“The Clay Center ARC at Dexter / Southfield Schools in Brookline will start October 5 and run 9 consecutive Tuesdays. The first session will be an introduction to amateur radio. The remaining sessions will use the ARRL video course.
Classes start each Tuesday evening at 7:00 PM.
All interested people are invited to attend.

“I need volunteers to help with ~50 8th graders who will be visiting the ship on Tuesday, October 5 between 10am and 2pm.
This is unusual for us because:
* It’s on a weekday during work hours.
* It’s not scouts.
I know that some of the regulars will not be able to make it because of work, so this would be a terrific opportunity for irregulars to step up to the plate!
Please email me at W1AI@hamtestonline.com if you can help.

The American Red Cross will host a training academy for people interested in becoming members of the Disaster Action Team on October 1-2. Disaster Team members are trained to assist victims of fires, floods, hurricanes, winter storms and other disasters.
The training academy will be held at the Cummings Center in Beverly. There is no charge for Disaster Training, however participants must be pre-registered.
The schedule for the training is:
10/1 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. Intro to Mass Care
10/2 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. Intro to Family Services
1:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Intro to Shelter Ops
All interested volunteers must first complete an Introduction to Disaster Services that can be down as a self-study or can be done in the chapter office.
For a volunteer application, a complete course schedule with course descriptions, and Introduction to Disaster materials, please contact the Greater Beverly Red Cross office at 978-922-2224 or the Greater Newburyport Red Cross office at 978-462-8243.

This is likely to be the last of the ham public service events for this year, so you can relax (except for the “real” disasters). This event was so good for the past three years that the Boston Athletic Association (BAA) Half Marathon is now in the category of “Fourth Annual.” The event got huge acclaim – largely because of the skills and experience of the organizers and support staff (we are definitely a part of that). The Half is run almost entirely in Boston (2% in Brookline), with 4500 local, national and international athletes. Proceeds benefit the Jimmy Fund.
Our team has been asked again to support communications for this event doing our usual medical, water and administrative tasks. We definitely need your help. Time is short.
The Half Marathon will be held on SUNDAY, 10 OCTOBER 2004. Time and other details are below. The course is along the length of the “Emerald Necklace” (as beautiful as you can get in Boston). The out-and-back route starts and finishes at Clemente Field in the Fenway. It follows the Riverway, Jamaicaway, and Arborway to the Franklin Park Zoo for a turnaround and return on almost the same route.
The weather is likely to be cool and the 13.1-mile course should not be a strain on the athletes. Water and medical stations are spaced appropriately. There are also assignments at several hazardous points. Our duties on the course will be to support these locations, but we also serve as observers of the runners, spectators and local residents (some of their streets are to be closed). Most stations serve both outbound and inbound runners. At Clemente Field, we have a number of fixed and roving medical assignments.
If you are assigned to a station on the course, and you wish to drive, you may go directly to the assigned location. A ham course Supervisor will deliver your identity (long sleeve) shirt. If you are willing to drive directly to your station on the course, I will send you a Vehicle Permit (as an email attachment in MS Word) for you to print out. Those assigned to course stations must be on site at 0700 so the Supervisor can meet you briefly and move on. The Supervisor will call your station as he approaches. Be ready and go to the Supervisor’s car for the ID shirt and any last minute information.
If you do not plan to drive to an assigned course station, you must arrive at Clemente Field at 0600. A parking lot for volunteers only will be located about three blocks away from Clemente. You will receive an ID shirt and any last minute information. There will be transportation from Clemente to the course station assignments.
Hams assigned to posts at Clemente Field must be present at 0700 for a briefing and the amenities. Keep in mind that parking in the Fenway area is limited, so allow time to find a space, use the volunteer parking lot, or take the T.
The area is T accessible from several directions. Parking (at that hour) will also be available at the Landmark Center (formerly the Sears store) on Park Drive at Brookline Ave. There is a charge for the Landmark parking.
The entire event should be over before 1130, and all roads will be (progressively) opened. This schedule is what is known now. Better details later.
Because the entire course is so compact, very few repeaters need be used. Our present plan is to use both 2-meters and 70-cm, both bands with CTCSS.
WE NEED YOU TO VOLUNTEER. As in the past, we are committed to reliable, professional performance, and the requirements below lead to this goal. Please note them and sign up quickly. Each ham must have his or her own radio and accessories – no sharing of equipment can be permitted during the event. Each ham must be self sufficient for the entire period, as we cannot assure partnered assignments.
1. For the duration of this event you are considered a member of the Boston Amateur Radio Club (BARC) and a BAA volunteer. BARC carries a liability insurance policy.
2. To assist in identification and security, you must wear a badge with your name and call sign. Your volunteer credential will be a special long-sleeve shirt provided at the beginning of the day.
3. Our communications support is provided only by licensed Amateur Radio operators, Technician class or above. Be sure to have your valid license (or a good photocopy) with you.
4. Because of the radio traffic congestion, you should have a full size antenna (that is, better than a minimal “rubber duck”) and a battery supply sufficient to run at your maximum power if necessary. While you will mostly listen and rarely transmit, the best guide is for 10 hours of battery capability. The ambient noise level may be high, so an inexpensive headset (not just an ear plug) is strongly recommended.
5. To present ourselves as professional and proficient, you must be neatly dressed. The bright orange “Emergency Communications” cap is essential for identification. Local residents and the media will be watching.
6. Expect the media. If you are interviewed, state that you are an Amateur Radio operator, and give only a very brief statement about what your assignment is. Then refer the interviewer to our public relations staff (call Net Control for direction). Please do not offer prolonged descriptions of the joys of ham radio.
7. You must be 18 years of age or older.
NOTE:
More hams are needed. Please spread the word in your local club and to your on-the-air friends! Anyone interested should contact me directly. We also need you to understand that although we must call for more hams, final staffing needs may not match the number of ham volunteers. Therefore, a very small possibility exists that we still may not be able to give everyone an assignment.
As the event date gets closer, instead of formal briefings, those who volunteer will receive an email with the assignment, a detailed description of the assignment site and other information.
If you can give this event your help, please contact me as soon as possible. We also need to know if your radio has 2-meters with CTCSS and if you have the 70-cm band. If you have any questions about participation, do not hesitate to contact me at once.
When you reply, please include the following information:
Your best email address for last minute information.
Can you open an MS Word email attachment?
Are available to drive, and, if assigned on the course (not assured), would you drive there directly?
Your shirt size.
If you have already informed me that you are available, please reply to this message anyway.

