[CTSARA] PLEASE READ: City Support

[John Sabini Jr.]

I can help but when the storm gets to the point that travel starts to become dangerous I will have to leave and head My job is on Hamilton Av. Hopefully after 3:00 pm Sunday and all day Monday I will be free to help!

I can use my radio at work.

> The SARA board, led by our President, has made tremendous strides working
> with the city. This time last year they didn't even care who we were, and
> today they are requesting our assistance. You may be asking yourself, why
> are we trying so hard.

> Nearly every club (in the US) has an affiliation with an official agency
> of the area they are located. This could be for many reasons, but the two
> I think of are:
>
> 1) Amateur Radio easily supports communications in abnormal situations
> (disasters, parades, marathons, anything that the agency/area is not
> normally equipped to support).
> 2) Being friendly with the agency often results in good repeater placement.
>
> It's the second item I want to quickly address. Earlier this week, the
> question was asked, "How long will the repeater be up should it lose
> power?" And the answer was "It is on UPS and generator and it will remain
> up."
>
> This is because the city has provided the club with space in their radio
> building at Sterling Farms Golf Course, as well as valuable space on the
> antenna at the same location, both AT NO CHARGE. Further, through these
> discussions, we have secured a larger, more interesting meeting space for
> our monthly meetings, which you will see on Thursday.
>
> I know people are worried about family and property; trust me I
> understand. However, if you are in a situation where you /can/ support
> the club tonight through tomorrow, it would be very appreciated. If you
> are worried about what to do or are uncomfortable, I encourage you to
> reach out to Jon P (WB2RYV) and talk with him.
>
> Folks, we are 80 members strong. I find it hard to believe that we do not
> have four people willing to provide this needed public service.
>
> Thank you for reading this. Be safe this weekend.
