A message from W8YS.....

  

  Hello, my name is Dennis Bombardiere, W8YS, and I live in Marion County, WV. We are maintaining this Web Site to keep amateur radio operators informed of various activities, and to provide information to those who might want to volunteer their services if and when an emergency situation develops. We hope that time never comes, but when it does, we must be prepared.

Let us not forget that amateur radio got its start as a public service. Amateur radio exists today because it is a public service.

    We have noticed many mistakes on traffic received on the WV Fone Net. Most of those mistakes are caused by failure to use the proper traffic handling procedures. To handle traffic better and cut down on mistakes,
