There is a reason why this looks like "MISSION CONTROL" These guys were the Red Cross Shelter, Red Cross Middletown, Red Cross Hamilton, Red Cross Formal Traffic, Ohio EMA-EOC Columbus, Butler County EMA and Logan County EMA passing a lot of traffic on all three Tactical Nets!
These were the guys that tossed in pre-planed problems, generated tons of noise in the ARECC, and put the ARECC Net Managers nerves on edge.
