EMO ARES is a member group of Ontario ARES which is dedicated to providing an auxiliary emergency communications network utilizing a wide range of telecommunications equipment and technology, and through objective planning of these resources to deliver a quality communications system that meets the needs of our served clients at the Municipal and Provincial Government levels in the interest of Public Safety and Service. 

The Procom Net meets every Thursday evening at 8:00 pm (20:00 hrs) using Experimental IRLP Reflector: 0040

In the event of a declared emergency this network would be used to pass emergency traffic between Provincial and Municipal Emergency Operations Centres as well as local ARES Groups, providing coverage of all Ontario Districts. The primary HF emergency traffic frequencies are 7.153Mhz. and 3.742Mhz. 

The following procedure outlines the changes required to a stock IRLP node to enable connectivity to Experimental IRLP Reflectors:

Manual Method

Login to the IRLP node as user 'root' 
cd /home/irlp/custom 
Edit the environment file using an editor such as vi, pico, nano, etc... 
Add the following line 
export ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_NODES=YES

Save the modified environment file 
While in the /home/irlp/custom directory restart the IRLP node with the following command: 
./rc.irlp

Test out the changes by connecting to the IRLP Reflector '0040' 
Disconnect with the usual '73' 
Remember to chek-in to the PROCOM Net on reflector 0040 on Thursday evening at 8:00PM 
 

Automated Method

Download the update script here 
Copy to your IRLP node into the /tmp folder 
Execute the script with ./EXPsetup.sh 
Follow steps 7, 8, and 9 as in the manual process. 
 

All stations are welcome and encouraged to join us on the network.