On Monday, September 27, 2004 starting at 4 PM, Ham Radio Outlet in Salem, New Hampshire will host a special presentation by an Icom representative on their new top-of-the-line Icom IC-7800 HF transceiver. The radio’s features will be described with the aid of PowerPoint slides. Additionally, an IC-7800 transceiver will be on display.
The general Amateur Radio public is invited to come and take a close look at this new, deluxe transceiver-to-come.
For more information, contact Peter Cantara, KI1M, Assistant Manager, Ham Radio Outlet, Salem, NH at 800-444-0047.
Eastern Massachusetts Section Manager Phil Temples, K9HI has written an opinion piece entitled Will Apathy And Indifference Destroy The Hobby? for your thoughtful consideration.
Phil Bradway, KB2HQ wrote:
“Following last year’s successful presentation at the Plymouth Library, the Genesis Amateur Radio Society (GARS) was asked to do a repeat performance this year. On July 17, we set up a couple of radios and an antenna for 20 meters to give the kids something to hear and do a bit of talking. Unfortunately, band conditions were poor.
However, Tom Hurley, K1TH, had a world prefix map and many QSL cards to show geography, ham radio style. Tom did his famous CW demo, using one of the rigs as a code practice oscillator. Each participant sent his/her name in code.
The kids really get a kick out of this! These kids are our future, so we tried to make it interesting.”

ARRL Headquarters has given the Framingham ARA its blessing for FARA’s November flea market.
In a letter dated September 14, 2004 to FARA’s Beverly Lees, N1LOO, ARRL Convention Program Manager Gail Iannone wrote, “We’re pleased to tell you that Director Frenaye has approved the application of the Framingham Amateur Radio Association to hold an ARRL approved hamfest in Framingham, MA on November 7, 2004.”
This santioned event is now listed on the ARRL Hq. web site at http://www.arrl.org/hamfests.html?dosel=1&subtype=section&selsect=EMA.
Approximately ten new Section Managers from across the United States attended a Section Manager’s Workshop September 17-19,2004 in Newington, Connecticut. The Section Managers heard talks from Headquarters employees regarding the various services offered by the ARRL, ranging from Field Services and Training to Certification and Continuing Education to Marketing and Public Relations. The SMs also received a large quantity of useful materials and handouts.
The weekend event included time for discussions about problem-solving and informal social networking, as well as an opportunity to tour ARRL Headquarters and operate W1AW. The SM Workshop is a regular event; it is held annually in Newington, Connecticut at ARRL Headquarters.
Also present was Eastern Massachusetts Section Manager Phil Temples, K9HI of Watertown. Temples, a three-term Section Manager, was invited by the workshop organizers to participate and to share his experiences as a veteran Section Manager.

“It was a very rainy day September 18 but it was a nice meeting and I was happy to meet a few new hams. The USS Salem Radio Club hosted the [Council of Eastern Massachusetts Amateur Radio Clubs] meeting onboard. ‘Ham Test on Line’ provided lunch and we provided tours of the ship.
As an ex-Navy radioman I gave tours of the radio rooms. Ralph, W1BT gave tours of the engine rooms and the rest on the ship.
KC1HO and NS1N made videos which will be edited and provided to local cable outlets. K1RV talked about the scouting program.”

