Objective - The aim of this week’s exercise is to see how
many WICEN stations we can get on air with VARA Winlink. The
objective will be the successful passing of several messages
by each field station. This exercise also tests having two
Melbourne Metropolitan control stations using single
frequencies (both on HF & VHF).<span

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">At 1930hrs all
internet & phone communications fail across the state of
Victoria due to a unknown “issue” in the states
telecommunications systems. This means all agencies are
without their usual voice and data systems. A State
Emergency Management Plan has been enacted written for this
scenario. You have set up your station at your assigned
local Police Station. At the Police station senior Police,
Fire, Ambulance and possibly SES leaders have assembled.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Your WICEN

exercise).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

If connecting with VARA FM connect to either VK3EQ or VK3MDH
and send a message (email) using VARA FM P2P that you are at
your assigned location (please specify your location) and
confirm your fully operational. You will get a message back
from the Net Control Station acknowledging your message. The
NCS will need to reconnect to your station.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class="MsoListParagraph"
style="color:black;margin-left:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1

If your using VARA HF Chat, connect to either VK3EQ or

location (please specify location) and that your fully
operational. You will get an acknowledgement back via chat
and then the NCS (Net Control Station) will disconnect.<o:p></o:p></li>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">At approx.
1945hrs ~ 2000hrs. the NCS you logged into will send you
Message 1. Via the same radio frequency (method) you checked
in on.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">It’s now 2000hrs
and at this stage as power has not been affected. Local VHF
comms using fire appliances (simplex VHF) have been used to
coordinate local responses to any immediate urgent needs for
assistance. There is a concern that a long outage could
cause the public to panic. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">At approx.

Vic standard operating procedure for this event states, Rik
