2010 Eastern MA Field Day Directory Is On-line
The 11th Annual Eastern Massachusetts Field Day Directory contains some of the most comprehensive Field Day resource pages of its kind.
“We have rich data, such as local landmark directions, coordinates, site and club field day history, and links to multiple map sources and webpages for club and site,” says Bill Ricker, N1VUX, maintainer of the site.
Ricker would appreciate an email from new clubs in Class A or F, clubs with new sites, clubs whose details on their EMA directory need updating, or who are definitely not using the site they had last year. Email N1VUX at his arrl alias address.

Good Samaritan Hospital Approaches Eastern Massachusetts ARES for EMCOMM Support
Hello to all,
Eastern Mass. ARES has been approached by Good Samaritan Hospital in Brockton to develop a hospital/ham radio relationship for emergency communications. Mike Neilsen, W1MPN, Eastern Mass. Section Manager and I met with staff from Good Samaritan hospital and came to a preliminary agreement. We will be persuing a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with them in the very near future.
In the meantime, we would like to start recruiting for folks who might be interested in being a regular part of Good Samaritan’s Emergency Communications Response Team. As such, each participant will be registered with the hospital’s Volunteer Department and issued an appropriate Volunteer ID that will allow access to the Good Samaritan Campus. Arrangements will be developed for regular training exercises so that participants can get to know the hospital and its equipment.
Good Samaritan is working on developing a three hospital (i.e. Good Samaritan, Norwood, & St. Anne’s) grant program to obtain the necessary equipment.
If you are interested in becoming part of this program, please contact me at my email address listed below. Also, please forward along this request to all those hams who are not part of this list, who might be interested in participating in this endeavor.
Thanks,
Carl, N1FY – Assistant Section Manager/SEC for Eastern Mass. ARRL/ARES

Gov. Patrick Declares Amateur Radio Week in MA
Members of the Hampden County Radio Association successfully campaigned a state legislator to obtain from Governor Deval Patrick’s office a proclamation of “Amateur Radio Week” coinciding with the 2010 annual ARRL Field Day event.
According to HCRA’s Marty Bowen, W1MJB, the govenor’s proclamation was obtained through State Representative Angelo Puppolo. Bowen sent Puppolo an invitation to join the HCRA Field Day “in order to acquaint him with the HCRA and give him the opportunity to see amateur radio enthusiasts utilize ARRL field day to hone their emergency communication skills.” Several weeks later, Bowen received a phone call from Puppolo’s aide informing Bowen that the representative was unable to attend Field Day this year, but was interested in learning more about the HCRA and ARRL Field Day. During a series of e-mails and phone conversation with his Western Mass office, Bowen asked for Puppolo’s help in obtaining a proclamation from the Govenor Patrick “honoring the community and emergency communication service performed by Massachusetts amateur radio operators.”
The HCRA through Bowen was also successful in obtaining a citation from the Massachusetts House of Representatives acknowledging the Hampden County Radio Association for their “voluntary contributions through emergency communications to the towns and cities in Hampden County.”
“It is a welcome reinforcement of the govenor’s proclamation and a timely acknowledgement that the Massachusetts legislature is aware of the important emergency communication services provided to the Commonwealth and the many non government emergency relief providers by the amateur radio operators of Massachusetts,” remarked Bowen.
Kudos to the HCRA and W1MJB for this achievement on behalf of all licensed amateurs in Massachusetts.
Search Dogs Northeast (Non-Profit Organization) Seeking Amateur Radio/ARES Support
Hello to all..
The following announcement is about the Search Dogs of Northeast Non-Profit organization seeking Amateur Radio/ARES support for communications in search and rescue exercises and real events. See announcement below:
A non-profit search dog organization in MA and RI is looking for communication
support. They may need to conduct large area searches beyond the
capabilities of their existing radio’s.
Volunteers would work directly with the search dog teams – and would be
on short notice call- which is the current practice with the dog
handlers now.
Volunteers must be in good health – able to handle lengthy walks in
rough terrain in all weather conditions.
The teams have standards for support personnel that need to be met:
-CPR, and First responder first aid, or EMT, or higher EMS.
(Arrangements will be made to provide the first responder training
through fire department volunteers)
-You will have to pass each states courses for Navigation and Search.
-You will have to pass Massachusetts and Rhodes Island State police
criminal records checks
Volunteers will need to provide their own go-kit with food, water, or
other items.
Job will include tasks to relieve the dog-handler of distractions i.e.
Navigation support (personal GPS and skill using it desirable), map
reading, and radio communication via ham radio and other frequencies
allocated to the dog teams.
You will also be used as a subject for training searches, asked to hide
in remote places during training sessions.
Support may also include operating the search dog team base station.
Volunteers are expected to attend 9 training exercises with the dog
teams to get familiar with typical operations and the teams.
Interested hams please contact:

