LARGE SCALE INCIDENTS.  IF THIS ENTIRE EVENT HAD BEEN CARRIED OUT INSIDE
MARION COUNTY, LOCAL HAMS WOULD HAVE HAD AT LEAST EIGHT VHF AND TEN UHF
REPEATERS TO USE, NOT TO MENTION SIMPLEX COULD HAVE BEEN USED TO COVER
INCIDENT COMMAND IC TO EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER EOC OPERATIONS.  OUR NEW
IC THIS TIME WAS 65 MILES AWAY FROM THE EOC.  A RECON WAS PERFORMED EARLY
ON TO FIND OUT WHAT REPEATERS WOULD PROVIDE COVERAGE FROM MARION COUNTY TO
JENNINGS COUNTY AND YET PROVIDE OTHER PARTICIPATING COUNTIES AND CAMP
ATTERBURY WHERE THE FORWARD JOINT OPERATIONS CENTER FJOC WAS LOCATED.
THERE WERE ONLY A FEW REPEATERS THAT MET THESE REQUIREMENTS SHELBY,
BARTHOLOMEW, JOHNSON, AND MARION COUNTIES.  BUT ONE REPEATER SYSTEM STOOD
OUT AMONG THE REST, THE W9WIN LINKED REPEATER SYSTEM.  THIS VHF/UHF LINKED
SYSTEM HAS COVERAGE OVER MOST OF CENTRAL TO SOUTHERN INDIANA, SO IT WAS
USED AS THE PRIMARY COMMUNICATIONS LINK, BUT NOT THE ONLY LINK.  MIKE,
N9FEB, WROTE THE COMMUNICATIONS PLAN TO INCLUDE UHF, FM, VHF AND SSB,
