DAREN of WV News November 9, 2008 (.852)
Kenneth Harris WA8LLM (304) 679-3470 wa8llm@yahoo.com
WOOD COUNTY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS, P.O. BOX 3328, PARKERSBURG, WV 26103

DAREN News, are articles and information about the Digital Amateur Radio
"Emergency" Network of WV, which operates on 145.69 MHz. Anyone having any
information about DAREN, or Amateur Radio in general, and would like to share
it with others, may send it to WA8LLM @ PKBGWV on 145.69 MHz, or to my E-Mail:
wa8llm@yahoo.com. A State Wide DAREN NET is operated every Saturday from 7:00
pm to 10:00 pm, and lately, before and after those hours. The DAREN Net
Announcement, showing the MAIN NCS, ALTERNATE NCS, NODEs accessible to both,
and the previous week's check-ins, are posted by Thursday on most of the Main
county DAREN PBBS'. The DAREN News can also be found on the wc8ec.com website.
I got an E-Mail from Roy Humes, N8RH, this week. Roy said that as soon as he
can, he well make a trip to the Hancock County NODE/PBBS of HANCWV/WEIRWV tower
site and take a look at what may have happened to the station. It's been off
for a few weeks. The tower site is only a few miles from Roy's house so when
he can get an appointment with the tower owner, he may get it back on the air.
The Wood County Emergency Communications group have been talking about starting
a Hamfest. They are looking at a date around the second Saturday in October.
Bill Davidson, N8JXO, who is the webmaster for the wc8ec.com website has placed
a survey looking for ideas for the Hamfest. To start out the group is going to
call it a Swapmeet, to see how it goes. They are still looking for a place to
hold the event. Look at the wc8ec.com website, and fill out the survey so they
can get some more ideas.
Since I was asked to fill in the position of West Virginia ARRL ARES Section
Emergency Coordinator (SEC), I've been sending out ARES Bulletins state wide.
Before I was made the SEC the bulletins were just going to a few stations in
the WV ARES District #3, and posted on a very few DAREN PBBS'. Now that the
bulletins are going out state wide they are being seen by a lot more Amateur
Radio Operators. If you have read any of the bulletins, and have an idea for
one, let me know. I've been writing the bulletins for the Wood County and
District #3 ARES groups since 1991. I was told once that if you haven't seen
an old movie, or heard an old song, then it will be new to you. Well, the
State Wide ARES Bulletins may be the same to you. I will be using some of the
old bulletins, when I can't come up with a new one.
There were 56 check-ins again to this week's State Wide DAREN Net. My wife
Dot, KC8HAI, who has been participating in the net since May 3, 1997, has
completed 600 check-ins. Steven O'Dell, N8SNR, who has been participating in
the net since April 2, 1994, has completed 400 check-ins. Both of these
operators will be receiving their certificates. My daughter Cathy Wotring,
KC8DJJ, needs only one more check-in to make 650. And, Brad Caribine, KC8TYU,
needs only one more check-in to make 250. Now that things have slowed down a
little bit for me, I'm going to get caught up on the certificates that several
operators are waiting for. Maybe by this time next week all those certificates
will be mailed out.
