Interesting items, the first and last, in this newsletter.  Seems like 
the future is for ARES and CERT to become operational units and the 
future is digital comms for messaging.

 From Your Editor: /ARES E-Letter/ Goals for its Ninth Year

This issue of your /ARES E-Letter/ marks the beginning of the ninth year 
of its publication as an ARRL monthly electronic periodical. The first 
issues came in September, 2005, during the Hurricane Katrina 
mega-disaster. Those issues contained much network and other critical 
information from the field, with anecdotes of amateurs performing 
yeoman's work directly in the path of harm's way. The initial 
circulation was a little over 8,000 subscribers. For almost a decade 
now, the circulation has ballooned to more than 37,000 subscribers. I am 
proud of that number, not as a reflection on your editor, but as an 
indication of the incredible growth of interest in the field for Amateur 
Radio as an emergency communications, disaster response and recovery 
radio-communications service that works so well on a strictly volunteer, 
unpaid basis, simply out of a collective desire to help our neighbors in 
distress.

I had a long conversation with the ARRL Headquarters Emergency 
Preparedness Manager Mike Corey, KI1U, recently to set some new 
direction and goals for the newsletter for the immediate future: First, 
as the Headquarters' lead staffer on ARES, HQ emergency response 
planning and operations, and served agency liaison, Corey would like to 
see more "ink" devoted to state-of-the-art, pioneering and 
envelope-pushing of emergency and disaster communications modes, systems 
and networks; he cited as examples the efforts of some groups to develop 
a broadband network for Amateur Radio public service operators (see, for 
example,http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/ <http://www.hsmm-mesh.org/>) similar 
in concept, if not scope, to the up and coming, much-publicized Public 
Safety broadband service development. For an amateur broadband network 
to exist, use of the frequencies in the GHz ranges would allow for the 
necessary speeds/bandwidth, of course, which, while enhancing our ARES 
volunteers' ability to meet the ever-more demanding needs for 
sophistication in services by emergency managers, would also serve to 
justify our access to those higher frequency ranges that are coming 
under ever-increasing pressure from commercial interests. Thus, as 
editor, I am seeking contributions of reports of such efforts from the 
field to stimulate the research and development of such activity on a 
broader scale. Henceforth, that will be one of the new pillars of 
direction for this newsletter.

Secondly, it will be the goal of this newsletter to focus on the ARES 
operator's service to his neighbor in an emergency or disaster 
situation. I've written and reported on the CERT program as a vehicle 
for this re-focusing on the neighborhood radio amateur concentrating on 
neighborhood communications and the immediate protection of safety of 
life and property at the street level. Essentially, the notion is that 
the "ham at the end of the street" helps prepare and train his/her 
neighbors (as a CERT) in disaster effects mitigation and, of course, 
radio communications in advance of hurricane season, for example. And 
when it hits the fan, he/she is able to activate the CERT, and effect 
the neighborhood emergency operations plan, with part of that plan being 
the establishment of a communications link to the world outside of the 
neighborhood: family, friends, and also the city or county EOC. The 
focus would be on limiting the radio amateur's travel to his 
neighborhood, and not so much on having him have to drive his family 
station wagon on potentially perilous road conditions to a distant EOC 
or Red Cross shelter. (Those facilities could be served by a radio 
amateur that is "in the neighborhood" of the EOC or shelter; that ham 
who could simply walk around the corner to it).

Radio amateurs are decentralized, found in just about every neighborhood 
across the country, and are the naturals for the most local emergency 
and disaster response. The professional responders are not 
decentralized: they are located in a handful of service facilities 
around the town, city or county, and in major situations, may not be 
able to respond to a neighborhood for hours, days or even weeks. The 
radio amateur, properly trained of course, is in the best position to 
respond to his neighbors because he is already there. (A good place to 
start for basic education and training is by reading "The Future of ARES 
is CERTain," in the January 2013 issue of /QST/, in the Public Service 
column).

