The ARES E-Letter August 19, 2009
Editor: Rick Palm, K1CE
The View from Flagler County
Here in Northern Florida, we have enjoyed the excellent leadership of new
Section Manager Paul Eakin, KJ4G. Eakin has been in office for eighteen
months, and in that short period of time he has been able to effectively
address several ARES issues that have simmered throughout the section,
including redistricting here in our area on the central east coast, with a re-
staffing effort currently underway.
Perhaps his finest achievement was due to his up close and personal approach
with disenfranchised emcomm operators in the major Orlando metro area of
Orange County, to bring that community back into the ARES fold. Eakin's style
of shuttle diplomacy among area clubs, individual operators, and the major EOC
staff was key to effecting the change. "He's a breath of fresh air," and "He
cares about us," were two comments I received from Orange County hams.
In an effort to revitalize ARES here in the new East Coast District, which now
comprises Flagler and Volusia (Daytona Beach area) counties, Eakin has called
a special meeting to be held this Saturday in Volusia. All amateurs in Flagler
and Volusia Counties who are interested in ARES can attend. Several key
Section officials will be on hand to support the effort. It is hoped that
volunteers will step forward to apply for ARES leadership positions during
this meeting.
Because of the challenges posed by the major storms of last year, it became
apparent that we needed a way to contact amateurs for deployment in a more
expeditious manner. The Northern Florida Database was just created and put on
line on June 20, 2009. It is a complete tool to keep records of training,
deployments, contact information, availability time frames, special skills,
equipment inventories, memberships in ARES and other emcomm groups, emergency
contact information for those on deployment, and other information. All
Florida State EOC ESF-2 requests for amateurs to be deployed will be
coordinated through the data base. It is the official application platform for
ARES registration.
Eakin also works closely with Florida EOC officials in Tallahassee, including
well-known veteran John Fleming, WD4FFX, a long time supporter of state
Amateur Radio emcomms. Together, they sponsored a hugely successful conference
recently at the Tallahassee facility. ARES expenses were covered by funds from
the FEOC, and several key staffers made presentations. ARRL Southeastern
Division Director Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, Vice Director Jeff Beals, WA4AW, and
Assistant Director Blanche Sarratt, N4LUV, were also in attendance to support
the conference. A new Northern Florida ARES Plan is being drafted and should
be completed soon.
As we watch the Atlantic off the coast of Africa spin up embryonic cells of
weather potentially destined for the magnificent Florida peninsula, it is
reassuring that the state has an ARES program that is seeing new vitality with
not only vigorous new SM Paul Eakin, KJ4G, at the helm of Northern Florida,
but also with the seasoned veterans like Southern Florida SM Sherri Brower,
W4STB, and West Central Florida SM Gerald Turner, N4GD. Florida ARES is ready
for whatever comes over the horizon.

ARRL Board of Directors Considers EmComm Issues
-----------------------------------------------
The ARRL Board of Directors held its Second Meeting of 2009 July 17-18 in
Windsor, Connecticut, under the chairmanship of President Joel Harrison, W5ZN.
A number of issues of concern to ARES and emcomm operators were considered.
The Board established a national-level appointment of Emergency Liaison
Station (ELS), as part of the ERILS Program (Emergency Radio Internet Linking
System) to tie ARRL Headquarters to affected areas during disasters via Voice
over Internet Protocol (VoIP) to HF or VHF /UHF linking.
The Board authorized the President to appoint an ad hoc committee to prepare
guidelines for use by the amateur community and others to identify
inappropriate uses of Amateur Radio, while preserving our role of providing
communications during times of disasters and for public service events. The
Board asked the committee to present its findings to the Executive Committee
within 30 days.
Questions and comments on these or any ARRL policy issues can be sent to your
ARRL Division Directors.
