Some information Kevin Carney AE8L and Brian Jones AC5GL:
1. FIELD DAY: Kevin spoke with Paul, the President of SARC, and he said he would be glad for our Club to join SARC at Shavano Park for Field Day. SARC would like some of our members to volunteer to assist in getting equipment out of SARC storage and transport it to the Shavano Park location. SARC needs to know how many of our Club Members would like to set-up on Field Day. SARC would like to know if you will be using telephone, CW, Digital or any other method or combinations; they also need to know if you will bring your own power source or connect to their generator for power.SARC also needs volunteers to help set-up at the park and a volunteer to go to BLANCO BAR-B-QUE to pick up dinner for the Field Day personnel.
2. National Emergency Management Resources: Meeting was held at the National Emergency Management Resources location, 7451 FM3009, Schertz, TX. 78154 on 4/12. I believe the Government can hire them to assist in emergencies. They have command vehicles, hospital set ups, and many other forms of apparatus. They wish to get some feedback from Hams on uses and set-up of radios plus antennas, they would like some of our members to join them in working their emergencies. About 15 hams from SARC, AARO and SADRC were there. There may be more meetings in the future to help nail down NEMR’s communication plan.