A radio amateur and CERT trainer was just recognized by the White House. 
>From an ARRL report: The White House this week (October 13) recognized 
Matt Brisbois, KI6RBS, of Newport Beach, California, as part of its 
Champions of Change <http://www.whitehouse.gov/champions> program. The 
Newport Beach Community Emergency Response Team (CERT 
<http://www.fema.gov/community-emergency-response-teams>) program 
coordinator "has trained and mentored more than 1000 residents, business 
and community leaders, and educators, resulting in the highest 
per-capita volunteer-to-resident ratio for CERT programs in all of 
California," a City of Newport Beach news release 
<http://www.newportbeachca.gov/index.aspx?page=99&recordid=2835&returnURL=%2Findex.aspx> 
said. CERT, a FEMA program, seeks to train members of the community to 
prepare for and assist in the event of an emergency or disaster; Amateur 
Radio training and communications are among the Newport Beach CERT 
activities. Brisbois, a fire department life safety specialist, was one 
of 18 individuals selected this year as "Champions of Change for 
Community Preparedness and Resilience."

In summary, this is where we see the evolution of ARES headed: towards 
more sophistication of services in demand by the professional emergency 
managers and consequently the use of higher frequency band and bandwidth 
applications; and the trend towards reducing the focus of the operator 
to the neighborhood versus the big EOC on the other side of the county 
-- kind of a micro versus macro approach. I am taking this opportunity 
as editor of this newsletter to solicit readers' reports and stories 
along the above lines. Let's focus on these developmental issues going 
forward into our ninth year of publication. - /Rick Palm, K1CE/

News in Brief

IARU Emergency Communications Workshop Debuts in Cancun, Mexico --The 
first IARU Region 2 Emergency Communications Workshop, held September 
24-25 in Cancun, Mexico in conjunction with the IARU Region 2 XVIII 
General Assembly, explored international issues facing Amateur Radio's 
response to emergencies and disasters. Sponsored by IARU Region 2 and 
the ARRL, the event was co-chaired by ARRL Emergency Preparedness 
Manager Mike Corey, KI1U, and IARU Region 2 Emergency Coordinator Dr. 
Cesar Pio Santos, HR2P. Full story here 
<http://www.arrl.org/news/first-iaru-region-2-emergency-communications-workshop-focuses-on-awareness-cooperation>. 
Participants in the workshop represented countries throughout IARU 
Region 2 as well as observers from IARU Regions 1 and 3.

Representatives of the US Army Military Auxiliary Radio Service (MARS 
<http://www.usarmymars.org/>) met with ARRL staff at League Headquarters 
October 2 to discuss ways the two organizations might collaborate in 
emergency response activities. Army MARS Region 1 Director Bob Mims, 
WA1OEZ, headed the delegation. Mims, who is also manager of the Army 
MARS National Net, said most of the discussion centered on how ARRL 
Headquarters and the Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES 
<http://www.arrl.org/ares>) could interact with MARS during its 
national-level test of backup communications set for early November, and 
going forward. Full story here 
<http://www.arrl.org/news/view/army-mars-seeks-partnership-with-arrl-ares>.

The US Army MARS <http://www.netcom.army.mil/mars/80%8E> gateway station 
at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, is operating on its normal schedule during 
the government shutdown, but routine administrative activity is on hold, 
computer systems are down, and no membership paperwork can be processed 
for the duration. As a civilian contractor not covered by the shutdown, 
Operations Officer David McGinnis, K7UXO, is completing final 
preparations for the November 3-4 national communications exercise. The 
national net is functioning normally. /-- US Army MARS news release/

On the Colorado Flood Disaster Response

The Colorado flash flooding disasters and ARES responses of September 
2013 are well-documented in /QST/, the /ARRL Letter/, on the ARRL 
website and elsewhere, but some excellent coverage of ARES reports of 
sophisticated modes/applications like ATV, PSK, and APRS in use; 
newspaper and network television coverage, letters of appreciation from 
survivors; and some fantastic photos can be found on the Colorado 
Section Manager website here 
<http://coloradosectionmanager.wordpress.com/colorado-floods-2013/>. 
Don't miss it.

