NCEM / ARRL-ARES/RACES MOU signing at JARSfest, Sunday


In addition to all the great things we have come to expect at the JARSfest, 
this year something special will happen there.

The long awaited Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) between the State of 
North Carolina and the amateur radio volunteers in this state will receive 
the final signature. John Covington, ARRL Section Manager for NC, will be 
attending the ham fest and will put his signature on the MOU. Recently Dr. 
Kenneth B. Taylor, the new Director of Emergency Management for NC, had 
reviewed and signed the MOU.

This document formally establishes the role of amateur radio in emergencies 
and links ARES and RACES as one group in this state. the document will be 
signed between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM Sunday Nov. 17 at the JARSfest in 
Benson. A link is included below in case anyone needs more information 
about JARSfest. I hope you have the opportunity to attend JARSfest and 
witness this historic event.

Thanks and 73s,
