I had an opportunity to visit Freedom Park today.  There is now a six-foot
wide macadam bike path that runs around most of the park.  The path runs
around the outside perimeter of the field that we use and runs right behind
the pavilion.  There was no bicycle traffic while we were there.  This may
or may not cause a problem for us on FD, depending on how heavy the usage
is, if any at all.

I think that we'll be fine if we keep clear of the path. I only foresee a
problem if there are cyclists on the path during the picnic hours. I will
continue to monitor the path on weekends.

Does this mean if we put dipoles in the trees, the coax must go over the
path?

NO!  There are other options.  Althought 'flying' the coax above the bike 
path is the most preferred method, other options include: taping the coax 
down, deploying 'caution signs, deploying traffic cones at each cable 
crossing, or blocking off the path completely for 48 hours.

One or more of the above options are utilized whenever Maryland Public 
Television, MPT, deploys one or more cables in pedestrian areas.

As the path is new, its existance is probably not widely known.  I don't see
it as a problem, even if we have to co-exist with a few cyclists.  On the
other hand, there are the infamous youth outlaw biker gangs.  Pre-schoolers
with their souped up Big Wheel trikes that could mean trouble!

There are only two days remaining until the Mid-Atlantic QSO Party at K3PZN!
It is not too late to let us know that you're coming.  You don't even have
to let us know - just show up on Saturday May 8 starting at 12:00pm and
running until the last operator shuts down.  Get warmed up for Field Day,
have some fun, eat some pizza, work some Q's.  Sunday is Mothers' Day -
bring your mother or spouse along for a night out for Mothers' Day.

We need operators and loggers for all of the stations.

Hope to see you there

Dear CCARC Mid-Atlantic QSO Party Enthusiasts;

I am pleased to report that with a generous amount of
guidance from N5LBJ, K3ZE and AK3Z, the club station
is in top notch condition to enter the Mid-Atlantic
QSO Party this weekend.

There are a number of station improvements you may be
interested in hearing about - so here's the ones I've
noticed so far:  

1.  There is an excellent VHF station in place with a
high quality directional antenna.  I believe we can
operate 2, 6 & 440...SSB.  

2.  We now have two complete HF operating positions -
an Icom 756 and Kenwood TS-850SAT.  These are our
club's radios - there's also a Kenwood TS-440SAT that
belongs to the county - however we have use of it.

3.  There is a complete set of 3 networked computers
(2 Windows NT, one 98) that have Writelog contest
logging software available.  These are good windows
workstations with 17 inch montors.  In addition, both
the 850 and 756 have radio control so that the
software knows your band/mode and you can
automatically "pounce" on packet spots.

4.  Both the 756 and 850 have the digital modes
available - and software to control the modes is
loaded on each computer.

5.  Two Heil Proset Plus Headsets are available for
voice communications - with (new) foot switches. 
These new headsets are the industrial strength
versions and have a wide (high fidelity) and narrow
(HC-4 DX) Mic element located on the Mic.  

6.  Dunestar band pass filters are available so we can
run two (or three!) HF stations simultaneously without
a high degree of inter-station interference.  You'll
see this in action at the MAQP this weekend.

There are rumors about pizza, homemade foot and LOTS
of good drinks at the club station this weekend. 

If you haven't already told  us, please let Al or me
know if you plan to attend this weekend's event.

73,

Jim  WX3B

We're ready for the M-A QSO Party!

Last night, Jim WX3B put the final touches on the contest software and 
the networking of the three club station computers.  The two HF 
positions each have a Heil Proset Plus for the talker and a bridged 
headset for the logger.  Dune Star filters for have been installed and 
tested and can be changed out quickly to other bands.  Chuck N3TOT will 
be bringing the beverages, Shirley KB3KYJ the gumbo, and we will order 
up a half ton of pizza around 6:00 or 7:00pm.

Remember: it's your club station.  Come out and enjoy it.

If you weren't at the Mid-Atlantic QSO Party at K3PZN lst Saturday, you
missed a good time, good fun, good Cajun gumbo, and good pizza.  The MAQP
was also a fun contest to work.  Very laid back and casual.  Those that were
there: AK3Z, K1RH, N3NNF, KB3KYJ, N3SB, K3KWO, N3TOT, N3MNM (and son Zack),
N5LBJ (and his father, "Pops"), W3RAR, WX3B (and son Alex), and I hope that
I didn't miss anyone.

