At the time of this writing, we're 19 hours 28 minutes
until the ARRL Ohio Section Statewide Simulated Emergency Test. I wish everyone the best of luck in the
Statewide SET. I hope your goals are
met, objectives are achieved, basics are reviewed, skills are learned, and most
of all I hope you have some fun. Please
note my contact information is correct on the Ohio Section roster < hint
>.
I am on staff for a boy scout event this weekend at Camp
Stambaugh in Canfield, OH (Mahoning County).
However, I brought my go box and HF equipment. I am planning to participate locally in the
Statewide Simulated Emergency Test and monitor HF frequencies.
I would also like to say best of luck to all the amateur
radio volunteers who will be assisting in the Northern Ohio Marathon on Sunday,
10/13/2013.
This is Lake County's first marathon!
The ARRL Ohio Section March ARES Leadership Meeting is
scheduled for Saturday, March 15th from 10AM to 3PM at the State of Ohio
Emergency Operations Center in Columbus, Ohio.
Although this meeting is open to ARES volunteers, it's primarily for:
Assistant Section Emergency Coordinators District
Emergency Coordinators Assistant District Emergency Coordinators Emergency
Coordinators Assistant Emergency Coordinators Official Emergency Stations
We're up to 85 registered (including myself) for the All
Ohio ARES Conference on Saturday, November 9th at the Ohio Fire Academy in
Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Plan of the Day
(agenda) will be posted next week on the ARES page on the Ohio Section website www.arrl-ohio.org.
Words of encouragement...
Do your best in the SET on Saturday. Train how you practice. Practice how you train. Work together as a team. Don't be afraid to ask questions.
It's ok to make mistakes. It's better to make mistakes now than in an
actual emergency or disaster. Good luck
to everyone.
That's all for this week.
I thank you for everything you do for amateur radio.
