Subject: [ARRL-OK] SATERN Request for Volunteers for Joplin, Missouri
Message-ID: <424444.66203.qm@web35508.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

FROM THE ARRL HQ, 
?
SATERN Request for Volunteers for Joplin, Missouri
?
In accord with our Memorandum of Understanding with The Salvation Army, we are looking for volunteers to aid them in their work in Joplin , Missouri at this time.? There is a specific process to be followed in doing this, so please read this information carefully.
?
The Salvation Army continues to provide food, drink and other items of basic care to survivors and rescue workers in the impacted areas of Joplin , MO. ? While cell phone coverage is no longer much of a problem in Joplin , amateur radio continues to be important in certain operations such as those of the Salvation Army where the ability for several persons to hear what is going on at the same time is an asset.?? 
?
As a SATERN (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network) operator, if deployed, you will be asked to go out on Salvation Army vehicles into the areas impacted by the Joplin tornado to supply logistical support.? The Salvation Army vehicles supply basic human needs (particularly food and drink) and you will play a big part in the operation.? You will relay information as to inventory, requests for food and drink, maintenance problems that develop, etc.?? It may surprise you, but at certain periods of the day the radio traffic has been almost constant.? The Salvation Army Disaster Response Operations are now running from 7 a.m. to as late as 9 p.m.? 
?
DO NOT SELF_DEPLOY!
?
Wait to be contacted for possible deployment and assignment.
The qualifications for being assigned are:
?????? Technician or higher Amateur Radio license.
?????? Good health ? you will encounter 100 degree heat, exertion and long hours.? You need to be in good shape!
?????? Ability to take on a 3 to 5 day deployment in the field.
?????? Have an HT and a mobile (VHF/UHF) radio ? also having APRS is a big plus.
?????? Experience with disaster responses.? ARES leadership experience a plus.
?????? NIMS/ICS training with a minimum of IS-100, IS-200 completed.
?
The process to volunteer is:
?
1.? Send an email to>> ?emergency at arrl.org
??????????? Include name, call, contact information (phone & email), location 
and specific information on how you meet each of the criteria above
?
2.? Your information will be checked against the current needs
?
3.? If cleared, your contact information will be sent to our liaison with SATERN field leadership.
?
4.? If assigned, you will be contacted by SATERN directly and given further instructions.
?
The Salvation Army will try to supply you with some type of lodging, if available.? If deployed, you should consider bringing a sleeping bag or make other sleeping arrangements should you need to be housed at the Salvation Army.? 
?
SATERN operations in Joplin are being held on the 147.00 (positive offset) repeater.? If you are deployed, you will need at minimum a 2-meter handheld radio with a spare battery pack (or cigarette lighter adapter) and a magnetic mount antenna.? Due to some communications problems experienced on 2-meters within the impacted area, a 2-meter mobile radio with magnetic mount antenna would be desirable.? Additional information will be furnished to you. 
?
No reimbursement for travel or any other expenses has been authorized at this time. Therefore, I would recommend that you record your mileage and save your receipts.? You may be able to deduct your mileage from your taxes (consult your tax preparer). The Salvation Army will of course provide you food and drink while on duty.???

SATERN Thanks Amateurs for Responding to Call for Assistance, All Slots Filled
06/06/2011 from ARRL.org
?
In response to the EF5 tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri last month, the Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) -- through the ARRL -- requested volunteers to help support their mission to supply logistical and communications support. More than 50 hams responded to the request, and as of Monday, June 6, all personnel needs have been met. Those amateurs who have already been assigned a slot should maintain contact with SATERN leaders, but no more new volunteers are needed. Both the ARRL and SATERN greatly appreciate the response from the amateur community.

Joe N5TEX did a nice job as Net Contro for this Sunday's ARES HF netl.? There were 28 check ins.? Poor conditions on 80 meters, and 40 meters faded right at net start time... but with the help from several relays the net went well.

We need to get more operators from counties to checking in - The ARES HF net every Sunday at 2130UTC on 7.260 MHz (alt freq 3.900 MHz)+/- QRM

Where will you be going out to a Field Day site?
?
Do you plan to visit/operate at?more than one site?

ARRL Field Day site locator page
http://www.arrl.org/field-day-locator
?
Field Day is a great way to practice those Emergency Communications skills (EmComm).??
?
I don't mean?the eating of hotdogs, laughing and having a good time with HAM friends and spending hours of "CQ FIELD DAY - CQ FIELD DAY"...
?
I'm?speaking of?the setting up Amateur?Radio stations and antenna systems,?in less than ideal conditions using off the grid, back up or emergency power... what a fun way to practice for "When all else fails".
?
Will you?use Field Day as a way practice setting up an NVIS "Cloud Burner" HF antenna?? http://www.vcars.org/tech/NVIS.html

Share you plans!