I was struck by many of the accounts, but of special note were the 
efforts of the Boulder County ARES group, which has a history of serving 
emergency management officials by providing fast Amateur Television 
imaging to give managers a visual on what was happening on the ground: 
"Boulder County ARES group hams either communicated from the Boulder 
County EOC, one of the shelters at Niwot High School or Lifebridge 
Christian Church, from one of the flood isolated towns in the mountains 
west of Boulder, or on the flight line of the Boulder Municipal Airport 
sending live ATV pictures from drone aircraft of the search and rescue, 
and evacuation efforts to the Boulder EOC and via uStream across the 
country. Some of these hams doubled as communicators for the Boulder 
County and American Red Cross Disaster Assessment Teams as well, 
providing ham radio, the only communications available at the time, and 
automatically transmitting their DAT vehicle positions via APRS. There 
are many other ARES teams around the Front Range with similar activities 
and hours to report. The total number of volunteer hours provided by the 
ham radio community will be in the thousands and all at no cost to their 
cities and towns."

And this report on APRS use: "The Boulder County Land Use and the 
American Red Cross Disaster Assessment Team both requested ham radio 
operators to ride along and provide their VHF radio communications back 
to the Boulder County EOC because there was no other reliable source of 
communications to be had at the time. These hams also carried APRS gear 
along with them and provided complete time, location and distance data 
along their routes. That APRS info has proven valuable in the aftermath 
for showing what areas have already been surveyed." For these info 
leads, thanks go to John Murphy, KCØJPO, ARRL PIO for Adams County (CO) 
ARES, who also passed along this additional report, which reflects much 
of the activity as typical of many ARES groups across the region: Region 
1/District 1 ARES was deployed on September 12 in response to the 
September Front Range major flooding and road closures. A shelter was 
setup in the Adams City High School on that afternoon. The Red Cross 
started to setup the shelter and quickly discovered that cell phone 
coverage for that area was poor. A request for Amateur Radio operators 
to provide communications was sent to Red Cross Headquarters, and the 
call went out to R1D1 ARES in Adams County for support. Within two 
hours, Amateur Radio communications were setup and providing a clear 
link to the Red Cross Headquarters, and the Colorado State Emergency 
Operations Center (EOC). The shelter saw an influx of 150 to 200 people 
with 150 people spending the night. With the communications link open, 
food, water, cots and a dumpster were provided for the shelter. The 
shelter manager was greatly appreciative of ARES efforts and said "we 
made things happen." The shelter was open for 30 hours then demobilized.

San Joaquin Valley SM Commends Wildfire Team

ARRL San Joaquin Valley Section Manager Dan Pruitt, AE6SX, had this to 
say about his team of operators involved in wildfire communications over 
the summer: "If you were involved with emergency communications, then 
you were paying attention to the Fire Outlook this month [August]. There 
were a number of smaller fires in San Joaquin Valley but the Rim Fire 
tested our resources. We worked with familiar organizations, but in 
Central San Joaquin, there were new people in the leadership positions. 
We handled ourselves professionally and expertly. We served the agencies 
as they requested and that we mostly trained to accomplish. Nothing ever 
goes exactly as planned. We put untested skill sets into practice (such 
as the use of the PSK mode). This allowed us to be more effective. I 
would have to say these are not unusual conditions. I did not receive 
any bad reports. This makes me very proud of ARES and all Amateur Radio 
volunteers. I am honored to be affiliated with such mindful and 
considerate citizens."

Amateur Radio volunteers had supported the Red Cross and local 
government in the wake of the gigantic Rim Fire, in and near 
California's Yosemite National Park and the Stanislaus National Forest, 
finally standing down after 16 days on duty. The initial call out on 
August 19 responded to a request to assist the Red Cross in setting up 
an evacuation center in Groveland, California. More information here

CERT Training in Denver to Include ARES

A full scale training exercise for CERT training grads needing a 
graduation exercise to complete their training is scheduled for next 
week, October 20, 2013, in Denver, Colorado. All Denver CERT trained 
students will serve as the responders for the graduation exercise. Role 
players (about 100) are needed to play injured citizens in a disaster 
scenario. Participating CERT training graduates are being asked to bring 
a friend to serve as a role player. Assignments will be given the day of 
the exercise. Denver-area ARES personnel will support the exercise with 
radio communications. Participants will receive a go-kit. Registrations 
and information can be found at http://www.denvergov.org/DenverCERT. 
"This is an excellent opportunity to participate and help prepare our 
communities for times of disaster," said Carolyn H. Bluhm, Community 
Preparedness and Relations, Office of Emergency Management and Homeland 
Security, City and County of Denver