EmComm East Slated for October to feature WJ1B
----------------------------------------------
Amateur Radio operators pride themselves on the ability to get the message
through "when all else fails" during a disaster. Amateur Radio emergency
communication plays an important role in helping disaster relief organizations
communicate when land lines, cell phones, and other traditional modes of
communication become overloaded or fail.
EmComm East is an ARRL-sanctioned Amateur Radio emergency communications
conference, where operators involved in emcomm can attend training sessions on
technical topics, learn from served agencies, obtain VE testing for license
upgrades, and interact with other emcomm operators from all over the area.
EmComm East will be held on October 3, 2009, in Rochester, New York. The
featured speaker this year will be ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer,
WJ1B. Sign up for e-mail announcements or subscribe to an RSS feed, and keep
informed of new developments in this exciting opportunity.
$30 pre-registration is required, breakfast and lunch included, and seating is
limited. For more information or to register online, visit EmComm East, or
send an e-mail.
Alabama ARES Member Wins Statewide Volunteer of the Year Award
--------------------------------------------------------------
Tom Cash, KI4VFV, a Madison County ARES volunteer, recently won the Alabama
Association of Emergency Managers (AAEM) 2009 Volunteer of the Year award. The
Huntsville-Madison County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) is proud of their
nominee for this annual, statewide competition.
Cash serves Madison County in a variety of disaster preparedness and response
organizations as an Amateur Radio operator, a Community Emergency Response
Team (CERT) member, a stream monitor for flooding conditions, and a volunteer
for the Be Ready Family program.
Recognizing a need for an organized method of monitoring streams and reporting
meaningful information back to EMA, Cash spent his own time and money to go to
numerous potential flooding locations in Madison County and take pictures of
the sites. He also developed a method of measurement for volunteers in the
field and EMA to consistently report stream levels.
The award was presented at the 2009 Alabama Association of Emergency Managers
Conference in Mobile. -- Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, ARRL Southeastern Division
Director
Tip: D-STAR Transfer File for any Radio
---------------------------------------
Les Rayburn, N1LF, forwarded this tip from D-STAR coordinator KG4EUD: This
file works great for converting any D-STAR radio file to work with any other
D-STAR radio. Just convert it to that radio and upload it, and all of your
radios will be configured in the same manner. I just uploaded my ID-800 to
2820 and it worked just fine with no problems. It was very quick and very
simple. -- Randall Landers, KG4EUD, Alabama ARES Region 7 DEC; Calhoun County
ARES EC; Calhoun County EMA RACES Commander; Cheaha Mountain D-STAR
Administrator; and Coldwater Mountain D-STAR Administrator
Amateur Radio Station WX4NHC Featured In National Commercial
------------------------------------------------------------
WX4NHC, the Amateur Radio Station at the National Hurricane Center (NHC), is
featured in a 60 second radio spot for Duracell batteries. The commercial,
which begins airing this month, highlights the efforts of an all-volunteer
army of ham radio operators for WX4NHC. Narrated by actor Jeff Bridges, it
describes the important role that radio amateurs play during severe weather
conditions -- enabling communications with emergency medical teams, police and
fire departments -- when the power goes out. The narration underscores the
importance of a reliable battery to power the portable ham radios, which are
crucial to WX4NHC's work. Listen to the spot here.
"This commercial is being played nationally during hurricane season and will
help promote awareness of Amateur Radio and the public service we do to
provide emergency communications, especially during and after hurricanes, when
we have experienced complete electrical and conventional communications
blackouts for periods of days and weeks," WX4NHC Assistant Coordinator Julio
Ripoll, WD4R, told the ARRL. - ARRL Letter
Letters: COM-L Training
-----------------------
It's becoming clear that the new Communications Unit Leader (COM-L) Type III
training is the recognized standard for emergency communicators. ARES leaders,
especially at the DEC and above level should try to complete this training if
slots are available locally. Here is some additional information that was
published recently on this course that may be of interest to others. - Les
Rayburn, N1LF, Alabama SEC (retired)
The Office of Emergency Communications (OEC) is offering the "All-Hazards Type
III Communications Unit Leader (COML) Training and Implementation" course. The
OEC supports the ability of emergency responders and government officials to
communicate in the event of disasters, acts of terrorism, or other man-made
disasters. It works to ensure interoperable and operable emergency
communications nationwide.
