Dear NC SKYWARN ECs:
First, I want to thank all of you for your vigilance and on-air support this past weekend. FYI if you haven’t seen the attached PDF file already, the graph compares the number and force of tornadoes which hit NC in the 1984 and 2011 events. Approximately twice as many people lost their lives 27 years ago, and we can say that SKYWARN was one of the contributors which helped to lessen such tragedy this time around.
Events over the past weekend thrust North Carolina into the national spotlight. Numerous sources have contacted me over the past three days to ask about Ham Radio’s role. Because tornadoes tend to confine their devastation to narrow swaths, there appears to have been little communications disruption, so ARES was not formally activated. These storms were primarily a SKYWARN story. I am aware of the role played by the Triad, Central Carolina and Newport SKYWARN organizations, but have not heard of SKYWARN activations elsewhere.
I would appreciate if you could please send to SEC Tom Brown, N4TAB, and me by Thursday a brief report of your SKYWARN organization activated, and tell us hours of activation, amount and type of traffic and reports, names and callsigns of ops with significant reports, areas impacted, etc. ARRL is seeking such information, and Ham media outlets like QST and CQ will be looking for information too.
To coordinate any regional and national media inquiries, I am requesting that you not submit such information yourselves, but work through our NC Public Information Coordinator (PIC) Woody Woodward, K3VSA. If you pursue local media coverage in your area through your local ARRL PIO http://www.ncarrl-pio.org or on your own, please share your efforts and results with Woody at [email protected]
Finally, I would appreciate if you could please take a few minutes to review the SKYWARN page on the NC section website at http://www.ncarrl.org/ares/skywarn/index.html In looking at it, I am sure there is information which needs updating. If you have corrections or updates, please send them to the webmaster and Official Bulletin Station (OBS) Susan Langley-Jones, WA4AKB, at [email protected]
I look forward to thanking many of you in person this weekend at RARSfest. If you go, I’d appreciate if you could please attend the NC ARRL forum at 12:30 PM so we can recognize you for your efforts. On behalf of all Ham Radio operators and North Carolinians , thanks for all you do.

Thanks Frank, the Section Manager has already sent out his plan of action on this matter, somewhat similar to yours and the ARRL will help us get the experts together on this matter, that is what we pay our dues for. We all need to be patient and work together and make sure the best possible outcome comes from this, for current amateurs in the county and for future amateurs. I already have a document worked up on the importance of amateur radio as an emergency service to give to those members of the committee who do not know about amateur radio. I noticed in your email (and it was probably an oversight or you did not have their email address) that the leadership of the local ARES group was left out of your email. I have copied this to them so they are aware of your thoughts on the matter. I ask that you please in the future when discussing this matter (this goes for all that have been copied on this email), please include the following in your emails.

the committee Al Whatley, Assistant Emergency Coordinator [email protected] Thank you everyone for your cooperation, this is not a time to put ourselves or our groups first, this is a time for all of us to come together in one accord for the amateur radio operators of Cleveland County and for the future operators. We all need to work together for the best possible outcome on this and after hearing some of the planning boards thoughts and ideas on the matter, we've now got an uphill climb to get back to where we need to be but with patience, prayers and the cooperation of everyone working together, we can come up with a solution that will be best for all involved.
Thank you,

For many of
you, this email will arrive just before tonight’s
county commissioners meeting, so I hope you will share
this with other Hams who
There has been
much discussion about the proposed antenna tower ordinance. I
want to commend all those who have worked to life the
restriction that antennas in Cleveland County be confined only
to industrial zones, and instead be permitted in all zones.
Such an approach
Tonight is not the time to raise these issues at the county commissioners meeting. Our understanding is that the Planning Director plans to recommend that the county commissioners table the proposed ordinance and refer it to an “advisory committee” to resolve remaining issues. We welcome the creation of such a committee which will bring the expertise of all parties together to forge an ordinance that can meet the needs of Hams and the county while being compliant with state law. We look forward to seeing the next phase of proposals which will lead to an ordinance that should serve all well.

HLS grants now are allocated through the 9 DPR
Regions (Domestic Preparedness Regions) in NC. There
is a hierarchy and all Counties in each DPR are in
contention for all available funds in that DPR. The
voting contingents decide how the monies will be
allocated within each DPR and it's brutal. A well
written, supported and lobbied proposal may win a
DPR approval and then face State-level limits of
funds availability.
Most EOCs have funds that can be allocated to purchase equipment to support ESF-x support activities. UASI funds are available for training through State-sponsored courses, but I'm not aware of anything beyond that. We'll have some info forthcoming about this specific topic in October. 73, Tom N4TAB NC SEC ----------------------------------

We
were able to get a small grant
from your local
Wal-Mart. You would
probably have to be a 501 ( c )
( 3 ) organization to get one,
but you might be able to get it
through your
Emergency Management
without being a 501 ( c ) ( 3
). I don't know how likely you
are to get this as I applied for
a second grant about 4 months
ago and have not heard anything
from them, but it is a
possibility.

