Ashtabula County: Had a wonderful month of April here is Ashtabula County! Spring is here and it has ushered in all kinds of fun stuff... from license upgrades to increased attendance at meetings due to lack of snow on the roads! hi hi
Everyone is chomping at the bit for Dayton- which cannot come fast enough! On the 3rd of May we had an event at the Mohican Wilderness camping area near Wooster/Lodi with a combined group of Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. There were about 30 kids involved and just over a dozen parents. After an exciting day of playing radio with 4 Yaesu 897's on the air we had the kids asking all kinds of great qustions, making Q's and yearning to hop on the mic again.
The parents were even more excited! We extended our program by almost 2 hours just so the parents could enjoy a bit more hands o! n time when it came to getting on the air and learning more about the radio s. It was a success to say the least! K8RSO ! was the call sign used for this event.
Cuyahoga County: Relatively light month. One monthly meeting exercising programming HT in the field for different modes and frequency splits in preparation for PSAs. Additional meeting with the Cleveland EMA and associated safety organizations for preparation for the Cleveland Marathon. Finally a new antenna system was installed on the roof of the Cleveland EOC for ARES radios. Two dual band 2M/70cm verticals and one 40M Di-pole antenna were mounted and coax runs were brought into the office used by ARES during EOC activation events.
Geauga County: NONE ***
Lake County: Lake and Geauga ARES Teams combined to provide communications for the first Lake Health 20 mile Drop Run. The event started at the Chardon Village Square. Runners were bussed in from the finish line at Headlands Beach ST. PK. to return under their own run power.
Geauga ARES assumed Command at the starting line with Lake ARES providing overall Net Control from their Comm. Trailer located at Headlands ST. PK. Some 20 Amateurs monitored the runners along the 20 and 10 mile distances. Two Bicycle Mobile units covered the bike trail part of the run along with 3 SAG vehicles on the roads. Other Amateurs were stationed at Aid stations and Water stops. This was a very successful team effort conducted by the Lake and Geauga ARES members.
Eleven members of the Lake County ARES Team provided support and communications for the Mentor M-S walk on Saturday the 26th of April. Approximately 400 walkers took part in the annual event.
Lorain County: No public service or emergency operations were held this month. The man hours reflected in box 10 are strictly for ARES nets.