COML is a position under the Logistics Section of the Incident Command System
(ICS). The course trains emergency responders to be communications unit
leaders during all-hazards emergency operations, significantly improving
communications across the multiple disciplines and jurisdictions responding to
an incident. COML responsibilities include developing plans for the effective
use of incident communications equipment and facilities, managing the
distribution of communications equipment to incident personnel, and
coordinating the installation and testing of communications equipment. For
information regarding the COML course or course dates and locations, visit the
SAFECOM program Web site.
Linn County (Iowa) ARES Receives 2009 Governor's Volunteer Award
----------------------------------------------------------------
Iowa Governor Chet Culver wrote "It is with great pleasure we are writing to
inform you that [Linn County ARES] has been selected for a 2009 Governor's
Volunteer Award for outstanding contribution of volunteer service to your
community. Your nomination was submitted by the Linn County Emergency
Management Agency. The devotion of volunteers like you helps Iowa consistently
remain in the top 10 states in the nation for its volunteerism rate. Thank you
for contributing your time, dedication, and talent to make a tremendous
difference in our state!"
"This award belongs to all the amateur operators who stepped forward and
served Linn County during the flood of 2008," said Scott Haney, N0GUD, EC Linn
County ARES. "My hat is off to each and every one of you who has chosen to
serve our community so well. I hope you will continue to do so in the future."

USVI ARES Hams Aid Rescue Squad To Solve Public Safety Interference Issue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you live on a remote island with numerous mountains and valleys,
communication can be tricky. Add interference that blocks the main
communications frequency used by the local emergency rescue squad, and you've
got a disaster waiting to happen. That's what responders and residents on St.
John in the US Virgin Islands recently found themselves facing.
On June 12, the primary repeater output frequency for St. John Rescue was
completely blocked by a 2-tone AFSK signal; this continued for more than a
week. Because St. John Rescue uses the frequency to dispatch, monitor and
provide two-way communications during emergency calls, it was vital that the
cause of the problem be detected and corrected - for public safety reasons.
Luckily, some members of Rescue are also members of ARES; those individuals
solicited additional help from the FCC and searched for the source of the
interference. Working to resolve this serious problem were St. John ARES
members Paul Jordan, NP2JF, Mal Preston, NP2L, and George Cline, KP2G - all
members of the St. John Amateur Radio Club.
Pinpointing the problem required looking at available clues: the sound the
interference made and the fact that interference did not directly affect
operation of a second Rescue repeater. St. John Rescue Chief Gilly Grimes and
Paul Jordan, NP2JF, used hand-held Yagi antennas to "fox hunt" for the source
of interference using triangulation. To their surprise, the signal was being
received off the back of the antennas and coming in very strongly given that
the source turned out to be 32 miles away from a tower on Mount St. Georges on
St Croix. The carrier frequency was just 7.5 kHz above the Rescue frequency of
158.7525 MHz; upon closer inspection, the problem was isolated to a repeater
that's part of the new US Virgin Islands territory-wide trunking system. This
transmitter was licensed for and was putting out 120 watts with a pass band of
50 kHz, and was being tested as the control channel.
Rescue's second repeater -- not impacted by the interference -- operates at an
output frequency of 159.660 MHz -- far enough away from the trunking frequency
being tested to avoid being affected. (This second repeater serves areas not
covered by the primary repeater. So, until the problem was resolved, a large
part of St John was left without reliable Rescue emergency radio
communications.) Once the source of the problem was identified, the
interference was turned off on June 19. -- Phyllis Benton, NP2MZ, ARRL PIO, US
Virgin Islands
Tip: On Ambient Noise in EOCs
-----------------------------
Having worked for more than 35 years in communications at various
communications centers including major airline reservations centers, I have
found a cheap and good looking solution is to carpet walls and partitions in
radio rooms. Carpet ends can be used with different colors to denote groups
and sections. Be careful of the glue used to secure carpet to walls. We also
discovered that green hue fluorescent lamps work well with computer screens. -
- David Smith, KB5PMX, Arlington, Texas
My ARES group has access to high quality Heil headsets and boom microphones.