Volunteers Needed for Marine Corps Marathon Operation

There are only 45 more days until one of the premier Amateur Radio 
supported public service events takes place: the Marine Corps Marathon 
<http://www.marinemarathon.com/>. The communications support is a joint 
effort between Amateur Radio operators in Maryland, DC and Virginia. 
ARRL Maryland/DC Section Manager Jim Cross, WI3N, reports "We are still 
uncomfortably below the threshold of volunteers that we need." Cross 
says "If you've never done anything like this before, don't let it scare 
you. After signing up, there are team leaders who will match your 
equipment to the task and work with you to explain the task and how to 
accomplish it." Cross adds that "In general the major need is for eyes 
on the course, although if you have digital mode skills, we have a job 
for you! " There is also an all hands briefing that will be held on 
Saturday, October 19, for more instruction. Registration and further 
information can be found here: www.ncacdc.com <http://www.ncacdc.com> -

ARRL Iowa Section ARES Code of Conduct

[editor's note: Here is a good code of conduct for ARES members, as 
promulgated by Iowa ARES officials. - K1CE]

Whereas the ARRL Iowa Section ARES members are the personification of 
Amateur Radio to the public and to the governmental and 
quasi-governmental agencies they serve, they elected to publish 
guidelines for ARES registered volunteer behavior. Although these are 
not conditions for participation, the Iowa leadership strongly 
encourages each ARES member to abide by these standards:

· ARES members will conduct themselves with respect and courtesy to 
those whom we serve. We will be listeners and communicators.

· ARES members will not act as or be perceived as agents or employees of 
the agencies whom we serve. We are a serving agency and have no 
authority to act on behalf of the agency.

· ARES members will not use profanity, vulgar language or language or 
expressions which may be considered derogatory when in public.

· ARES members will not park in restricted areas, unless specifically 
authorized or invited to do so by the agencies we serve.

· ARES members will not use flashing lights while vehicles are underway. 
Use of flashing yellow lights is permitted only when vehicles are 
stationary for the purposes of collision avoidance. If in doubt, please 
inquire with Net Control and they will request clarification from the 
Emergency Operation Center.

· ARES members will not solicit contributions or gifts, merchandise or 
services from any individuals or businesses while using the name of 
local EOC or the phrase Emergency Services. All solicitations using the 
name of Amateur Radio Emergency Service or associated, related names 
must be approved in writing by those associated agencies, in advance. No 
ARES member (including ARES leadership) is authorized to use the name of 
the agencies without their prior written permission.

· ARES members will not use the logos or identifying marks of the 
agencies that we serve without prior approval in writing by those agencies.

· All prospective ARES members must be able to pass their respective 
County EOC credentialing requirements. These requirements are not 
negotiable. (adopted March 10, 2012).

/Essay/: Amateur Radio is an Application Mash-Up

During presentations on Amateur Radio contributions to emergency and 
disaster response, invariably questions arise from non-hams trying to 
understand how it is that Amateur Radio is such an effective and 
reliable communication system, available to the public at no cost, but 
is also an avocation. Hams invariably respond by emphasizing Amateur 
Radio's use of modern technology, the dedication of individual hams to 
their public service role, that hams bring their own equipment to the 
service, the non-pecuniary nature of ham radio, et cetera.

Yet the public remains puzzled. Except for the non-pecuniary aspect, 
those answers also apply to the commercial systems. And the public 
seldom understands the cost savings anyway. I offer the following as a 
better approach for explaining Amateur Radio value in emergency and 
disaster response radio communications services.

In today's Internet-savvy culture, Amateur Radio's distinguishing 
characteristic for emergency service communications is that it is an 
"Application Mash-up." It is a primary reason that Facebook, eBay, et 
cetera are so successful. Let's examine three principal characteristics 
of Amateur Radio under this moniker.

