"JerseySTEM is a network co-op of parents, professionals, students and educators whose goal is to promote excellence in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math ("STEM") education." Website: http://www.jerseystem.org/ I have had an initial conversation with a member of the organization. At this point they don't have any requirements other than the desire to add an Amateur Radio program to their portfolio.

Testing tones and combinations has been a problem since repeaters began using control codes (before the days of asterisk). I was under the impression that some measures were in-place as a result of earlier hack attempts. I may have misread those earlier messages where you and Paul implemented some measures within the last year. In any event It's good operating practice that should be second nature to all users. I when hearing someone sending tones without identifying to throw my call out there to see if they need assistance. Most of the time the person will identify themselves or just go away. That approach sound more proactive than putting the repeater in sleep mode. 73, Drew, W2OU -----Original Message----- From: lengriff at optimum.net [mailto:lengriff at optimum.net] Sent: Saturday, September 2, 2017 8:59 AM To: etslist at mailman.qth.net Cc: E Drew Moore (w2oudrew at gmail.com) ; KB2LLM Richard Sandy (KB2LLM at juno.com) ; kd2bxf_kev at geezerlab.com; Pete Fierro (overthetop52 at yahoo.com) ; W2NNN Fred (W2NNN1 at gmail.com) ; WALTER FROEHLICH (W2WIQ at VERIZON.NET) Subject: TOUCH-TONES ON K2ETS Members; I monitor the K2ETS repeaters quite often, and have observed an operating practice that MUST be corrected.

Catastrophic Response Mode. We will remain in continuous operation until further notice. The Hurricane Watch Net ceased nighttime operations on 7.268 MHz at 6:00 AM EDT 1000 UTC. Propagation went away shortly after midnight EDT and never returned. Members of HWN monitored the frequency listening for anyone needing help as well as reading the latest position reports of Hurricanes Irma, Jos?, and Katia. Daytime operations will resume on 14.325.00 MHz at 7:00 AM EDT - 1100 UTC. As a reminder, our Net will remain in continuous operation until further notice. Daytime operations on 14.325 MHz will begin at 7:00 AM EDT ? 1100 UTC each day continuing for as long as propagation allows. Nighttime operations will be on 7.268 MHz starting at 6:00 PM EDT ? 2200 UTC and continue overnight. If propagation dictates, we will operate both frequencies at the same time. Note: Operations on 7.268 MHz will pause at 7:30 AM ET, and, if required, resume at approximately 8:30 AM ET. This will allow the Waterway Net to conducts their daily net. Any change in Net Operation plans will be noted here, on our website, the networks of 14.300.00 MHz, and many additional amateur radio networks and media. Overnight, we tracked 3 hurricanes: Irma, Jos?, and Katia. All data from this point forward comes from the 500 AM EDT ? 0900 UTC Advisories. Katia made north of Tecolutla Mexico as a Category 1 Hurricane with maximum sustained wind of 75 mph. As of the 400 AM EDT ? 0900 UTC Advisory, Katia was beginning to stall near the Sierra Madre Mountains. Katia is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 10 to 15 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 25 inches. Jos? is a Category 4 Hurricane with maximum sustained wind of 150 mph (240 km/h) moving to the west-northwest at 13 mph (20 km/h). On the forecast track, the core of Jos? will pass close to or just east of the northern Leeward Islands today. Irma is a powerful and deadly Hurricane. The eye continues to moving over the Camaguey Archipelago of Cuba as a Category 4 Hurricane. Irma has maximum sustained winds of 155 mph (250 km/h), moving to the west-northwest at 12 mph (19km/h). The storm was located about 45 miles (70 km) east of Caibarien Cuba and about 245 miles (395 km) south-southeast of Miami, Florida. Key Messages from the 500 AM EDT ? 0900 UTC Discussion: 1. Irma will continue to bring life-threatening wind, storm surge, and rainfall hazards to portions of the Bahamas and the north coast of Cuba, especially over the adjacent Cuban Keys, through tonight. 2. Irma is expected to make landfall in Florida as an extremely dangerous major hurricane, and will bring life-threatening wind impacts to much of the state regardless of the exact track of the center. 3. There is the danger of life-threatening storm surge inundation in portions of central and southern Florida, including the Florida Keys, during the next 36 hours, where a Storm Surge Warning is in effect. The threat of significant storm surge flooding along the southwest coast of Florida has increased, and 8 to 12 feet of inundation above ground level is possible in this area. This is a life-threatening situation. Everyone in these areas should take all actions to protect life and property from rising water and follow evacuation instructions from local officials. 4. Irma is expected to produce very heavy rain and inland flooding. Total rain accumulations of 8 to 15 inches, with isolated amounts of 20 inches are expected over the Florida Keys and much of the Florida peninsula through Tuesday night. Irma will likely bring periods of heavy rain to much of the Florida Panhandle, Georgia, South Carolina, and western North Carolina early next week, including some mountainous areas which are more prone to flash flooding. All areas seeing heavy rainfall from Irma will experience a risk of flooding and flash flooding. As with any net activation, HWN requests observed ground-truth data from those in the affected area (Wind Speed, Wind Gust, Wind Direction, Barometric Pressure ? if available, Rainfall, Damage, and Storm Surge). Measured weather data is always appreciated but estimated data is accepted. We will also be interested to collect and report significant damage assessment data back to FEMA officials stationed in the National Hurricane Center. In addition to collecting weather data for the forecasters at the National Hurricane Centers and reading the latest advisories, bulletins, and updates, we can also handle any emergency or priority traffic. Additionally, we are available to provide backup communications to official agencies such as Emergency Operations Centers and Red Cross officials in the affected area. On a personal note, I consider landfalling hurricanes to that of a fire. We never know when a fire (landfalling hurricane), or multiple fires will occur. Our members are ready and willing to go to work and do what is necessary to gather reports, disseminate the latest advisories, and handle emergency or priority traffic. I realize our net operations have disrupted normal amateur radio activity on the frequencies of 14.325 MHz and 7.268 MHz, but the fire alarm sounded. I wish to sincerely thank the daily users of these frequencies to allow us to serve our fellow man in a serious time of need. We do pray these storms are over soon as we, members of the Hurricane Watch Net, many who have regular working jobs, have taken time off to assist in Hurricane Weather Emergency. Please bear with us as we continue to help those affected and yet to be affected. We will return these frequencies to normal amateur radio use as soon as this Weather Emergency has passed. Please, keep those who are in the path of these dangerous hurricanes in your thoughts and prayers! As always, we are praying and hoping for the best yet preparing for the worst.