Special thanks to AK3Z for providing the pizza and the Icom IC-775, N3TOT
for the beverages, KB3KYJ for the gumbo, and WX3B for spending many hours
before hand getting the logging program up and running like a Swiss watch.

The members who attended made up only 10% of the club's total membership.  I
can't understand why more members don't show up at these evens at the club
station.  You guys all voted to equip the club station, why don't you use
it.  And all you Techs who are just itching to get on the HF bands, the club
station a way that you can work that DX or other states.  Oh, well, as long
as you guys are paying for it, I'll darn sure use it if y'all won't!

Message-ID: <Sea2-F26bzxNvXojfKn00035ddb@hotmail.com>

Greetings all,

I just thought I'd take a minute to let you know how the FD 2004 menu is 
shaping up.  As you know from previous messages, I have planned for FD 
participants to enjoy four (4) meals this year.

The Saturday Evening Dinner Banquet will consist of: hot dogs, grilled 
teriyaki chicken breasts and assorted cold beverages.

The Suprize Midmight Buffet will consist of: hlw4756bdc, wkjpa8N and 
bxzBkj8%&$CSUYht4n.

The Continental Breakfast will consist of: donuts, danish, juice and coffee.

The Leftover Lunch Buffet will consist of: leftovers from all previous 
meals.

Budget permitting, there will be fresh fruit and assorted chilled beverages 
available between meals.

Now, here comes the part when I ask for your help.  In order to keep club 
overhead down, each participant is required to bring with them ALL of the 
following:

    Your choice of an ALREADY PREPARED side dish or desert with the 
appropriate serving utensil(s).

    1 large bag of ice in a cooler with either your name or call sign upon 
it.

    Any food(s) necessary due to special dietary requirements.

Station captains are asked to bring drinks, snacks and a cooler for their 
station(s).  Furthermore, I need to know from the station captains, via 
e-mail, how many people will be present from their station(s) for the 
surprize midnight buffet and for the continental breakfast so that I do NOT 
purchase too much food.

Finally, I will pass around a guest sheet at the June 14th club meeting.  
Please indicate the total number in your group (family, friends, etc.) that 
will be present for the Saturday Evening Dinner Banquet.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

I have not received commitments from any potential guest operators for
specific times at the 20 meter phone station.  I have thoroughly reviewed my
Yaesu manual and can find no recommendations on what types of drinks or
snacks it would require.  Based on past experience, I don't think I will
need to put the station in a cooler either.  A couple fans are all it might
need.  I will however, have a couple coolers of drinks for operators and
anyone I can persuade to help setup or tear down.

Greetings Fellow Club Members,

	PLEASE READ!!!!

	This is a post from the ARRLMENTORS group that I am a member. The
groups purpose is a reflector for ECOM mentors of the ARRL ECOM courses. I
think that this email will be of interest to the group over all. I will also
try to get an electronic copy of the article that is mentioned in the email
below. 

Regards,
Douglas Kearney N5LBJ

FROM w2ilp@juno.com

        The following comes from parts of an article in today's "Newsday", a
Long Island, NY daily newspaper - ....The National Commission of Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States will hear from former and present police and
fire commanders today and tomorrow....
...The city held a terrorism drill Sunday in what several sources said was a
concerted effort to impress the 9/11 commission, only to have a police
officer hurl a firefighter to the ground during a dispute over who was in
charge....
....Radio communication on 9/11 is also expected  to be a major topic....
....The Fire Department has conceded that the current model of its new
hand-held radios are being discontinued by the manufacturer, Motorola. 
The XTS3500 radios purchased in 1999 were put in service in March 2001 and
withdrawn within a week because of potential fatal transmission problems.
        The Fire Department was using its old Sabre model Motorola radios on
9/11, but it has since returned the XT3500.
        "We're absolutely going to have new radios soon". Philip McArdle,
the health and safety coordinator of the Uniformed Firefighters Association
said yesterday.
        Another union representative offered a similar view. "If we have
another major crisis, whether terror or other, we would face a lot of the
same problems as we faced on 9/11," said Robert Unger, spokesman for the
union representing ambulance workers, who are a part of the Fire Department.
<end of quotes from Newsday>

        I hate to comment at this time myself...but I want all volunteer
radio amateur emergency folks to understand that emergency operation in the
Big Apple is controlled by union organized paid professionals who neither
want or need any help from amateurs.  It is their responsibility.

        I urge all to follow the TV and newspaper reports pertaining to this
commission.  Also expected is an alleged accusation that people in the south
WTC tower were told (via a PA system) to stay at their desks after the first
tower was hit, even though the FAA and FBI knew that
there was more than one airliner skyjacked.  Poor communication?   If
true....Yes...but nothing that hams could have done about it even with long
range radios.

