Reminder: Monthly Eastern Massachusetts ARES Net for December 2009

Hello to all…

A reminder that the monthly ARES Net for December is rapidly approaching. The monthly ARES Net for December is Monday December 7th, 2009, at 8:30 PM on the MMRA Repeater system. 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

In addition, if the Echo-IRLP node on the MMRA hub is available, we will likely link that to the New England Reflector system on IRLP 9123/Echolink Conference *NEW-ENG* Node: 9123.

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.

We will have several interesting announcements for the net that evening and we look forward to everyone’s participation. Updates will be posted via email and on the Eastern Massachusetts ARES Web Site at http://ares.ema.arrl.org     

Thanks for your continued support of ARES!

Respectfully Submitted,

Robert Macedo (KD1CY)

Special Events Station W1P- 111th Anniversary of the Loss of the Steamship Portland

 

 111th anniversary of the Loss of the Steamship Portland

On the evening of Saturday, November 26, 1888, New England was struck by the most destructive storm the region had ever experienced. The gale killed over 200 persons and wrecked or sank at least 140 major vessels. The best-known victim of the gale was the coastal steamer Portland, lost off Cape Cod with 191 people aboard. The steamer gave her name to the storm, and has since been memorialized in New England folklore and legend. 

The storm started quietly on the evening of the 26th of November, with a light but strengthening wind. Within hours it had grown to hurricane proportions and was creating havoc all along the coast. The winds raged all through the night of the 26th, all day on the 27th, and did not subside until the 28th, some 36 hours after the storm had started. Winds were clocked at up to 72 mph in Boston, and were probably even stronger along the coast southeast of Boston, especially on Cape Cod.

To call the damage widespread is a vast understatement. Houses were blown over and washed away all along the coast from Cape Cod to Portland, Maine. The coastline was littered with the wrecks and wreckage of dozens of vessels, large and small, smashed or sunk by the fierce winds and seas. In Provincetown harbor alone over 30 vessels were blown ashore or sunk. Damage along Boston’s south shore and Cape Cod was probably the worst; telegraph lines were brought down, railways washed out, and even the low scrub trees of Cape Cod were blown away. In Scituate, a small coastal community 30 miles south of Boston, the coastline was permanently altered when mountainous waves cut a new inlet from the sea to the North River, closed the old river mouth, and reversed the flow of part of the river.http://www.hazegray.org/features/1898gale/

Scouts get a sampling of Ham Radio

from the Brocton Enterprise Tuesday November 17, 2009

 

“Local Scouts recently took in the Jamboree-On-The-Air an annual Scouting and amateur radio event sponsored by the World Organization of the Scout Movement.  Thousands of amateur radio stations around the world participated giving Scouts a chance to exchange greetings all over the world.

 

For the Past two years Don Burke (KB1LXH) has put together a team of local hams form the Taunton Area Communications Group and the Whitman Amateur Radio Club to participate in the event with Cub Scouts at Camp Norse in Kingston.  Contacts were made with the Cape and Islands Council at Camp Greenough in Yarmouth, and Troup 53 Mattapoisett from the Narragansett Council.  Jeremy Breef Pilz (KB1REQ) was busy contacting stations in Florida, Kansas and Alabama,the Central Nottingham Scout District in Sherwood Forest and others from Illinois, Wisconsin, Estonia and the Check Republic….

 

At the end of the day the team put 233 cub scouts, scouts and brownies on the air and may have lit the spark for the next generation of hams…. “

 

Thanks to KB1LXH for a job well done!  And thanks to NI1X for this article.

MEMA Recommendations on Recent FCC Notice

The following is a memo from Massachusetts State RACES Radio Officer Tom Kinahan-N1CPE and MEMA Operations Manager Jon Dillon on the recent FCC Notice on paid employees and drills/exercises.

To All Massachusetts Amateur Radio Operators and Emergency Management Directors

As you may know, the FCC recently clarified it’s position on the operation of amateur radio stations
by licensed operators acting on behalf of an employer, including those who are employees of a
government agency, during drills and actual emergencies. Below is a link to this FCC notice.

Paid employees, of any organization, including government employees may not operate an amateur radio
station for their employer during a drill, unless a waiver is requested by and granted to the
government agency who is conducting the drill.

We reaffirm the importance of including Amateur Radio in emergency drills and exercises and we
encourage Emergency Management Directors to continue to take advantage of the skills and training
available in the licensed Amateur Radio community.

