Phil, why do you have to pull a double-shift?

It's a two-day exercise, and I can make it both days.

I would guess that you have to pull two shifts because there are not
enough amateur volunteers.

Actually, we have six operators qualified for that location, and we
work in teams of three (county voice net, inter-hospital voice net,
county-wide packet net) so we'll have plenty of operators. I didn't
duck fast enough so I got designated as "assistant station manager" -
that and two bucks will get me a cup of bad coffee that I don't
drink anyhow.....but they do feed us if we hang around long enough.
ggg

We did get called out today for an AMTRAK derailment because the ER
didn't know how many casualties would be diverted to our hospital.
Fortunately there were none so we stood down after two hours.
