HF antenna at troop G?

[jsjazz]

I noticed what looked like a HF dipole on the roof of troop G (you can see it from 95) any idea what they would use this for? Maybe emerg management or Nat. Guard?

CT DEMHS Region 1 has their EOC in Troop G. They have an amateur radio component with the Greater Bridgeport Amateur Radio Club: http://www.gbarc.net/leveltwo/region1_eoc.htm

Things have changed!

Things have changed! The man responsible for allowing GBARC members into the Troop G EOC is Rich Fournier who has since retired! See the link below!

Rich is an AWESOME individual. Unfortunately for GBARC, the state EMD for region-1 that took over after Rich, was not a fan of having GBARC, ( who is a non ARES associated club), there. He is a big ARES fan. The antennas are pretty much the same ones that are installed in all the 5 state regional EOCs. I do NOT believe, unless something has changed, that GBARC or ANY other club mans that EOC. I don't want to get into an ARES discussion, but needless to say, they are no longer involved with the Region-1 EOC or Derby OEM last I checked. They do help out in the BPT. EOC from what I understand! I used to belong to GBARC. A large portion of the photo shots you see on their website were taken by me! I left for very personal reasons.
