Are you Connected? FCC-Licensed Radio Operators still needed for Shoreline neighborhoods

Congratulations!!! After just one request, (see previous article) primary BE THE CONNECTION positions have been filled for Ballinger, Briarcrest, Hillwood, Highland Terrace, North City, Parkwood, Richmond Beach, Richmond Highlands, and Ridgecrest neighborhoods. All backup, secondary BE THE CONNECTION positions remain open for these neighborhoods.

Primary AND secondary BE THE CONNECTION positions still unfilled in Echo Lake, Highlands, Innis Arden, Crista, Meridian Park leaving these neighborhoods unconnected. 

Which leaves the following question unanswered: ”Who do you call when 911 does not answer?”

We Shoreliners have it all! Paradise AND: Ice storms! Snowstorms! Windstorms! Earthquakes! Tsunamis! Volcanos. And they all mean the same……

• No power. No heat. No gas. No water. No cell. No 911.
• No cash machines. No groceries. No Internet. No fun.

Stay connected! Stay informed! Stay safe!

Be the CONNECTION in your neighborhood.

How to get CONNECTED? 

Check in periodically on your schedule on Mondays, 7:30pm (1930), 442.825 (103.5), to make sure you and your radio are still working & ready!

If you are overly busy but have a little room on your schedule like many of us, put the ‘check in’ on your calendar right now. Make it a healthy habit. It is like brushing your teeth.

Each of Shoreline’s Neighborhoods needs several FCC-licensed radio operators to report conditions during storms, outages, and loss of cell service or in the wake of the Big One!

• Check in periodically on Mondays, 442.825 (103.5), 7:30pm, to make sure you and your radio are still working & are ready! If you are serious, put it on your calendar right now.