/Operating time/. Individual hams operate frequently. Thousands of hams 
practice their skills and ensure their equipment is fully operational 
every day of the week, not just during some pre-scheduled emergency 
communication test.

/Operating Interests/. Hams have diverse interests and a variety of 
talents. Some try to operate independently of the commercial power grid. 
Others operate at very low power, gaining practice in techniques to 
overcome adverse conditions. Some only use home-brewed antennas, 
learning exceptional antenna construction skills. Many operate nets 
where they control traffic flow, and routinely switch frequencies to 
overcome poor conditions. These and innumerable other examples develop 
thousands of special skills that contribute to instant value added to 
Amateur Radio and hence the public, over other systems.

/Self-sufficiency/. The skills hams acquire in all of the above allow 
overcoming the most adverse of conditions. Hams have no expectation that 
their "IT Department" will come and fix their computer, or that an 
electrician will restore their power sources, or some other repairman 
will arrive to fix failed equipment. Hams do it all themselves. The ham 
operating in an emergency situation is self-sufficient.

The web-centric definition of "Application Mash-up" is: "An application 
that combines data and/or functionality from more than one source." When 
an emergency occurs, what do hams do? They bring astonishing diversity 
of talents and assets to the table, in terms of capabilities, as the 
commercial infrastructure fails due to a number of factors. This is a 
human and equipment resource treasure that cannot be duplicated by any 
amount of money from any government or private resource. It is the 
essence of how Amateur Radio is the emergency communication service that 
never fails.

So when someone asks why Amateur Radio When All Else Fails? The answer 
is simple: "Because Amateur Radio is an Application Mash-up." --

K1CE For a Final

As promised, following up on previous issues' closing remarks, I spent 
some time this past month downloading and operating the NBEMS suite of 
programs and utilities for multi-mode digital operation with a sound 
card (no hard TNC or other special "black box" needed; nor, Internet or 
other digital infrastructure). The software is free and easily 
downloadable at www.w1hkj.com/nbems <http://www.w1hkj.com/nbems>. A good 
overview of the suite can be found on the ARRL website here 
<http://www.arrl.org/nbems>. Essentially, as the website overview 
states: "Narrow Band Emergency Messaging Software (NBEMS) is an Open 
Source software suite that allows amateur radio operators to reliably 
send and receive data using nearly any computer (Windows, Mac, and 
Linux) and any analog radio without requiring a dedicated digital 
infrastructure or specialized modem hardware. NBEMS works on both 
VHF/UHF FM and on HF. In a presentation you will learn the basics of 
sending and receiving data using /Fldigi/. You will also see how to 
easily send and receive verified files and forms using /Flmsg/. NBEMS is 
the standard digital emergency/disaster communications package for 
Western PA ARES." A good update on the NBEMS suite was published just 
recently, in September 2013 /QST/, pages 70-71. Development has focused 
on making the programs and utilities more user friendly, to reduce the 
risk of errors when operators are under stress from an emergency 
situation. A real life hospital account is included.

My initial experimentation with NBEMS has been very satisfying. There is 
nothing more exciting to get a new program to work on the air - and that 
was the case with me and NBEMS. And, well, truth be told, its flagship 
/fldigi/ has become my personal default program for DXing at night on 
20-meters (around 14.070 MHz) using PSK31. The waterfall is better, the 
tuning is better, and works well to dig the data out of seeming nothingness.

I tried the /flmsg/ utility, and its value as a tool for completing and 
transmitting common Incident Command System (ICS) and ARRL forms is in 
evidence. I practiced completing an ICS-204 form and an ARRL Radiogram 
form, and then mock-sending them (with my radio's output power off) via 
the new /fldigi /feature /Autosend/, which eliminates the multiple steps 
needed to send a form before the function's adoption.

As I mentioned, this report covers only my initial trials, and I am 
looking forward to trying some of the modes other than PSK31 - and 
gaining new thrills! Congrats to the NBEMS developers on making an open 
source program so available and as an obvious tool in the emergency 
communicator's tool box. - /K1CE/
