WCF SECTION SPECIAL BULLETIN #26-02 – 2130 EST – 2/06/26
ARRL WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA SECTION SET SCENARIO IS ANNOUNCED
Tonight on the Eagle Net, the following simulated scenario was announced for the ARRL West Central Florida Section Simulated Emergency Test (SET) which takes place tomorrow morning from 0900 through 1200.
“The following is a drill message. At around 0700 EST today a fire at the transformer station next to the Nuclear power plant in Dade County, FL caused multiple power generating facilities to go offline. The automatic protection systems created a domino effect, and has darkened most of the Gold Coast and Space Coast in eastern Florida. A complicating factor is the recent opening of an AI Hub just west of Vero Beach, putting a heavy strain on the electrical grid. The State has alerted all 67 counties, and local emergency managers are monitoring the progress of power restoration. This is a drill, repeat this is a drill!!
ALL WCF Section ARRL Emergency Coordinators should plan on joining in on a radio planning net at 1000 Eastern Time, Saturday February, 7 2026 on the NI4CE analog repeater system.
All ARES personnel are to stay in communication with your local ARES Emergency Coordinator in your county for any instructions on how to participate in the SET.
