From fdrn at tampabay.rr.com Wed Nov 6 15:26:42 2013 From: fdrn at tampabay.rr.com (Robin Retzloff) Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 18:26:42 -0500 Subject: Polk ARES Net and Business Message-ID: Hello All, We have the ARES Net tonight at 7:30pm followed by an HF net on 7.281. We will coordinate the exact HF frequency on the 146.985 repeater. My ARRL.net email address is no longer what I will be using. RobinRetzloff at gmail.comwill work. October training can now be entered from the PolkARES.org website. The link to the form to enter training hours can be found at the top of the "Training" page. There is a new calendar for Net Control Operators, an updated calendar for ARES events, and additional Training content on the ARES 101 page. There is a Christmas meeting to be held at the EOC with food and door prizes to be provided on December 14th. We anticipate an online registration link will be up soon. This is an outreach to the local Amateur radio operators, CERT team members, and their families. There will be a testing session for the Emergency Communications Class (ECC-001) at the EOC on November 21st at 6pm. Please arrive a few minutes early to prepare for the test. See you on the net.

I need all interested operators to send me a response to robinretzloff at gmail.com . I have recently started using this email address for ARES business as my arrl.netaddress is not dependable. I have received a response to previous requests from Al Bentley, K2RXD , and Jim Stewart, KG4QGB. I will make a contact list of all respondents available to all on the list. Net Control Operators need to practice on the air to improve and maintain skills. As a recent training film stated, " practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect." Please consider not only joining our weekly Imperial Polk County ARES Net, but exercising your Net Control skills as a primary or backup Net Control Operator. Thank you for considering this request.

That is breaking our own record from 40th place in 2012. We also broke our last year record in points by 282 including bonus points. And We also made 47 more contacts. My Hat is off to all the hard work for each of you that pulled together to pull this off this year. WAY TO "TEAM" Now we know we can do better next year too as we did better this year. So Cheer's to a better year then last and a bigger Cheer for yet another great Field Day to come.

If you intend to join us for the Christmas Dinner before the next meeting in December, please contact Ernie at kg4yni at arrl.net immediately. Ernie needs to give Jimbo's our final number of reservations ASAP. There will be no reservations sold at the door. Please see the blog for further information. Please do not forget about donating to our partner, VISTE. Food donations are needed for the holidays for our seniors in the community. Our Club has been generous in the past and I believe that we can be one more time. The Tampabay Hamfest in Plant City on December 6-7, 2013 needs volunteer help. Please contact Don Jeerings at Djeerings at tampabay.rr.com for further information. Please have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
