Mobile EmComm Trailer - Emergency Operations Center ARES ID# 139IAØ1
The Muscatine & Louisa County Amateur Radio Emergency Service is in the process or outfitting a 2008 Hornet 31' trailer with 2 slide-outs as the replacement for EmComm1.
The new trailer is actually 3' shorter than our previous trailer, but provides much more room and is much easier for us to transport, as it weighs 1/3 of what the old trailer weighed. It will be a very useful tool as it gets converted to our needs. It will feature 3 HF stations for voice and digital traffic, as well as all of the radios / bands that EmComm-1 had, with the addition of AIR band.
The plan is to repair the sub-floor and put down new flooring. In the short time we have had the unit we have done a lot of modifications and upgrades to it. Radio operations benches have been installed,and the radio equipment is in working condition. A generator that is capable of running this unit is desperately needed.
Community support is needed to complete this mission. Here is a link to our GoFundMe page.