We tend not to use these shared devices due to health concerns, just like most
people would not share a comb or hairbrush. Are there any healthy and cost
effective alternative options other than each ARES member purchasing and
bringing their own compatible gear? -- Steve Fleckenstein, N2UBP, EC, Orange
County, NY ARES
Letters: On What Makes a Good EC
--------------------------------
Your editorial on what makes a good EC [July issue, The View from Flagler
County] was right on target. I am responsible for all of the communications
and logistics for a County EOC, as an employee of the County. Over the years
(almost 20 years with the current County, and over 25 years total in Emergency
Services and communications), I have witnessed exactly what you are writing
about. It is about time someone wrote an article like this! I think this
should be mandatory reading for all ARES people. And be included in yearly
training. -- Jon Eckel, W9JME, Luck, Wisconsin
Your comments in the July issue on what makes a good EC were great. I would
like to add that they also apply to the SEC and DECs also. -- Bill Albert,
AD5TD, RACES RO Region 3 Alt., Refugio County, Texas
I thought you brought out some very good key points on the qualities needed in
an EC. I agree with most of what you said. I believe you should have further
clarified your comment "The EC should be physically fit." Fitness is not an
issue for me, but I do not believe everyone should have to be "physically fit"
-- what do you mean by that? If someone has a disability, do you believe that
impacts their ability to perform the function of EC?
You also stressed allegiance to the chain of command: "A good EC respects the
chain of command from the DEC, to the SEC and finally to the SM. A good EC may
respectfully disagree with his senior officials, but gets behind their
decisions and meets their requests, once they are made. A good EC understands
the need for tolerance, understanding and acceptance of other points of view."
I fully understand what you are saying here, but something is missing. ARES is
a service organization and, as you have said, we have served agencies. In most
organizations, there is a concern for internal customer service as well as
external customer service. Truly successful organizations manage both well. I
understand there are wide variations in the ARES organization. There are some
that present ideal models, others a model of how not to do things. The
principal problem is one of internal customer service.
Perhaps the point I would make is clarified by an SEC statement made directly
to me that ARES "is not a democracy." This SEC believed in running a volunteer
organization like it was a military unit. There are a number of other
incidents and issues over the years I could cite.
In an effort to be constructive, it would be interesting to see similar
articles for the DEC, SEC and SM positions. The best EC is doomed to fail if
not supported effectively! I make these comments as I believe in ARES and want
to see a strong viable ARES in all areas of the country. -- George Andrews,
N1YAE, Seymour, Connecticut
Your comment that "critical is the character of the individual and his or her
true understanding of what motivates people and how they can be led by example
and good people skills" is the single most important aspect of volunteer
management, but seems to me to be the most overlooked by your column. Leading
by example is only one of the many skills a good leader will have. Most
importantly, developing trust with the volunteer is paramount. When a
volunteer knows "you have their back," they will move mountains for the team.
You and I have a different view of the volunteer spirit, however: Volunteers
cannot be managed like an employee, and that is the single most overlooked
point in volunteer organizations. Many ECs fail to realize what motivates the
volunteer, and until they do, their organizations tend to be cliquish and ones
where the number of active volunteers is very low frequently because of the
bad politics within the organization. The good EC will recommend assignments
that play to the strengths of the organization rather than take assignments
which don't.
A good organization will, as you point out, keep the internal politics
internal. Good ECs' organizations will be courted by served agencies. They
will develop a reputation for excellence, and it's this reputation that will
open stubborn EOC doors. It's not something that happens overnight, but rather
something that is planned for the long term and exploited when appropriate.
