Parade Help needed Tomorrow

Ares and WillComm members and amateur radio operators,

BARS has asked us for assistance to help in the Pathway Parade tomorrow.
This is not a ARES ran event, but this is a great exercise from a last
minute, I need help from another.  Just as anytime an ARES would be asked
in a disaster or help from a county or local municipality with a shorter
time frame or period of notification.

If one was to look at what you would be learning as a Practical exercise.
One would be from a command structure of net control and treated as a
evacuated route with ARES helping to assist in keeping traffic off path of
directed flow of a route until told to release that traffic into the flow
after the parade.

Any event can be a creative and yet learning experience. Listening to
directions with a large volume of noise around is a learning experience in
itself.

If your available to help at this event. follow the contact information
below.

I will be out there helping and using for myself as a practice exercise
also and hope to see ARES helping also, as we start practical training in
different environments that amateur radio is used in.

Remember. Amateur radio is used in all different areas of helping by
volunteering to support the communities. But also is a great way to get
used to protocols and such and learn little things in that environment such
as, watching kids around the area who are chasing the candy and could get
hit by a vehicle. Happens more that one thinks in parades.

Come out and help and have some fun,

Jerry Watts-K9LOT

SATERN IS LOOKING TO EXPAND IN THE HEARTLAND 

The Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN) is looking to
expand its 
Amateur Radio capability in the Heartland Division.  According to Major Bill
Heaver K8EDS "The Salvation Army - Emergency Disaster Services has
recognized the need to expand our relationship with the Amateur Radio
community.  Utilizing the SATERN program for auxiliary communications is
vital as we respond to community and regional disasters."   We have a great
number of operators involved with our National HF nets.  However, we need
Amateur Radio operators who are willing to be "boots on the ground"
volunteers.  Individuals who are willing and able to provide communications
from Incident Command Centers, mobile canteens, and act as shadows to
command personnel.  Those interested in applying may do so online:
<http://www.disaster.salvationarmyusa.org/>
http://www.disaster.salvationarmyusa.org or call our Emergency Disaster
Services department at (309) 655-7220, Ext. 200. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Message-ID: <3849da42-21ac-dd18-6d77-fcea0180acb9@comcast.net>

Hello, everyone.  Please be on the lookout for K9RSR on Saturday,
September 17 as we bring ham radio to about 100 Webelos Scouts at their
camp in Morris.  We will operate SSB on 80 through 10 Meters.

World Scouting Frequencies are 3940, 7190, 14290, 18140, 21360, 24690,
and 28390 kHz.  Given propagation of late, look for us on 80, 40 or 20. 
We have a folded dipole up 80 feet, so we should have good coverage.

If you can reach any of the Morris repeaters, we monitor 147.270 (PL
107.2) and 442.325 (PL 114.8).

Scouts can talk or use computers to communicate.

Unlike other Scout Jamborees, this one is open to all Scouts.  It
includes Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Ventures, Explorers and Sea Scouts.

*On The Air on October 15th from Shorewood, Illinois*

Rainbow Council's Radio Scouting Committee will have several stations on
the air.  Scouts from Will and surrounding counties can participate all
day on October 15, 2016.  The stations will be on the air from 9:00 AM