The R&O in PDF format can be found at, https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-17-33A1.pdf . Federal CommunicationsCommission FCC 17-33 apps.fcc.gov Federal CommunicationsCommission FCC 17-33 2 Federal and non-Federal use, limited to oceanographic radars. We also amend Part 90 to provide for licensing of ... Notice of the action appears in today's edition of the Federal Register. Before using either band, stations must notify the Utilities Technology Council (UTC), formerly the Utilities Telecom Council, that they plan to do so, and if UTC does not respond within 30 days, they may commence operation. The website to notify the UTC is, https://utc.org/plc-database-amateur-notification-process/ . Last March 27, the FCC adopted the 2012 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-12) implementation Report and Order (ET Docket 15-99), amending its Amateur Radio rules to - in the FCC's words - "provide for frequency-sharing requirements in the 135.7-137.8 kHz (2200-meter) and 472-479 kHz (630-meter) bands." Section 97.313(g)(2) of those rules requires that, prior to starting operation in either band, radio amateurs must notify UTC that they intend operate by submitting their call signs, intended band(s) of operation, and the coordinates of their antenna's fixed location. The new rules do not permit any mobile operation. "Amateur stations will be permitted to commence operations after a 30-day period, unless UTC notifies the station that its fixed location is located within 1 kilometer of Power Line Carrier (PLC) systems operating on the same or overlapping frequencies," the FCC said. PLC systems are unlicensed. "This notification process will ensure that amateur stations seeking to operate [on 630 or 2200 meters] are located beyond a minimum separation distance from PLC transmission lines, which will help ensure the compatibility and coexistence of amateur and PLC operations, and promote shared use of the bands." The FCC announced that it is making effective immediately the Part 97 rule amendments, Part 97.3, 97.15(c), 97.301(b) through (d), 97.303(g), 97.305(c), and 97.313(k) and (l), which do not require OMB approval.

At the behest of Red Cross, ARRL rallied the US Amateur Radio community to provide up to 25 two-person teams of highly qualified hams. The group?s principal mission will be to move health-and-welfare information from the island back to the US mainland, where that data will be entered in the Red Cross ?Safe & Well? website. The group will deploy the middle of this week and remain on the island for up to 3 weeks. ARRL will equip each two-person team with a modern digital HF transceiver, special software, a dipole antenna, a power supply and all the connecting cables, fitted in a rugged waterproof container. In addition, ARRL is sending a number of small, 2,000-W portable generators as well as solar-powered battery chargers of the variety the US military uses on extended deployments. The hams and their equipment will be sent to Red Cross shelters extending from San Juan to the western end of the island. ?This generous outpouring of response represents the finest qualities of the Amateur Radio community,? ARRL CEO Tom Gallagher, NY2RF, said. ?These individuals are dropping whatever they are doing now, heading off to an extended hardship-duty assignment, and offering their special talents to Americans who have been cut off from their families, living amid widespread destruction and without electrical power since Hurricane Maria struck the Caribbean region last week.? ARRL?s Emergency Preparedness Manager Mike Corey, KI1U, said this was the first time in the nearly 75-year relationship between ARRL and the American Red Cross that such as request for assistance had been made. ?Hurricane Maria has devastated the island?s communications infrastructure,? Corey said. ?Without electricity and telephone, and with most of the cell sites out of service, millions of Americans are cut off from communicating. Shelters are unable to reach local emergency services. And, people cannot check on the welfare of their loved ones. The situation is dire.? How You Can Help In a letter to all ARRL members, ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, asked for contributions to ARRL?s Ham Aid fund. ?Equipment has been flying out the door since Hurricane Harvey struck the US mainland,? he emphasized. ?From meeting requirements in aid of Hurricane Irma victims in the US Virgin Island and Florida, our store of Ham Aid kits has been depleted.? ARRL?s Ham Aid program loans Amateur Radio equipment kits to established Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES?) groups and partner agencies during disaster responses, in order to establish Amateur Radio communication support. Ham Aid is supported by donations from individuals and corporations, including many of our ham radio industry partners. ARRL has previously staged Ham Aid equipment in Texas, and in the last few weeks, ARRL has supplied kits to Florida, the US Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. With our Ham Aid inventory depleted, your donation is needed now. Contributions to Ham Aid are 100% tax deductible. To make a donation online, go to the ARRL donation form and select ?Ham Aid.?