A good EC unites by evaluating his or her team and ensures the assignments fit
the individual, and doesn't try to force the individual through a molding
process. Every team needs people, even those who can't manage a net, those who
have negative aspects of their personality (ones you wouldn't put with
agencies), and those who just want a simple assignment. Knowing and respecting
the capabilities of each and every member of your team is far and away the
most important aspects of an EC's job. Respecting the volunteer's capability
and self confidence is a tremendous leadership skill that is often overlooked.
When you have a volunteer's trust, you are a leader.
I lead by example, first to arrive and last to leave on events or activations
I manage. I don't put dress code limitations on our volunteers, but I do
notice those who present a professional appearance and give them assignments
accordingly.
My parting comment is that successful volunteer organizations worry more about
their volunteers than they worry about the served agencies. This is the
characteristic of many good companies to work for as well. Caring about your
team produces highly motivated volunteers, who will rise to the needs of the
served agency. When a volunteer knows you won't abuse their trust, that
volunteer will go to the end of the earth to support the operation. It's all
about the volunteer! -- Rick Aldom, W7STS, ARRL Arizona Section Emergency
Coordinator
I am the Emergency Coordinator for Garfield County, Oklahoma. I read your
editorial and came away feeling somewhat disheartened. I have never considered
myself the best EC in the state, but I try to make sure that our group is as
prepared as possible for any communication emergencies that might arise. After
reading your opening lines I started doubting my capabilities.
I have done all I can to prepare myself and our group for activation and to
make a professional appearance, but as I read your comments I began to feel
like I wasn't qualified and maybe even doing our state ARES organization a
disservice by holding the position. It dawned on me that I might not have what
it takes to reach these high standards.
I know you wouldn't discourage anyone from filling the EC position and trying
to do their best but the guidelines you listed are high up on the pedestal. I
wish there were more avenues in place at the League level to help train and
support the EC, at no cost. There needs to be more resources available to the
individual EC that can be drawn from to help advance that person's level of
preparedness and confidence. How many individuals might be willing to take the
appointment if they knew there was someone they could turn to for assistance?
And how many current ECs might feel more qualified after going through formal
training? We need a way to achieve these high standards. The EC position may
be where the "rubber meets the road and you need good deep tread" but that
tire will wear out prematurely if it doesn't have a good alignment. - Mike
Cofer, KD5OFF, Enid, Oklahoma
I agree with almost everything you wrote regarding "What makes a good EC?",
but I'm unsure of your statement that "The EC should be physically fit".
Physical fitness can mean different things to different people. What
particular physical abilities do you see as essential to the EC role?
Certainly, if high-stress situations put someone at significant risk for
health problems, that person should not be an EC. However, many people who
would not be classified as "physically fit" could still be very effective ECs.
Could you envision a disabled ham being a good EC? What about the multitude of
hams, myself included, who have the typical "middle-age ham spread," who are
not "physically fit" by most definitions? If a ham knows her/his limitations,
and has people who can reliably perform actions that he/she cannot, I believe
she/he can be a very effective EC by meeting your other qualifications. - Ed
Thierbach, AB8OJ, Ann Arbor, Michigan
That was a great article in the ARES E-Letter and I have printed it out for
our club meeting Thursday. This really tells the EC just what they need to
know and how they should do their job.-- Fred Jones WA4SWF, AEC, Big Sandy
ARC, Kentucky
Opinion: Field Day - What It Really Is
--------------------------------------
The debate is always the same: "It's a contest!" argues half of all Field Day
operators. "No, it's an emergency preparedness event," counters the other
half. And so, back and forth it goes, year after year. I finally decided what
Field Day is.
Field Day clubs happily announce their procurement of a 50 foot communications
van from their OEM, and reserve the sheltered pavilion on the ocean with rest
rooms and BBQ grills. Their planning meetings start in January, a full six
months ahead of the event.