	National Weather Service Update Memorandum of Understanding:
Message-ID: <1308675553.42533.YahooMailClassic@web35505.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

ARRL, National Weather Service Update Memorandum of Understanding
06/21/2011? www.ARRL.org
?
The National Weather Service (NWS) has updated its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the American Radio Relay League, Inc (ARRL)?(scroll below to access a link to the document). The updated MoU serves ?as a framework within which volunteers of the ARRL may coordinate their services, facilities and equipment with the NWS in support of nationwide, state and local early weather warning and emergency communications function.? In May, ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, signed on behalf of the ARRL, and in June, NWS Office of Climate, Water and Weather Services? Director Dave Caldwell signed on behalf of the NWS. The ARRL and the NWS have had a formal working arrangement since 1986.
?
?
The NWS, in the MoU, acknowledges that Amateur Radio operators can be of valuable assistance in early severe weather warning and tornado spotting. Through its SKYWARN program, the NWS recognizes that Amateur Radio operators have assisted as communicators and weather spotters since the program began in the late 1960s. ?In areas where tornadoes and other severe weather have been known to threaten, the NWS recruits volunteers and trains them in proper weather spotting procedures,? the MoU states. ?These dedicated citizens help keep their local community safe by conveying severe weather reports to their local NWS forecast office. SKYWARN spotters are integral to the success of our nation?s severe weather warning system.?
?
?
?All the National Weather Service personnel I?ve met throughout the country have told me how much they respect and depend on the Amateur Radio SKYWARN volunteers in their forecast areas,? Craigie said. ?This year?s weather disasters underscore the importance of amateurs becoming trained severe weather spotters and participating in SKYWARN. It?s a pleasure for me to work with the National Weather Service, both as an ARRL official and as a local SKYWARN volunteer.?
?
?
Through the MoU, the ARRL will encourage its Field Organization, including ARES?, to ?contact and cooperate with National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologists for the purpose of establishing organized SKYWARN networks with radio amateurs serving as communicators and spotters.? The ARRL will also encourage its Section management teams ?to provide specialized communications and observation support on an as-needed basis for NWS offices in other weather emergencies, such as hurricanes, snow and heavy rain storms, and other severe weather situations.? In turn, the NWS will work with ARRL Section ARES? volunteers to establish SKYWARN networks, and/or other weather emergency and alert systems.
?
?
?The relationship between the National Weather Service and the ARRL has been a model partnership for many years,? said ARRL Emergency Preparedness Manager Mike Corey, W5MPC. ?The renewal of this MoU emphasizes the value of Amateur Radio to the NWS mission.?

Hi there folks,

Well the move is almost complete......we are in Perry and have about 75% of the boxes emptied......we still have to make one more load in the pickup to get the stuff that just wouldn't fit in the u-haul.  Even though I have the shack about half set up, it will be a few weeks before I can get the new antenna up.  I do want to give all of you the new email address

n0irw at suddenlink.net

the phone is still the same and the new mailing address is as follows

1405 N. 7th
Perry, OK 73077

as usual, contact me if you need anything.......I will be making some field day stops around the northeast quadrant of the state along with the OKC area on Saturday.  Some others of the section cabinet will try to make it around to other Field Day sites.  I hope everyone has a great and safe Field Day!!

73,

LINCOLN, Nebraska?- When 23,000 people in Lincoln lost their digital phone service on the morning of June 22, local Amateur Radio operators were called in to help provide local residents with a connection to the 911 dispatchers. According to ARRL Nebraska Section Manager Art Zygielbaum, K0AIZ, those trying to call 911 via the digital phone system to report emergencies were met with a recording that said "Due to network difficulties, your call cannot go through."
? 
"Lancaster County [Nebraska] Emergency Manager Doug Ahlberg activated ARES? because Time Warner Cable lost a significant portion of its digital phone service," Zygielbaum explained. "More than 30 ARES? members were deployed along major roads throughout Lincoln and at major intersections to help people who might need emergency services. The outage lasted close to 12 hours." According to the Lincoln Journal Star, the digital phone service was working early Wednesday evening on a "rolling restoration" of 911 service. Time Warner said earlier its 10-digit calling issues were fixed. 
? 
This is the second time in 16 months that radio amateurs have been asked to provide support due to 911 service disruptions in Nebraska. In April 2010, almost 40,000 people -- including Lincoln's government, business and emergency centers -- found out that they had no landline telephone service, as well as spotty cell phone coverage, thanks to an equipment malfunction at a Lincoln switching facility owned by Windstream Communications. According to news reports, residents of 12 counties were unable to contact 911 and dispatch centers used local radio amateurs to help provide communications support.

Message-ID: <20110626.125756.6361.0@webmail15.vgs.untd.com>

Simple construction - yes
simple setup - yes
effective antenna - transmitted equally poorly in all directions - it could hear better than a dipole but had to switch to the dipole to transmit

had to hear a S9+ signal for them to hear us just above the noise level - couldn't be heard in a pileup but could with the 40m dipole on 20 & 15 @ 15'

Used 16g stranded insulated wire to and built specs and had the 25' legs running N & S

now to find another use for 126' of wire

Did anyone else try this antenna with any luck?