ARRL Headquarters has given the Falmouth ARA the “thumbs-up” for its November flea market.
In a letter dated September 10, 2004 to FARA’s Ralph Swenson, N1YHS, ARRL Convention Program Manager Gail Iannone wrote, “We’re pleased to tell you that Director Frenaye has approved the application of the Falmouth Amateur Radio Association to hold an ARRL approved hamfest in Falmouth, MA on November 13, 2004.”

Attendees at a local area “Unschooling” Conference were introduced to Amateur Radio in a “non-teaching way.” The Third Live and Learn Unschooling Conference held August 27-29 in Peabody, MA featured an Amateur Radio workshop facilitated by attendee James Colburn, W6HJC, of Playa Del Rey, California.
“I came up with the idea of an ‘Amateur Radio Funshop,'” said W6HJC. “I scheduled three hours to show off ham radio in a ‘non-teacher’ kind of way. We are unschoolers.”
Colburn enlisted some local help from Rick Meuse, N1HID. “Rick brought with him his portable satellite antenna. Unfortunately, there were no good passes that day,” remarked Colburn, who added, “next time perhaps we can set up an ISS contact.”
“In a word [the funshop] was great,” concluded W6HJC. “Hopefully it will be much better the next time around.”
The August, 2004 EMA Station Activity Reports and Public Service Honor Roll totals have been posted to http://nts.ema.arrl.org under “Main Menu | STM Monthly Report“.

I need volunteers to demo amateur radio to scouts on the USS Salem. All three of the following events are from 3pm till 6pm on Saturday afternoons:
— Saturday 9/11/04 – 1 or 2 volunteers to work with ~20 scouts
— Saturday 9/18/04 – 4 or 5 volunteers to work with 100+ scouts. (This follows the morning CEMARC meeting on board the USS Salem.)
— Saturday 9/25/04 – 3 or 4 volunteers to work with ~50 scouts.
Those who have never helped on the USS Salem before are welcome and especially encouraged to participate. I will make sure that there aresufficient experienced volunteers to show the newbies the ropes!
Please email me at W1AI@hamtestonline.com to let me know if you will help. I know it’s a pain having to give a commitment in advance, but the ship needs to know in advance so they can schedule alternate activities if we cannot help out.
While I’m always happy for extra volunteers to show up unannounced, I’m especially grateful for the ones who commit in advance, as they are the ones that make this activity possible!
As for this Saturday’s event, I need a response TODAY.
Thanks,
JC Cunningham, W1AI

I am in real need of 20 hams for the Jimmy Fund Walk on September 19th. This is a very low key event compared to the Marathon. The assignments run from late morning to about 6 PM and are along the Boston Marathon route. Most of the locations are in the last half of the course. It is in support of the Red Cross First Aid stations and if I can get the hams on the transport busses. The only requirement is a 2 meter HT with tones and you must be at least 18 years old. Some walking is needed but it is not the same amount as the marathon.
Please contact me if you can volunteer. Talk it up with other to get them to volunteer. This is a very good cause and our support is important to its success. This is a very good first public service event.
If you have any questions, please contact me via email (w3eve@arrl.net) or cell phone 508-922-9688.
Thanks and 73

The WGBH Ice Cream FunFest will be held on Saturday, 18 September 2003. Note that this year it is only on Saturday! For many years the Boston Amateur Radio Club has responded to their request for communications to assist and protect the 8000 expected visitors at the WGBH (Public TV and FM) annual Ice Cream FunFest. It is held outside their studios on Western Avenue in Brighton.
To those who have participated in past years, I can assure you that your service received their greatest praise. To you and any newcomers, your help is needed even more this year to assist with crowd and parking management and emergency needs. Our operation begins at 0900 and should be over before 1400.
The area is compact enough to use 2-meter hand-helds on simplex. Helpful is an antenna better than the rubber duck that came with your radio, as well as battery capacity to last the day.
Not only is this a visible ham public service, but we (and all their visitors) get to sample the wares of the ELEVEN ice cream providers FREE. Eat all you can, but don’t get sick!
WGBH gives us some extra thanks by allowing BARC booth space to promote and demonstrate ham radio to the visitors of all ages. Every year this proves to be a great opportunity to introduce ham radio to the public. This date coincides with the ARRL designation of Public Awareness Day, so more materials are available. We plan to demonstrate Morse code to kids of all ages. In the past we have even stirred some dormant ham visitors back into operation. You can be of help here, too.
Time is short and your help is needed. Please contact me as quickly as possible. More details to follow. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
