Delco ARES Members,
Don't forget that the weekly Delco ARES NET is tonight at 7:30pm. Please see the Weekly Net page on the delcoares.net website for more information.
Also, please don't forget to document your NET time in ARES Connect. The website is https://arrl.volunteerhub.com/lp/epa
There is good overview of how to register for ARES Connect and Reporting Time on the Eastern PA Section ARES website. This is available here: https://epa-arrl.org/ares-connect/
I have also created accounts for all of our Delco ARES members so we can use Microsoft Teams. This will allow us to chat/call with the group, schedule meetings and share files. As an added bonus, all website updates are automatically posted to the teams group as well.
All of the login accounts are in the format of CALLSIGN@delcoares.net (for example, mine is W3CTK@delcoares.net )
The Teams web application is at https://teams.microsoft.com/
Before you can login for the first time, you'll need to reset your password at this link here:
https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/
Sorry in advance for the validation characters, that's required by Microsoft. If you are anything like me, it may take a few tries to get this submitted. It will then offer to email or text you a validation code, if these aren't there or are incorrect just let me know and I can update them. Also if it says your account doesn't exist, just contact me with you callsign and I'll get it added.
Once you log in via the web for the first time and have your password set, you can then download the teams app onto your phone or tablet as well.
Downloads are available at: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-teams/download-app
You can also login using these accounts at www.office.com and get to all of the MS office web apps like Outlook, OneNote, Teams, Word, Sharepoint, etc from there.
Let me know if you have any questions or issues. Email me at W3CTK@delcoares.net for any help.
I have setup a recurring Teams Meeting to run concurrently with the NET, so feel free to join in tonight and we can try it out. Just use this link below:

One thing to note, you don't need to be logged into Microsoft Teams to be able to join that meeting using the link above. However, you do need to log in to use any of the other features of Teams like chat/call outside of meetings and more.
Thanks,
Chris Kelleher W3CTK
