools for access inside or onto the school grounds to set up a major operating station or such.  

Looking forward to hearing from you!
