HAPPENINGS

* From Mike Lisenco N2YBB, Section Manager

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer and enjoying this heat-wave.

 

August has been a typically slow month here.  Not much going on.  The highlight of the month for me was the visit I made to the August meeting of the Peconic Amateur Radio Club.  For a NYC guy like me, the trip to Peconic was a vacation day!  Located mid-way through the north fork of Long Island, I made the 100 mile road trip with my trusty FT-857D.  20 meters was hopping that day and I was having great success working through Europe and into Africa.  When I made it through Riverhead, I found myself in Long Island’s wine country.  Unfortunately, I must plead ignorance as I didn’t know that LI was the home of so many wineries.  Of course if I had known I probably wouldn’t have made it to the meeting and would most likely still be tasting instead of typing this.

 

My thanks to Roberta Keis, N2RBU for a lovely dinner and all the Peconic membership for having me over.

 

-------

 

Now on to more serious things.  As you know, we are in the height of Hurricane Season.  As of this moment, it would appear that Hurricane Bill will bypass us and make landfall in Nova Scotia.  Of course, it’s still early and we won’t know for certain for another day or so.

 

Be that as it may, this area is long overdue for a serious hurricane.  ARES members throughout the Section have been preparing for a possible activation.  I participated in a conference call with the American Red Cross in Greater New York yesterday to discuss plans for a possible activation should this hurricane change course.

 

We’ve all seen what damage a hurricane can do and how amateur radio plays a part in the response by providing backup communications to public service agencies when “all else fails”.

 

It is important to note that we are NOT first responders.  In fact, we often face a public relations problem because the perception that first responders often have of hams is that we are “amateurs” and “wannabees”.

 

Having said that, please note that ARES is a legitimate response organization that participates through existing relationships with local first-response public agencies and secondary response support agencies (like the Red Cross and Salvation Army).  ARES members are thoroughly trained in Emergency Communications, and ARES is a respected and integral cog in the response wheel. 

 

If you are already an ARES volunteer, I thank you for your time and dedication.  If you are not, please get involved.  Amateur radio is a public service, and one way to effect that service is to participate in emergency communications.  Please contact your local ARES Emergency Coordinator or District Emergency Coordinator.  Let them know that you would like to be a part of this worthwhile organization.

 

Starting this month, there will be a separate listing on the NLI website of all ARES contacts as well as a listing of all monthly meetings (for those groups that have them).  ARES is set up first by County, then by City or Township.  Look for your area and please get in touch.

------

As of the moment, my dance card is empty for the month of September.  If you would like me to attend an upcoming meeting of your club, please email me at n2ybb@arrl.org and I'll be more than happy to set it up.

AGAIN, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW-UP WITH A LETTER!!!

ARRL Seeks Member Support for HR 2160

To support HR 2160 -- The Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Enhancement Act of 2009 -- the ARRL is asking its membership to contact their members of the US House of Representatives with a request to become co-sponsors of this significant piece of legislation.


"Getting a bill successfully through Congress is a formidable task -- one that is going to require the involvement of every ARRL member," said ARRL Regulatory Information Manager Dan Henderson, N1ND. "Working with our Washington consulting firm Chwat & Co, we are laying a dynamic approach that will allow us to make our case most effectively. We have developed a strategy to maximize our impact when dealing with each member of Congress."


Since the anthrax scare that followed the 9-11 attacks, all incoming mail to Congress is delayed anywhere from four to six weeks while it is screened. This means using normal US Mail is no longer an effective method of letting Congress hear your voice. While e-mail is convenient, it is not effective, due to the large volume of e-mail that each Congressional office receives.


"To ensure that ARRL members' letters are quickly and expediently received by Congress, our strategy is to ask ARRL members send their letters directly to Chwat & Co," said Henderson. "Chwat's staff will sort the letters by Congressional district and hand-deliver them to the appropriate House offices, providing a direct point of contact with the Congressman and their staff. This personal contact gives us the chance to provide not only letters from constituents, but information from the ARRL on why this legislation is important."


The ARRL has provided a sample letter for League members to personalize and send to their Congressional representative.

 

For more information on the Act and the sample letter, go to:

http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2009/05/12/10818/?nc=1

------
 
In closing I want to take the time to publicly thank all of my staff for volunteering their time and hard work.  Each and every member of the NLI staff devotes a great deal of personal time and energy to help keep the NLI Field Organization going.  They are listed throughout this eNewsletter.  Without them, I wouldn’t be able to do my job as Section Manager.

 

And a special thank you to Mitch Cohen, N2RGA, for maintaining the NLI website.

 

That's it for me this month. I hope all of you are enjoying the summer. Hpe CU on the bands!

73,
Mike N2YBB