        Enuf sed about big city emergencies...There are no "organized"
professional unions for paid professionals in less populated areas.  It is
only beyond the big cities that Ham emergency training is of great value.
Volunteers with their own organizations and their own radios may accomplish
more there.

Respectful 73,
Bob Wexelbaum,  W2ILP

Doug,

Please allow me to augment the message below......

All the more reason for MORE of us to be trained, tested, certified and 
re-trained, re-tested and re-certified on an annual basis.

Question to all CCARC Members:  What ARES/RACES training have you 
participated in since May 1st 2003? (None, huh?)....... Remember Field Day 
IS an ARES training opportunity.  In order to reap the most benefit from 
this 'emergency deployment training,' you MUST participate!  The more you 
participate the better prepared you will become.

Come to the June 14th CCARC meeting at 7:30 PM @ the FTC to find out more.

73,

Keith Krichinsky - KB3HHK

Greetings Fellow Club Members,

	PLEASE READ!!!!

	This is a post from the ARRLMENTORS group that I am a member. The
groups purpose is a reflector for ECOM mentors of the ARRL ECOM courses. I
think that this email will be of interest to the group over all. I will also
try to get an electronic copy of the article that is mentioned in the email
below.

Regards,
Douglas Kearney N5LBJ

FROM w2ilp@juno.com

         The following comes from parts of an article in today's "Newsday", 
a
Long Island, NY daily newspaper - ....The National Commission of Terrorist
Attacks Upon the United States will hear from former and present police and
fire commanders today and tomorrow....
...The city held a terrorism drill Sunday in what several sources said was a
concerted effort to impress the 9/11 commission, only to have a police
officer hurl a firefighter to the ground during a dispute over who was in
charge....
....Radio communication on 9/11 is also expected  to be a major topic....
....The Fire Department has conceded that the current model of its new
hand-held radios are being discontinued by the manufacturer, Motorola.
The XTS3500 radios purchased in 1999 were put in service in March 2001 and
withdrawn within a week because of potential fatal transmission problems.
         The Fire Department was using its old Sabre model Motorola radios 
on
9/11, but it has since returned the XT3500.
         "We're absolutely going to have new radios soon". Philip McArdle,
the health and safety coordinator of the Uniformed Firefighters Association
said yesterday.
         Another union representative offered a similar view. "If we have
another major crisis, whether terror or other, we would face a lot of the
same problems as we faced on 9/11," said Robert Unger, spokesman for the
union representing ambulance workers, who are a part of the Fire Department.
<end of quotes from Newsday>

         I hate to comment at this time myself...but I want all volunteer
radio amateur emergency folks to understand that emergency operation in the
Big Apple is controlled by union organized paid professionals who neither
want or need any help from amateurs.  It is their responsibility.

         I urge all to follow the TV and newspaper reports pertaining to 
this
commission.  Also expected is an alleged accusation that people in the south
WTC tower were told (via a PA system) to stay at their desks after the first
tower was hit, even though the FAA and FBI knew that
there was more than one airliner skyjacked.  Poor communication?   If
true....Yes...but nothing that hams could have done about it even with long
range radios.

         Enuf sed about big city emergencies...There are no "organized"
professional unions for paid professionals in less populated areas.  It is
only beyond the big cities that Ham emergency training is of great value.
Volunteers with their own organizations and their own radios may accomplish
more there.

Respectful 73,
Bob Wexelbaum,  W2ILP

Why come to an NCAC Institute?
  Partly, to learn?procedures in case we are called on in a  
communications emergency (how to find out what you can do, equipment  
you will need & what to bring to take care of your own needs). Partly,  
to learn how we operate more formally in an emergency to be more  
efficient.
  ?
The national Weather Service recommends that even if you are a trained  
spotter, you should take a periodic refresher course to keep yourself  
sharp.
?
Supplies and expert help will be on hand to get you on the way to  
building your own "Power Pole" for quick connect to power supplies.
?
We will also offer a discussion of the recent Dulles Drill (or how to  
keep a plane crash from becoming a train wreck?).?Amateur Radio fits  
into the planning process and operations as patients are triaged and  
transported to a network of regional hospitals.
?
Get together and learn from other attendees from the area. Maryland,  
DC, Virginia and others welcome! Its less than two weeks away! Register

Keith,

As far as I know, this is the only "region wide" training in the area. I do know some of the local ARES groups down here are starting to get folks trained on how to use packet and always doing net training on weekly nets. Other than that, I have no knowledge of any.