This is not realistic for an actual emergency. I live in south Florida, prone
to disaster. When a communication crisis hits here, hams don't operate from
pavilions, 50 foot air conditioned vans or even tents. Many end up in their
own houses without commercial power nor outdoor antennas, which are blown
down.
If you want to practice your skills as a disaster communicator, then you need
to participate in the annual SET (Simulated Emergency Test), a nationwide
exercise in emergency communications, administered by Emergency Coordinators,
District Emergency Coordinators, Section Emergency Coordinators and Net
Managers. The SET weekend gives communicators the opportunity to focus on
their emergency-communications capability while interacting with NTS nets.
Back to Field Day: Planners consider who is going to bring the chili, what
software should be used for logging and what call sign would bring the most
prestige. Does this sound like planning for an emergency? No.
So Field Day must be a contest, right? Wrong. Even the most serious contest
and Field Day operators admit that they are just out there to have fun. The
camaraderie generated by getting the club and their families together to
socialize is the main objective. Competition is not a priority.
So what is Field Day, really? Field Day is our annual public relations event.
Your PIO should be the most important player. He/she should be inviting local
and county officials like the Emergency Manager, Fire Chief, Police Chief,
County Sheriff, hospital administrators, CERT leaders, and representatives
from ARES/RACES groups. The media should be invited. So should the public.
Prepare press kits, exhibits and hands-on projects for the kids in attendance.
And be prepared to deal with the public as much as you do with your food menu.
Have a Tour Guide on hand, and an Information Table, easy-to-understand
handouts, and well-spoken representatives to discuss our contributions to the
community.
We wonder why we heroes are so unsung. It's our own fault. We have to take
advantage of the two days a year on Field Day when we can really blow our own
horn - to let the public know we are here, what we do and why we do it. -
Warren Rothberg, W4WR, former ARRL New Hampshire Section Manager and New
England Division Vice Director
K1CE For A Final
----------------
I was saddened to receive the following from Les Rayburn, N1LF, a frequent
contributor and one of the finest SECs in the country: "It is with a heavy
heart that I must announce my resignation as Section Emergency Coordinator for
Alabama ARES. During my brief tenure, it's been my honor to work with some of
the most dedicated Amateur Radio operators that I've ever known. I've also
been grateful to get to know our County EMA Directors, State EMA personnel,
dedicated first responders, and served agencies around the state." Best
wishes, and good luck, Les!
I received this kind condolence note from fellow Northern Florida ARES Net
member John Reynolds, W4IJJ: "Sorry to hear about your loss. I just wanted to
tell you that even though you might unplug your gear, the EMP from the strike
will destroy your equipment. I have sustained several hits and found damage to
equipment just laying on a shelf. On one occasion, the pulse was so strong,
the induced currents melted the wire tie which was wrapped around a loaf of
bread, exploded my G6 vertical, killed the front end of an IC28H which was
laying on my work bench and blew a hole in a burner eye on the stove. That
strike was 100 feet away to a pine tree! Good luck on getting your gear
repaired."
And one more: "Sorry to hear about your lightning strike. I too went through a
similar experience several years ago: I had a direct strike to the tower,
which hit my Ringo Ranger. The tuning stub on it was rectangular and it turned
into a circle. I had all coax and rigs unplugged - the lightning came in on
the ground attached to the rigs. I lost my ICOM HF rig and 2 meter all-mode
rig. The big question is to ground or not to ground? Now, I unplug and
disconnect all the time. - Steve Morgan, W4NHO, Owensboro, Kentucky
Well, one more: "It was the most painful story I have read in months. It
physically hurt to read about your equipment lost to the lightning strike. In
a way, it can be like losing your own family members -- especially a Collins.
Glad you were not operating at the time. Good luck on swift insurance
settlements and rebuilding. - Brian Fernandez, K1BRF, Washington Depot,
Connecticut
Thanks everybody and see y'all next month, 73! -- Rick K1CE
