However, on Sunday morning, I made a few last minute contacts, and then went to sleep so I could to work Sunday night. I think my total score was 12 points.
However, I have acquired two new QSL cards in the mail! I still get excited when I get them.
I spent most of Field Day down at the club station, taking advantage of the Air Conditioning! It was hot outside!

Hello Spotters,
This message is geared toward those who are Amateur Radio operators ("Hams"). There has been a change to the Sector 2 (Maricopa County and northwest Pinal County) Skywarn repeater. The new permanent frequency is 442.550 MHz with PL tone of 100. This will also apply to the weekly routine Net. Please update your records. If you have any Ham specific questions, please contact Ken Waters - N4PBY at [email protected] Austin Jamison NWS Phoenix One of the groups I belong to on LinkedIn.com has just finished up a long discussion on Community Emergency Response Teams and Amateur Radio Emergency Service.
A management workshop, based on Harvard business school techniques, divided 110 people into eleven groups of ten people each. The groups were asked to list all of the attributes that came to mind. After a period of time they were told to stop writing lists and vote on their top eight. Then all eleven groups combined their results into the following top eight attributes:
This piece is from 1993, but it’s still true to this day!
Let’s face it, for the fact that it is: some governments don’t really understand about Emergency Communications Units; they don’t really understand how to work with and utilize volunteers, including hams, some of whom are professional communicators. During a recent Twitter exchange with a Emergency Manager in Oklahoma, who is also an active Ham and a major proponent of #SMEM, I asked him if he was worried about a backlash from the ham community regarding the ongoing integration of Social Media into Emergency Management and Response.

While the presentation is old, the information is just as pertinent today as it was back in 1997. As a volunteer, you need to keep the following information in mind. ![]() The Directors in IARU Region 3 have voted to appoint Peter Lake, ZL2AZ, of Wellington, New Zealand, as the Chairman of IARU Region 3. He replaces Michael Owen, VK3KI, who passed away unexpectedly last month. Owen, who was also President of the Wireless Institute of Australia (WIA), had served as Region 3 Chairman since 2006. Ham Radio, also known as Amateur Radio, is a popular hobby and a service in which licensed participants operate communications equipment with a deep appreciation of the radio art. Most of the time, it’s the most fun you can have with a radio. It’s a way to talk with people around the world, or even orbiting the world; to send e-mail without any sort of internet connection and to keep in touch with friends across town or across the country. But it is called the “Amateur Radio Service” because it also has a serious face. It’s a very important emergency communications system too.