What are some ideas for training that folks are looking for, so that I can take that back to NCAC and see if we can get the seesions added?

There's a new twist to the BPL issue.  Read the latest on the ARRL

      White House Gives ARRL Delegation Assurances on BPL Interference Issue

NEWINGTON, CT, May 21, 2004--ARRL President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, headed an 
ARRL delegation during a May 20 White House visit to discuss concerns 
about broadband over power line (BPL). Haynie, ARRL General Counsel 
Chris Imlay, W3KD, and Chief Technology Officer Paul Rinaldo, W4RI, met 
with Richard Russell, the White House associate director for technology 
in the Office of Science and Technology Policy. The ARRL officials asked 
the Bush administration to heed its own experts at the National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and back away 
from its support of BPL in favor of less troublesome broadband 
technologies. The NTIA's Phase 1 BPL study 
<http://www.ntia.doc.gov/ntiahome/fccfilings/2004/bpl/index.html> 
acknowledged BPL as an interference source. Haynie said the meeting with 
Russell was both revealing and encouraging.

"He assured us that based on the NTIA report, the interference issues 
would be addressed," Haynie said. "That was one of our main purposes for 
being there." Haynie said, however, that he remains "absolutely" 
convinced that a political agenda is driving the BPL proceeding. The 
ARRL group also asked the White House to consider delaying a Report & 
Order in the BPL proceeding to allow time for stakeholders to review the 
soon-expected NTIA Phase 2 report. The White House would not commit to 
asking the FCC to do so, Haynie said.

Russell told the ARRL contingent that the administration is "very 
excited" about BPL--not only for its technological possibilities but for 
its potential to create new broadband competition. He said the 
administration is approaching BPL from a "can do" perspective and is 
committed to finding ways to make it work.

Imlay said the League's problems were not with broadband access--ARRL 
supports making broadband access more widely available, he said--but 
with the "rush-to-judgment" approach the FCC seems to be taking in the 
BPL proceeding. As one example, he cited the timing between the release 
of the extensive NTIA study and the comment deadline on the BPL 
proceeding just a few days later. The Commission denied requests from 
the ARRL and others to extend the comment deadline. While somewhat 
sympathetic, Russell suggested that his office was in less of a position 
to influence the FCC than it was the NTIA.

After Rinaldo presented some of the ARRL's BPL interference test 
findings, Russell questioned whether some BPL implementations were less 
intrusive than others. He asked the League to provide a breakdown of the 
BPL systems and providers manifesting both lesser and greater degrees of 
interference.

In addition, Rinaldo told Russell that representatives of the BPL 
industry have been double-talking their way around interference claims. 
Imlay pointed out that the FCC has yet to address dozens of BPL-related 
interference complaints from amateurs. Haynie also raised additional 
points regarding interference to public safety users, especially in more 
rural areas of the US, as well as to aviation interests.

The administration does not want a flawed technology to result from the 
BPL proceeding, Russell said at the session's conclusion, and he offered 
assurances to the League visitors that the NTIA would work to address 
the interference.

"We did get listened to," Haynie said afterward. "Did I leave there 
feeling euphoric? No, I didn't, but at least I have a better feeling now 
of the overall big picture, of where BPL's coming from, and I hope that 
I can take to the bank the fact that they're going to address and 
continue to address aggressively the interference issues."

Derek Riker, KB3JLF, of Chwat & Company, the ARRL's legislative 
relations consultant, arranged the meeting and accompanied the 
delegation on the White House visit.

The ARRL already has asked the FCC to put its BPL proceeding on hold to 
allow more thorough research of its interference potential to licensed 
radio services. The League contended in its comments in response to the 
FCC's February 23 Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM 
<http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_document=6515783486>) 
in ET Docket 03-47 that the FCC's "overly aggressive timetable" to 
proceed with BPL deployment will effectively preclude the development of 
cooperative interference avoidance and resolution mechanisms.

Greetings Fellow CCARC Members,

	We need to work harder in keeping our club station clean and in a
professional operating condition. There has been numerous items that have
just been dropped off at the club station without notifying the station
committee chairman. Donations are always appreciated, but please make sure
that you check with the station committee chairman before you drop off your
equipment, books, etc to be donated. 

