COMMENTS:

Ky District 7 Amateur Radio Emergency Team (KYD7ARET) members 
activated 1/26/04 at the request of EMA after a pipeline ruptured 
pouring over 64,000 gallons of crude oil into the Kentucky River 
about 4 miles from where it meets the Ohio River. KYD7ARET was 
cleared at 5:40 AM EST on 1/27.

On January 17, 2005 K4UKH a new 2 meter repeater went on the air 
in Lexington, KY. The University of Kentucky has purchased and 
installed the repeater for the use of the Fayette County ARES 
Medical Facilities program. Its intended use is to provide 
communication during emergency activations and during scheduled 
drills. When it is not in use during an emergency it is open to 
all licensed amateur radio operators to use. The frequency is 
147.120 with a tone of 141.3. The trustee and Medical Facilities 
coordinator is Tom Mansfield, KG4TND.