We recommend that amateurs follow all FCC rules, and not jeopardize their license and risk fines.
We also suggest that only volunteer amateur radio operators operate Amateur Radio communication
systems while participating in drill operations. It will be necessary for your local government to
request a waiver of the rules for specific drills, according to the procedure indicated in the
public notice, if paid employees will be expected to operate Amateur Radio Transmitters.  We request
that when and if your local government does request a waiver of the rules in this situation, that
you send a courtesy copy of your request to the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency –
Communications Division, by mail or fax, or through the Massachusetts State RACES Officer who will
be able to forward your information to MEMA.

We anticipate that MEMA will request waivers for a limited number of upcoming exercises involving
MEMA and power plant staff.

Thank you,

Eastern Massachusetts ARES "Mini-Exercise" to Support Cape Cod Regional Sheltering Exercise

Hello to all..

The following is an announcement on the Eastern Massachusetts ARES ‘mini-exercise’ for Saturday November 14th, 2009 from 10 AM-1130 AM. See announcement below:

Date: 14 November 2009

Time: 1000-1130 EST

This basic/low level ‘mini-exercise’ is sponsored by Eastern Massachusetts ARES. The short notice of the exercise is part of the exercise design. It is being conducted to simulate a disaster situation on Cape Cod that will require relief operators from our adjoining districts and coincides with the Cape Cod Regional Sheltering Exercise. 

EC’s and RACES officers can also gather the information from their group and pass it along with a single checkin. For this exercise, look at your schedule for the next week and provide a date and shift(s) you could be available to deploy to Cape Cod. If you would be unavailable, that is fine too. Just check in or let your ARES EC/RACES officer know. Please plan a 12 hour window. Two hours to travel and brief, 8 hours on shift, and 2 hours to debrief and travel home. For the exercise we are assuming 0800-1600, 1600-2400, and 2400-0800 shifts. No deployments will actually occur.

A brief checkin with this information is all that is requested. The information can be relayed via the following means:

Bridgewater 147.18 repeater

Fairhaven 145.49 repeater

Echolink Conference *NEW-ENG* Node: 9123/IRLP 9123

MMRA Repeater System (Linked up for the exercise like it is linked up for the Monthly Eastern Massachusetts ARES Net)

HF 3943 KHz (may move up or down in frequency depending on HF usage due to other exercises/SETs going on in the area)

Winlink to N1XTB@winlink.org or kd1cy@winlink.org (Those that cannot participate between 10 AM-1130 AM Saturday 11/14 can send an email to either of these addresses anytime between the time of receipt of this announcement and 1130 AM Saturday. – Also, please put //WL2K in the subject of the message so Winlink spam filters do not block or delay the message.)

Local ARES/RACES/SKYWARN frequency as determined by your local ARES EC/DEC/RACES Radio Officer.

Liaison to the Cape Cod repeaters/simplex as well as winlink liaison will be performed by the regional and sub-regional ARES net control centers that are co-loated at the town of Bridgewater and Acushnet EOCs.

It is noted that portions of Southern New England will be impacted by the coastal storm that has impacted the Mid-Atlantic states for several days. The storm will bring heavy rain and strong winds to the region. The worst impacts will be felt over Cape Cod and the Islands. We have determined that we will proceed with the drill as planned and anyone with SKYWARN reportable criteria or a real emergency should preface their message with ‘This is NOT a drill’. Any drill traffic, tactical or formal should be addressed as ‘This is a drill’. We appreciate everyone’s attentiveness and ability to multitask the mini-exercise with the coastal storm.

Exercise objectives

-Validate contact information and communicate with Emcomm operators

-Exercise the leadership to assemble communication resource information

-Net Control/liason to communicate the relief information to the Cape Cod ARES DEC

-Information will be relayed via voice/Winlink email on available relief head count and shifts to the CC ARES DEC.

Thank you for your interest in public service.

BARC assists the Zola House

The Zola Center for Adults with Disabilities (zolacenter.org)along with the Boston ARC held a licensing class at which 8 new Hams obtained their licenses. Now, BARC is assisting in getting those folks on the air from the community center.

Eric (K1NUN)  writes:

“It was a beautiful day for Donna (KB1QVT and director of the Zola Center), Jeff (KB!QVW), Jean (KB1QVV), Alex (KB1SSN), Tom (KB1P), Hank (K1QK), Phil (K9HI), Eric (K1NUN, and John Rice to assemble, build, and install two Ham Radio antennas at the Brigham House in Newton.

