Greetings and salutations
from the Northeast corner of the Buckeye State where the temperature is
currently 41 degrees and sunny.
Just a friendly reminder about the Introduction to Emergency Communications Class (ARRL EC-001) starting in March at the Center of Hope in Ravenna, Ohio. It's an excellent program with great instructors. I highly recommend it. The training is free but there is a $15.00 fee for the exam. Contact DEC Jim KC8PD at aylwardjim@aol.com to sign up. See the attached announcement for details.
I will be officiating an ARES
Forum at the Mansfield Hamfest on February 16th at 9AM at the Richland County
Fairgrounds. Check out their website http://hamfest.w8we.org/
for details.
The
ARES Forum at Dayton Hamvention is unofficially scheduled for Sunday, May 18th
from 10:30AM to 11:30AM in Room 3.
ARES forums are for all past,
present, and future volunteers interested in emergency, disaster, digital, and
public service communications. All are welcome.
Also a reminder to all ARES
volunteers...please contact your Emergency Coordinator to verify your contact
information, if not done so already. I cannot stress how important this
is. Emergencies and disasters are few and far between. Waiting for
them to happen only to find out your phone number is not correct on the roster
is the wrong time and wrong attitude. Please take a few moment to verify
your contact information is correct.
Hats off to the 11 amateur
radio volunteers who are staffing the 10' x 20' ham radio booth at the
Cleveland Outdoor Adventure Show from January 16th through the 19th at the IX
Center adjacent to Hopkins International Airport.
That's
all I have for this week. Thank you for everything you do for amateur
radio. Have a nice weekend.
