Comments: GENERAL INFORMATION  (June 2005):  While June was a moderately
busy month,  unfortunately little of it had to do with Amateur Radio s big
event: Field Day. Very few Field Day activities held in the section this
year. Perhaps a better showing can be had next year. Most of the activities
surrounded various  events  held around the state. These will be covered in
the DEC reports below. IRLP Nets continue to gain interest and for the
mostpart, have been well attended. It is however difficult to get everyone
on board this time of year due to vacations, but will continue to hopefully
build momentum as we get closer to the fall season and everyone returns. I
am working with newly appointed ACC
Glenn Thomas, WB6W on coordinating website information which will be
accessible by everyone once completed. Glenn is working on that now. He will
have access to monthly SEC reports and as PIC, will be sending him PR
information which is good for distribution section-wide.

NORTHEAST REPORT:  Field Day reported to be a great success. Operations were
held at the NWS Office in Elko. No other Emergency operations or drills to
report during the month of June other than the Field Day event. Joe Giraudo,
N7JEH also continues to do an excellent job as Net Manager of the Saturday
morning ARES Net via HF on 3.965. Great participation in this net every week!

NORTHWEST REPORT:  Kids Day  was held the week before Field Day in Reno
(Washoe County). Andy, KD7ZEV and Bob, WA6MTY coordinated the event. Many
youngsters came out and were given the opportunity to experience ham radio
up close and make contacts with local hams. Very enjoyable. It was held in
conjunction with and in cooperation with the Washoe County Library System
who welcomed our efforts working with the kids.  Max K0MC continues to
attend meetings with Washoe County EOC where the installation for their new
comms antenna is beginning. More next month on the installation of the  pole
. 3 events in Douglas County this month. One around Lake Tahoe Area using 15
comm stations; The Pony Express Ride; and a bike ride from Genoa, NV for 100
miles using many comm. stations. ARES training provided through these events
on a variety of areas, including NCS and net proceedures, deployment to
remote sites, and mutual aid. Good job by all!  Lyon County group
participated in Field Day !
  with setup on a station with help from Al, K7RAA. Churchill County working
on recruitment of new membership in the county with help from KE7CRZ.
Warnings are ongoing as to fire danger this season. While there have been
some small fires ignited, nothing major as yet   but we are standing by and
waiting for the call should problems arise. Members are encouraged to keep
go kits  ready just in case. This is the first full month without Randy
Davenport, KA4NMA who recently moved back to South Carolina. On last week in
town, he was visited by DEC and SEC to say thank you and wish Randy and his
wife all the best. Al Stinger, W7RTI who has been Randy's AEC will be
filling in as interim EC during emergencies.

SOUTHERN REPORT:  While several fires have broken out this season in this
district, still no direct involvement for amateur radio, although our people
are ready to answer should the call be given. A comms failure occurred on
June 7. South Nye County and CCNVARES established a comms link between
Pahrump and Las Vegas. Members monitored 146.88 repeater and passed messages
for Nye Co. Emergency Manager who was in the area. Field Day Activities held
at Sunset Park. The LVRAC comms trailer deployed for the event, as several
members took part.   Skywarn Spotter training held several times during the
period at locations around Clark County. Meeting held with Clark County
Emergency Manager to discuss involvement with amateur radio. Preparations
underway for next event: Rotunda Thunda scheduled for July 11-14.