Dear Fellow NC PIOs: As part of the upcoming changes on April 1st, I’ve asked Section Manager Tim Slay, N4IB, to appoint Woody Woodward, K3VSA, as the section Public Information Coordinator, effective immediately. I’ve worked closely with Woody for the past four years, and I’m sure you’ll agree he has the commitment and enthusiasm to not only maintain the fine PIO operation we have in the section, bit to expand upon it and bring it an even higher level. Woody has been helping me behind the scenes to update the NC ARRL PIO page at www.ncarrl.org to prepare for the transition, and you’ll see those results shortly. It’s been my pleasure to have served as section PIC since November of 2004, and I look forward to continuing to work with you all as Section Manager after April 1st. Please join me in welcoming Woody.

On Behalf Of
Bill Morine N2COP
Bernie Nobles, WA4MOK, has resigned as Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC) and Tom Brown, N4TAB, has agreed to serve as his replacement. Bernie served as SEC since 2003 and indicated he wanted to spend more time with family. During his term ARES made great strides in improving the ICS credentialing of county ECs , streamlining relations with state agencies and upgrading digital EmCOMM applications through Winlink. He provided steady leadership during a time of tremendous technological and organizational change, and we wish him and his wife, Phyllis, well. Tom has served as Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator (ASEC) for the Central Branch, and has been instrumental in improving Amateur Radio response capability at the state Emergency Operations Center (EOC). A strong proponent of interoperability, Tom will expand integration of Amateur Radio in the state’s emergency communications plans. We appreciate Bernie’s accomplishments and we welcome Tom as North Carolina ARES moves towards 21st century EmCOMM solutions.

SB QST @ ARL $ARLB013 ARLB013 FCC Looks to Lower Fees for Vanity Call Signs ZCZC AG13 QST de W1AW ARRL Bulletin 13 ARLB013 From ARRL Headquarters Newington CT April 14, 2010 To all radio amateurs SB QST ARL ARLB013 ARLB013 FCC Looks to Lower Fees for Vanity Call Signs The FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and Order (NPRM) on April 13 seeking to lower the fee for Amateur Radio vanity call signs. Currently, a vanity call sign costs $13.40 and is good for 10 years; the new fee, if the FCC plan goes through, will go down to $13.30 for 10 years, an decrease of 10 cents. The FCC is authorized by the Communications Act of 1934 (as amended) to collect vanity call sign fees to recover the costs associated with that program. The vanity call sign regulatory fee is payable not only when applying for a new vanity call sign, but also upon renewing a vanity call sign for a new term. Instructions on how to comment on this NPRM are available on the FCC Web site at, http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/howtocomment.html . The vanity call sign fee has fluctuated over the 13 years of the current program -- from a low of $11.70 in 2007 to a high of $70 (as first proposed in the FCC's 1994 Report and Order). In 2007, the Commission lowered the fee from $20.80 to $11.70. The FCC said it anticipates some 14,800 Amateur Radio vanity call sign "payment units" or applications during the next fiscal year, collecting $196,840 in fees from the program. The vanity call sign regulatory fee is payable not only when applying for a new vanity call sign, but also upon renewing a vanity call sign for a new term. The first vanity call sign licenses issued under the current Amateur Radio vanity call sign program that began in 1996 came up for renewal four years ago. Those holding vanity call signs issued prior to 1996 are exempt from having to pay the vanity call sign regulatory fee at renewal, however. That's because Congress did not authorize the FCC to collect regulatory fees until 1993. Such "heritage" vanity call sign holders do not appear as vanity licensees in the FCC Amateur Radio database. Amateur Radio licensees may file for renewal only within 90 days of their license expiration date. All radio amateurs must have an FCC Registration Number (FRN) before filing any application with the Commission. Applicants can obtain an FRN by going to the ULS and clicking on the "New Users Register" link. You must supply your Social Security Number to obtain an FRN. NNNN /EX

Field Day 2007 Score 3A - 4,066 2F 3A 5A 2A 1A - 2,722 Have you completed your Counties Field Day results and filed them with ARRL? First of all I really had a good time and each stop Rhoda and I made were really unique to what each county was doing or had in their plans for FD. All counties were heavily involved and had a true interest in the actual meaning of what FD was really about. The number of point that your county scored is a side issue the important issue is people, ARES and your public involvement. Back on points I normally looks at the extra points category because this tells me what your Club/ARES forks were really busy doing vs just making QSO points. Look over your picture and identify those operators in the pictures that are shown in your counties. If you have your FD scores let me know that and e-mail me. I was extremely pleased with ASHE County and their people and public involvement it was like that every ARES member had a preset assignment and were busy doing it, lots of sharing ideas among those doing the actual work.