	Secondly, the station should always be in a condition ready to
respond to any type of operating need. The station this Saturday was no
where close to the condition. Basically, if you utilize a piece of
equipment. PLEASE PUT IT AWAY WHEN YOU ARE DONE WITH IT!!! Please make sure
that the station reflects the professionalism of this club. Having headsets,
cords, scrap paper, laying all over the station operating positions does not
portray the most professional image. Also, please make sure that if you
change the station configuration that you put it back the way you found
it!!!! The operating positions still need work to be used at this point.

	The station committee spends a lot of time in making sure that your
station is ready to be used when you want to use it, please do not make them
have to pick up after you.

ALL:

I tuned up the 6 meter repeater this morning.  It turned out that the
sensitivity was down probably due to just sitting untouched all these
years.  I went through the alignment procedures in the manual adjusting
the coils on the helical filter.  When I touched the adjustable capacitor
at the front end of the filter the receiver jumped to life.

Before adjusting anything the detectable signal was -90 dBm.
When I left today, detectable signal is -127 dBm.  Squelch breaks at -123
dBm.
These measurements are at the receiver input.  Subtract a couple dB for
the Duplexer.

All you 6 meter repeater users are encouraged to check out the repeater. 
And, send any comments.

HEY GANG;

HERE ARE THE MINUTES FROM THE MAY 19TH BOARD, CORRECTIONS, ADDITIONS OR 
DELETIONS TO ME ASAP PLEASE, THANKS AND 73

JOE

CARROLL COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB BOARD Minutes

The CCARC Board of Directors met on May 9th at the FTC, members present 
were, Bill N3WM, Joe N3YIM, Keith KB3HHK, Steve N3SB, Jerry N3GQK, Chuck 
N3TOT, Doug N5LBJ and John AK3Z.

Meeting was called to order at 1935 local.

There was a review of the 2004-05 budgets, there was fine tuning of 
expected income and expenditures, the budget being presented is not a 
balanced budget, the projected expenses exceed the projected income by 
some $800, and however, it is felt the club can live with the budget in 
its present configuration.

While at Dayton, Chuck N3TOT purchased 3 Rig Runners for installation in 
the van.

Keith, KB3HHK, van chairman, suggests that we title and license the van, 
the County is stalling on meeting with the club to discuss what they can 
do to help us with the van, if it is not titled and licensed it should 
be moved to Rob?s K1RH qth. Doug N5LBJ will ask Todd of Harris 
Automotive if he wants to drive the van to Rob?s for a fee, if not we 
will have it towed, there is sufficient money that has been donated to 
take care of the towing.

Chuck N3TOT supports the effort to title and license the van and to use 
it, and we should keep the membership inform what is going on with the 
project.

Larry WX3F came in and gave an update on the remote site, he has talked 
to Hankey?s and they will meet at the site to complete the hookup on a 
date that is yet to be determined, he hopes to have it completed perhaps 
this week.

There was considerable discussion about the van, it centered on the use 
of the van and the organizations that we can support, and we need to 
reestablish contact and dialogue with these organizations to show them 
our support efforts. The van committee is presently working on 
establishment of a Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) manual for the 
use and configuration of the van, the SOP will be presented to the 
membership for review and approval when completed.

There being no further business the meeting adjourned at 2130 local.

Submitted;

Joe Ebaugh, N3YIM,

Secretary

Hi Al,
  I will not be able to make the June 6th walk-thru
due to a family conflict.  I am ok with the site I had
last year on the same side of the road as the shelter
and south of it. I will be there on Friday June 25th
by 2PM to set up.

Larry, I just got your note (I don't check my Juno daily) and tried the
repeater again.

IT"S BACK...

I was able to get in with just 5w as I had a few months ago. Also my
friend Bern in VA using a just a mobile antenna in his window (16th
floor) was able to also get in with no problems. 

Thanks Larry & hope to see ALL that have 6M on the net this Wednesday....

Hey Larry

Very good on the  6 meter rig...I spoke to Steve and neither of us had 
heard from you or we would have came up to give you a hand. Anyway, thanks, 
the repeater sounds as good as ever...

Let me add my congratulations to Larry. The repeater
now gives me full scale on receive. I not only get
into the repeater fine but I can do it with 400mw.
Don't know what the qualtity at that power is however
as I have not heard anyone on. I'm also doing this
using a 2m ground plane on the tower at about 30 ft.

Subject: [K3PZN-List] Amateur Radio Restructing
Message-ID: <40B35879.3050306@verizon.net>

Old "Smiling Mike" Powell is on the case...


