We volunteered and set up our equipment at 13 different locations including Fire Departments, Sheriff's Office, Emergency Operations Center (EOC),EMA Station 720, and Memorial Hospital in Union County to support our community for the eclipse. Net control stations ran a net on the 2m repeater from 9am-1pm, then 4pm-5pm at the top of the hour and monitored the repeater for emergency traffic the entire time between 9am and 5pm. Several other stations checked into the net and provided situational awareness information such as observed traffic conditions. We want to thank everyone that was able to help our community on the day of the eclipse and everyone that spent a lot of hours planning for it to keep our community safe. The planning paid off, there wasn't any major incidents other than traffic congestion and some minor motor vehicle accidents.