Every Sunday the ARES-OK HF net is held at 2130Hrs UTC and depending on band conditions the net is held on either frequency of 7.260 MHz or 3.900 MHz.
?
Each week during the net several stations come booming in are always loud and clear.? One of the cleanest and clearest such station belongs to Nelson WB5ONA of Stillwater, OK.
?
One of the best ways to learn ?how to? in amateur radio is ask another amateur how he or she is doing it. What did they do to build something, or connect their equipment. 
?
So I asked him? How is your station set up? What radio are you using? Do you use an amp? If so which?? What antenna are you using? 
?
Below is the e-mail Nelson WB5ONA sent back to me just full of great info. His secret, a good radio, no amp, basic tuner, and home brew NVIS type antenna.
?
I hope you enjoy and find the information from Nelson WB5ONA as useful as I did. My thanks, Nelson, for giving me permission to share his e-mail with all of you.
?
73 Mark Conklin N7XYO ?
?
?
From Nelson WB5ONA:
?
?
I use an ICOM 7000 usually running 100 watts.? I use the stock hand-held mike but with the AB5N upgrade.? The upgrade makes a marked improvement in audio and output.? I highly recommend the upgrade. (www.7000mic.com)? 
?
I do not use an amplifier.
?
My antenna is an inverted ?V? with two 63-ft legs of woven copper.? The feed line is Radio Shack TV lead-in (not window line).? At present, the lead is around 100 feet, more than enough to reach my equipment.? The extra length is randomly tossed into a flower bed.? Coiling introduces SWR problems. Once the antenna is supported as I hope at a later date, the lead may be trimmed.
?
I use an MFJ-969 tuner.? This tuner has a built-in 4:1 balun and balanced-line posts with one post shorted as described in the operating manual.? Using this or similar tuners with the described antenna enables 80- to 6-meter operation.? A 1:1 SWR is possible on each band, however, not throughout each band.? 
?
Contrary to common mind-set that feed lines must be coaxial, twin lead does work very well and, I believe, delivers more RF to the antenna than would an equal length of coax.? 
?
The center of my antenna is up about 35 ft and is supported above the house eave with 15 ft of 2-inch diameter schedule 40 PVC pipe.? PVC eliminates any twin lead/metal interactions.? On a tower, twin-lead must be stood off with non-conducting material from any metal by at least 3 times the lead width.
?
The PVC pipe I use is topped with a tee. The twin-lead is taped to the outside of the pipe and enters a slot cut in the side of the tee.? Eye-hole lugs are soldered to the antenna legs and twin leads and attached together via small bolts extending through the tee wall near each end of the tee.? The connections are inside the ends of the tee.? So, far, this connection technique eliminated breakages I was plagued with when connecting in other ways. 
?
The free antenna ends are about 20 feet above the ground and are supported using 2, 3/4 x 2 inch strips of PlexiGlass as insulators with 1/8th inch holes drilled at each narrow end of each strip.? The antenna ends are looped through an insulator hole, wrapped and soldered to the leg end.? Trimmer (weed eater) cord is used to support the ends of the antenna.? Green trimmer cord blends into sky and tree colors and is a longer lasting alternative to nylon.? I?ve used trimmer cord for years and have never had one break or in need of replacement.? The trimmer cord was left long enough to toss the loose end over a branch for hoisting the antenna legs. To get the cord over the branch, I attach a vise-grip pliers to the end of the cord and hope for a lucky toss. The support cord is tied within ground reach. The legs are not drawn tight to prevent bending the center PVC support.? The resulting inverted ?V? is more like a slightly swooping W.? The
 ?V? angle between the legs is kept between 90 and 120 degrees.
?
A good ground, as with any antenna system is a definite must.? 
?
I do get some stray RF at times in computer speakers and on some TVs.? Careful tuning and a good ground on all equipment reduces or eliminates this problem.? The RFI problems also vary by operating band.
?
This is a great multi-band antenna.? It?s very portable and handy for special event and field day operations with appropriate center and support.? It is also great as a fixed antenna as I usually have good reports from stateside and DX stations.? I?m often surprised and pleased when I manage to come out on top in a pileup.
?
73s,
?

BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) ? Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is cutting gas prices by 10 cents a gallon for three months.
?
The world's biggest retailer says customers visiting participating Murphy USA and Walmart gas stations from Wednesday through Sept. 30 will receive the discount on all fuel, gas and diesel purchases when they use a reloadable Walmart gift card, Walmart MoneyCard or a Walmart credit card.
?
Gas prices neared $4 a gallon in late April and early May, but have since fallen to an average of $3.36 per gallon in the Tulsa area.

Wal-Mart has offered a 3 cent/gallon discount for many years
when you purchase with one of those cards. It has amounted to
less than a 1% discount since fuel prices went over $3/gallon.
The new 10 cent discount amounts to approximately a 3%
discount with current gasoline prices; less than that for
Diesel fuel.

If you already HAVE one of those cards and W-M is on your normal
travel route, it's probably okay. You still need to consider the
fuel cost per mile on your vehicle to decide whether you will
actually save ANY money by going out of your way to "save" money.

Not to mention the hassle of having to go inside and stand in line just to put money on the card, when if you aren't already going in, you can just pay at the pump with your regular debit or credit card.  My time is worth a lot more than the 10?/gallon.
