ONE: If there's an emergency, don't miss the boat.
TWO: Despite local loyalties, we are all in the same boat.
THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining
when Noah built the Ark.
FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do
something really big.
FIVE: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs
to be done.
SIX: Build your future on high ground. Have your emergency kits prepared.
SEVEN: Speed isn't always an advantage.
The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
EIGHT: You can't help others, if you don't take
care of yourself and your family.
NINE: Remember, the Ark
was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

EmComm members should be able to program their radios with both the
repeater frequency (with offset), and
the repeater frequency as a simplex channel (without offset). This will allow repeater frequencies to
be used, even when a repeater is off the air.
Times are
Eastern Time, unless shown otherwise.
Corrections and updates
are welcomed.
