Thank goodness the EMP in our county recognized the value of amateur radio at his EOC. HE found the GRANT MONEY to fund an HF/VHF station and as far as maintaining the radio room his dictum is "whatever makes you happy, makes me happy." That is, tell me what you need and I'll find a way to get it.

I spent some time(and my OWN) money having several of these items fabricated for our ARES Team. I decided to make the information available to ANYONE who was interested in ARES-RACES ID products. FYI, according to Jim, the magnetic vehicle signs can be REVISED for your particular Team.

If these aren't inspectedperiodically, the "throw-down" approach is as susceptible as permanentlyinstalled stations. What ever approach an ARES or RACES group uses, it'scritical that some one takes on the responsibility of regular inspection ofany equipment permanently installed for use by AR. Besides the obviousneed, it will go a long way to demonstrate your groups commitment and desireto work in a professional manner. A locking file cabinet goes a long way ofpreserving original manuals after copying, the personate pages to be placedat operating positions.--73Doug, [email protected] Original Message -----From: "Jerry Reimer" To: Cc: Sent: Friday, July 19, 2002 3:39 PMSubject: [Ares-races] Re: ARES-RACES digest, Vol 1 #43 - 7 msgs:: Generally, I am opposed to government purchased amateur radio equipment.My opposition is because it gets purchased, installed, and briefly used.Following an initial period, first the manuals get lost, then the equipmentstops working, and no one seems to ever get around to getting it repaired.When the hams show up to use it, it doesn't work.:: In my experience, it is much better for individual hams to bring in theirown gear for several reasons. First, they are very familiar with it.Second, it probably works, because it gets used very often, :: If they must, let government spend our tax money on their dedicated,proprietary trunking systems.