Former MEMA State Director Don Boyce Now FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator
Hello to all..
Please see information on MEMA State Director Don Boyce taking a position as the FEMA Region 1 Regional Administrator.
FEMA ADMINISTRATOR FUGATE APPLAUDS PRESIDENT OBAMA’S APPOINTMENT OF DONALD R. BOYCE AS REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR
WASHINGTON – Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Craig Fugate today applauded President Obama’s appointment of Don R. Boyce as FEMA Regional Administrator for Region I, which encompasses Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
“Regional Administrators are crucial to our ability to respond effectively to emergencies based on the needs of the communities we serve,” said Fugate. “Don Boyce is an experienced emergency manager at both the state and local level, and is uniquely qualified to lead our efforts in the northeast.”
Boyce has served as the Director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency since 2007, where he has directed the response and recovery efforts for multiple disasters, some resulting in State and/or Presidential Declarations of Disaster. He has also served as the State Coordinating Officer and the Governor’s Authorized Representative for two presidential disaster declarations.
A native of New York City, Boyce served with the New York City Emergency Medical Service and the New York City Fire Department before moving to the private sector as Emergency Management Director for a large multi-hospital and ambulatory care network prior relocating to Massachusetts.
Biography for Donald R. Boyce, FEMA Regional Administrator, Region I
Don R. Boyce was appointed Director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency in 2007, where he was responsible for developing, directing, and implementing a statewide all-hazards emergency management plan with state and local officials. He also served on numerous state emergency management commissions, and was on the Board of Directors for the National Emergency Managers Association, a member of the FEMA Regional Advisory Council, and a member of the Board of Directors for the North East States Emergency Consortium. During his tenure, Boyce also created the Emergency Management Directors Advisory Committee, opening communications from the state to the local communities and designed and implemented a mobile response capability bringing technology and resource management capabilities to remote disaster locations.
Prior to his position with the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, Boyce was responsible for emergency management for Continuum Health Partners, Inc., a multi-hospital and ambulatory care network in New York City where he worked extensively with state and local officials on surge initiatives, emergency response plans, and CBNRE initiatives. Boyce also enjoyed a full and distinguished career with both the New York City Fire Department and the New York City Emergency Medical Service.
Boyce has a Juris Doctorate from Brooklyn Law School and a Bachelor’s degree from Saint Francis College in Brooklyn. He is married to Patricia Simino Boyce and has two children; Lily and Luke.

Patriot Triathlon Assistance
Roland Daignault, N1JOY writes:
Hi Everybody,
The Patriot Triathlon is next weekend, June 19th, and we can use a quite few more radio operators to man the checkpoints. The Hams are providing communications along the bicycle and running courses for 2 simultaneous events. The Patriot half-triathlon, and Minuteman Sprint races. The Patriot courses are a 13 mile run and 56 mile bicycle (two 28-mile laps), and the Minuteman Sprint is a 4 mile run and 14 mile bike ride. That makes for a LOT of checkpoints, plus a few people at the start/finish to monitor the transition areas where the racers go from swimming, to bicycles, to running, Net Control, and if possible, one person to sweep the course and stay behind the last racer.
If you have ever been interested in doing a public service event, this is a great chance to participate. I will be hauling the HAMCOW to the race to use as our Net Control station Friday night, and the race organizer is providing a nice catered meal at the end of the day with a band playing music. The HAMCOW will be utilizing 2 Meters and 440 for communications, and if you have either as an HT or mobile, then you’re ready to help!
The race starts and finishes in East Freetown, MA, and winds through Rochester, Acushnet, Middleboro, and Lakeville. Please consider joining us for a nice day of supporting the racers, and promoting Ham Radio.
If you are interested in helping, please contact me at n1joy@arrl.net, or direct on my cell at: (617)-839-9081.
Check out the event web site at: http://www.patriottriathlon.com/.
I also have some photos of the 2009 triathlon event at: http://hamcow.net. Click on Past HAMCOW Events.
Please pass the word to anybody who might be interested in helping out with this event, or any of the other events coming up this season.

This is after the RACES Nets earlier in the evening. For frequencies that will be linked into the ARES Net on the MMRA Network, please see the following link from the MMRA web site and the repeaters that will be linked in will be through Hub 1:
http://www.mmra.org/repeaters/map.html

Make the first Monday of the month, “Emergency Communications Night” and check into your local RACES Net and then check into the ARES Net on the MMRA Repeater System. We look forward to your participation and remember, we are always looking for Net Controls to run the ARES Net.
