Message-ID: <CABO4G0nPQZHsRXsdGCJZMLJWAMGuc4dRy70jSxX-xWydSzpnzQ@mail.gmail.com>

This Saturday is the 1st Saturday of the month. This is when the NORC net
typically holds it?s monthly net at *11:00 am* on or around +/- 7.200 MHz
LSB. (Tune up or Down to find the Net)

NORC is an acronym for Northwest Ohio Regional Communications.

HF gear was purchased thru the Regional Medical Response System (RMRS) grant
and issued to all 18 County Emergency Operation Centers (EOC). This
organized net was originally developed to provide a backup communications
system for all of the Northwest Ohio County Emergency Operation Centers
located in these counties:

*Allen, Auglaize, Defiance, Erie, Fulton, Hancock, Henry, Huron, Lucas,
Mercer, Ottawa, Paulding, Putnam, Sandusky, Seneca, Van Wert, Williams, and
Wood.*

Hospitals located in these counties are involved with The Northwest Ohio
Healthcare Emergency Management Coalition (NWO-HEMC).

The hospitals of NWO-HEMC have written into their emergency back-up plans a
place for amateur radio operators to participate. They need amateur radio
operators/stations to act as back up communications during drills and
emergencies; and to make a *communications grid that will cover all 18
counties* should it be needed so that the hospitals could or would be able
to communicate using amateur radio operators.

Stations close enough to communicate simplex with any hospital via VHF/UHF
are encouraged to participate on HF in the NORC Net as well. You do not
have to be a member of a club or organization to participate in this net.

Like the NTS, the use of VHF/UHF and the use of HF is strategically
important when relaying communications when the internet and other
communications infrastructures are down.

Please consider participating.

Subject: [TMRA] USS Requin Submarine Radio History
Message-ID: <CAM9FSFzy4P42tkYZNg=XxsnWNeM3gDGPG-w5pC0f8iEtH6CcZA@mail.gmail.com>

For the history buffs out there... I had a chance to visit the Carnegie
Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA this weekend.  This is home to the USS
Requin, a decommissioned submarine.  On board is home to the NY3EC radio
club.  They periodically operate from the subs radio room!  Pretty neat.

On the TMRA website picture gallery I added 4 pics to the "Miscellaneous"
gallery, two of the radio room, and two of some artifacts from the sub...
including an old code book and morse key, as well as a note which reads:

"Did you know?

The Lionel Train Corporation made some of the radio equiment used on
submarines!"

Neat stuff.

Here is a link to the pics:

WB8NQW received the following request:

Hi Bob,

 My name is Chris, call sign: WE8ST. I found your email on the Wood Co.
Amateur Radio club's website, I hope it was ok to write. I'm a member of
the Findlay Radio Club. I am the head of event communications this year for
the Susan Komen Race for the Cure in Findlay this year as well. You may
have heard that last year was the first year that Komen came to Findlay to
hold it's first race there. Last year was quite the success and this year
they anticipate even more participation than last year. If memory serves me
correctly, there were over 3,000 participants there last year. There were
many local and regional sponsors, news crews, etc. there for the event. All
in all it was a fairly high profile event, at least for our area.

I am reaching out to you to see if you might spread the word to your club
members (or anyone with a radio license) about the race, and to ask if
anyone may be interested in helping us out with radio communications during
the event.

The details are: The event is on Saturday, Sept. 27. We will have our
communications trailer set up near the Marathon Oil building on Main St.
(exact location TBD). This will be our base station and all operators in
the field will report to net control in the trailer through a simplex
frequency. The radio volunteers will be expected to be ready to go by
around 7AM. It is an early morning thing, I know. We should be able to
supply a couple HT's if needed, but if at all possible, it would be great
for any volunteers to bring their own radios with them (and spare
batteries!). Parking may be a bit tricky, as you might imagine with several
thousand people roaming around downtown Findlay that day. So more than
likely people would have to park a few blocks away and walk either to our
trailer, or strait to their assigned location. The main areas we would need
covered would be points along the race route (radio ops here would serve as
the communication point person for likely several race volunteers already
placed along the race route). It's also possible we may need a few radio
ops to shadow several race committee staff. They would just follow their
person around and serve as the communication link for them as needed. Then
I am told there may be several radio persons needed to be stationed at
several parking areas, as well as to be on a couple/few shuttle buses.

Like I said, I have a number of people already signed up from our club but
I am feeling like a bit of additional help would certainly be welcome. So
if you choose to, feel free to spread the word to your club members for
anyone interested in helping out. I have maps and any info we would need at
hand I can share. If I was able to I would chime in to the net you guys
normally have on your repeater and share the word there as well, but
unfortunately can't at the moment.

Thanks in advance for your help with this and feel free to respond back
with any questions or willing volunteers.

73, Chris WE8ST
