This is the ARES station Gord Snarr, VE4GLS and myself (Paula Ehn, VE4MHZ) set up and ran from the second story of the Driftwood Inn usually known as the Morris General Hospital. As you can see we were assigned the nursery. We were running on the Elm Creek repeater, VE4SJA, at a frequency of 145.150 MHz with negative offset as well as 3.743 MHz.
This is the picture of the inside of the dyke closing off highway 75 at the north end of Morris. The water is within 3 feet of the top on the other side. Also you can see the top of the highway dividing sign poking through the dyke with itsyellow beacon still flashing despite being built into the dyke.
This is the railway crossing over highway 23 west of Morris and the picture is taken from the top of the dyke. In the background you can see hog barns that have been taken by the Red Sea.