Getting an early start, Hank, Tom, and Eric inserted eye-bolt ring insulators at the sunroom corners. These would be the end termination points for the inverted-V antenna. Indoors, Jeff, Jean, Donna, and Alex built the Cushcraft AR270 V/UHF collinear antenna. Eric and Phil ran around distributing hardware, wire, and tools, and performing quality control on the Cushcraft. Hank and Tom, in the attic, mounted the inverted-V antenna at the top of the attic window  and draped the ends down to the standoff insulators and dropped the two coaxial cable transmission lines down to the sunroom. The MFJ pass-thru panel was cut to size and inserted in a rear window. Hank had hand-made a similar panel for the attic window to allow installing the V/UHF antenna indoors, inside the attic.

Jean, Donna, and Eric made several trips up and down, delivering tools, hardware, and encouragement.

Indoors, cables were attached to the pass-thru panel, into the corner cabinet, and it was done!

Tom connected the Boston Amateur Radio Club’s Yaesu FT-897 transceiver to test out the antenna. All worked as expected! Primarily, the V/UHF antenna is our first priority to allow visitors to connect and make contacts through local repeaters. Later, the inverted-V may need pruning for better matching on 20 meters and up through six meters, but the antenna is fine for casual short-wave broadcast listening.

John Rice showed up to pass his approval on the installation. John, by the way, was elected ward alderman just this week, and he continues to serve on the Brigham House Board of Advisors. He said he is pleased to see the Ham Radio antenna and station installation as a means to encourage greater participation in the House’s activities as a community center.”

Way to Go Gang !  A job well done!

South Shore ARES Reports Successful First Ham Radio Licensing Class

Hello to all..

The South Shore ARES group reports that it had its first successful Ham Radio licensing class. The class, which had 15 students, had all students pass the test and earning their Amateur Radio Licenses.

South Shore ARES District Emergency Coordinator, Phil McNamara-N1XTB, Eastern Massachusetts ARES Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator and Assistant Section Manager, Carl Aveni-N1FY, and NWS Taunton ARES-SKYWARN Operator, Phil McLaughlin-KB1CYO were the teachers of the class in Middleboro which was conducted over weekly sessions spanning approximately 1 month. “I’m really tickled.  The class taught by Carl, Phil McLaughlin and myself made a clean sweep at the VE session last night.  The Norwood VE team came down for the session.  We have 15 new hams.  One existing tech got his General.  One woman also took and passed the General after passing the tech” said Phil-N1XTB.

“The class was a mix of MRC, CERT, Fire Department, Police and others. It was a good group” Phil added. Efforts are now underway to schedule a Basic Emergency Communications Workshop for the group.

Congratulations to the students and teachers of this first Ham Radio licensing class for South Shore ARES!

The broadcast will not only reach the entire Commonwealth but also 38 states including Michigan, Ohio and Florida. It will also reach portions of Canada.

The interview will highlight:
1) Discussions on The Salvation Army as a reputable, reliable support responder to police, firefighters and all other disaster first responders for any and all disaster events – local, regional and national.
2) The response of The Salvation Army to the 9/11 Tragedy, an event that remains significant in our minds, even as we commemorate it today.
3) EDS Training Programs that will inform and equip our volunteers to provide mass care such as food & hydration, clothing, shelter, emotional & spiritual care, and reconstruction & re-establishment of devastated communities as they rise up from the ashes. The Salvation Army does all of these – depending on the need – both short-term and long-term.

The public can call-in with questions.   It is my sincere hope that we all set aside some time to listen, and even participate when we can to the forum.

Sincerely,
       Major William H. Bode
       Divisional Commander

LIVE FIELD EXERCISE REMINDER:
I also wanted to use this opportunity to remind anyone who has not yet responded the invitation to participate in the live EDS field exercise scheduled for Sat. Sept. 26th. This mock disaster drill will train the different response services we provide from feeding to emotional triage to Incident Command operations. The event will be at Camp Wonderland in Sharon, MA and is scheduled to take place from 8:45am until 3:30pm (with lunch being served from the canteens). This is a great opportunity to learn more about deploying to an actual disaster, as well as build your skills for the field. Please contact me if you are interested in attending or with any further questions. Thank you.
