Subject: [CALV-ARES] From CALV EC: CALV ARES Registration - Action Required


TO:  ALL CALV STATIONS

DATE:  March 10, 2012

 

As everyone has noticed the CALV ARES group has been hibernating since supporting Cystic Fibrosis Cycle Event and SET 2010.  That does not mean we have been sleeping.  Matter-of-fact, a lot of exciting behind the scenes activities has been occurring to make our ARES programs more rewarding.  Here is some of what has been accomplished recently;


·       Wayne Rogers/N1WR has updated the Calvert County ARES/RACES Plan and The ARES/RACES Strategic Plan

 

·       Wanda Montgomery/KA3AHI has been appointed to Assistant Section Manager.  As ASM she will be working with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, MEMA and in the counties to bring a coordination effort for interoperability among health departments and hospitals.

 

§  Wanda and her husband Jim/WB3KAS will be visiting the two hospitals in Region V to get them onboard.  She will be meeting with CMH, CCHD and EOC Emergency Manager the week of March 11.

 

·       Steve/N3IDX is currently working getting his WinLink station operating this weekend.

o   CALV ARES Stations will then be able to connect via VHF through the N3IDX-10 station.

 

As an ARES group with rusty members and new members we need some classroom and exercise training to get everyone up to expectations.  We really can use some help with this and the best source is from you!  If you have ideas on what you would like to learn through CALV ARES please let someone on the CALV Planning Committee know.  We can reserve a room to teach, demonstrate or make projects of any topic of your choices.  Below is a list of some ideas we have heard;


·       What is ARES?  How is ARES different from CARA or RACES?

·       Training Nets over the 146.985/R.  How often, what day and what time should our ARES Nets occur?

·       What is the Calvert ARES/RACES Operation Plan?

·       What is the Calvert ARES Strategic Plan?

·       What is the M-DC Section Emergency Response Plan?

·       Having actual exercises - using our radios

·       Traffic Handling Net training > there is a Basic Traffic Handling Instructions (Voice) on Section Manager's homepage > http://www.arrl-mdc.net for anyone wanting to get a head start.

·       WinLink training

·       Making cables for TNC's to 2M radios.

·       More Public Service events,

 

The CALV ARES Planning Committee consists of the following people;

·      ARES Second Quarter Health Care Coalition Drill on Monday, April 2, 2012.
