ARLA/CLUSTER: ‘Estamos lá em mais formas do que apenas na rádio’ Woody Howse (K7EDH )

‘We are there in more ways than just radio’

The Mercer Island Reporter carries an article about the Mercer Island Radio
Operators (MIRO)

Since 2013, *Woody Howse K7EDH* has been the chairman of the devoted and
diligent 94-person group, which was founded by former Island public safety
director Ron Elsoe and Bob Farmer.

“I don’t think any other small city in the region has such a dedicated crew
of radio operators. If and when cell coverage is lost during a major
emergency event, this will be an incredible asset,� said Jennifer Franklin,
Mercer Island Police Department emergency preparedness officer.

The group’s net is conducted on the MIRO VHF repeater frequency of 147.160
MHz positive offset tone 146.2 Hz; on the UHF repeater, frequency is
440.150 MHz positive offset tone 103.5. MIRO works out of its radio room on
the lower level of city hall, has a backup radio room in the Community
Event Center at Mercerview and can utilize VHF and UHF voice radios at the
north and south fire stations. A shared communication tower at the water
reservoir — on the highest point on the Island — houses its radio repeaters.
