I am pleased to announce that Governor Mitt Romney has declared June 28,
2003 "Amateur Radio Day" in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Governor
Romney granted the proclamation today, in recognition of the more than
13,000 Massachusetts "Communications Volunteers" that give of their time
and expertise in disaster situations and during public service events,
statewide. Phil Temples - K9HI, asked that we request this proclamation
of the Governor to coincide with Field Day 2003, our annual emergency
preparedness exercise.

I'd like to thank Phil for his encouragement and advice, Mike Neilsen -
W1MPN for his input and data, Shawn O'Donnell - K3HI for his experience
with Government Relations and Tom Kinahan - N1CPE for providing a means
to get the information into the Governor's Office. We'd also like to
sincerely thank Peter Judge, M.E.M.A. Public Information Officer, for
delivering the request and press releases to the State House and Senator
Cheryl Jacques for helping to push this proclamation through the proper
channels. Congratulations to all those Massachusetts "Hams" that have
worked very hard to give us the reputation that made this proclamation a
reality. Enjoy your Field Day with a deserved sense of accomplishment!

Thanks and 73,

Jim Duarte - N1IV