NEWINGTON, CT, May 25, 2004--FCC Chairman Michael K. Powell has assured 
US representatives Greg Walden, W7EQI (R-OR), and Mike Ross, WD5DVR 
(D-AR), that the Commission will act "as expeditiously as possible" on 
Amateur Radio restructuring. Walden and Ross wrote Powell a month ago to 
urge adoption of the ARRL's restructuring Petition for Rule Making 
(RM-10867 
<http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_document=6516083735>) 
"in its entirety" along with rules changes needed to put it into place. 
Powell said the League's petition was one of many.

"At this time, the Commission staff is reviewing and analyzing carefully 
all of the petitions, comments and proposed rule changes in this area," 
Powell responded May 21. "Because this matter is of great importance to 
you and the almost 700,000 amateur radio operators nationwide, the staff 
is working diligently to create a comprehensive solution to address the 
proposals the petitioners have submitted." The next step in the process, 
he said, will be to prepare a notice of proposed rule making for the 
Commission's consideration.

In addition to the League's filing, Powell pointed out, the Commission 
received 17 other petitions for rule making that address examination 
requirements and operating privileges for Amateur Service licensees. The 
various proposals attracted more than 5000 comments, he noted--more than 
800 of them on the ARRL's petition alone.

In their letter to Powell, Walden and Ross expressed their belief that 
the ARRL's plan "will encourage the development, refinement and use of 
new technologies; increase the number of young people involved in 
Amateur Radio; and provide incentives for Amateur Radio licensees to 
pursue technical self-training and opportunities for volunteerism in the 
best traditions of our country."

Other comparable restructuring plans were filed by the Radio Amateur 
Foundation, RM-10868, (Part 1 
<http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_document=6515783299>) 
(Part 2 
<http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_document=6515783300>) 
and by the National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators, 
RM-10870 
<http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retrieve.cgi?native_or_pdf=pdf&id_document=6516082208>. 


Fifteen other petitions for rule making came down on one side or the 
other of retaining the Amateur Radio Morse code examination requirement 
to operate on HF. Judging from Powell's letter to Walden and Ross, the 
FCC plans to address all 18 petitions within the framework of a single 
rule making proceeding.

I agree.  In fact my response to Al was, "Unfortunately, not."

If you can make it to the meeting Wednesday night, bring the letters, cards 
and envelopes.  Although the pretense for the meeting is a 
'walkthrough/planning' meeting, we should get some folding, bending, 
spindling, mutilating and envelope stuffing done too, while we have a 
'captive' audience.  We can discuss equipment layouts, planning, exterior 
design, antennas, ancillary equipment and such while we are 'stuffing.'

I agree that we should have a 'show peice' vehicle, inside and out.  I know 
we can do this without any help from the county if necessary.

On a different note, can I impose on you to create some kind of a letter to 
be sent out to the local heads of the American Red Cross, the Salvation 
Army, Volunteer Carroll (for inclusion in local CERT deployments), Carroll 
Hospital Center, MEMA, the Civil Air Patrol, and anyone else you can think 
of in an effort to establish or re-establish our committment to work with 
them during emergency situations? Although it wouldn't necessarily have to 
be an official MOU, it should outline what we can offer them, what they 
would expect from us and ask that we be included in any drills and/or crisis 
simulations they might have so that we can practice working with them should 
the need arise.  One letter should be able to be used for several, if not 
all of the organizations.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Keith
With no real funding yet, it seems unlikely that the van would be ready.
Apparently we are waiting for some reason to title, tag and insure ...Money?
When  Steve pushed to talk to the county ... that sort of held things up. I
didn't think then and I don't think now that the county should be a factor.
We should write them off and proceed. If something come through, then fine.

Until enough money is available, there is not much that can be done save
some cleaning, bodywork to stop the rust and some substantial planning. I
believe that the MCC must not only be functional, but should also be a
showcase. That is what will get the support. That may mean redesigning the
layouts some so the equipment stands out. I know we said it would be neat to
put them in the cabinets, and I still think that can be done, but we need to
design the equipment inside the cabinet so it looks "build-in" or
"consolized". All of the similar vehicles I have looked at took that
approach. Lights, meters, switches, sirens, but no wires. You can bet that
the fireman's comm. van will be very professional and very expensive.

I'm not so sure we should allow it to be used for FD this year. It simply
isn't ready. If it is used, then only as a shelter  .. no use of onboard
systems until all is thoroughly checked out, fixed etc.

When we meet with the county, I will be happy if we can get a accessible
parking pad from them.
