Good Evening,
They say when one door closes another opens. It appears I have a
number of doors opening for me. This is good! I have not had a chance to
get on the air this week because of work related spells of activity.
However, I was on the air quite a bit today for our local airshow. We
used at least five different modes, three bands, and many different
frequencies. I worked closely with the police and fire departments along
with the 911 team and got to know them all just a little better. I also
was able to work with the local ARES/RACES and CERT teams. It was fun.
Hopefully the Blue Angels have left me with some hearing. It it just too
enjoyable watching them do things with aircraft which seem to break the
laws of physics.
The weather has been a bit grey until today with daytime temperatures
in the low to mid 50s. The last couple of days I kept a fire going. In
town it was rather warm but by the time I climbed the mountain and got
into the house the fire felt very nice. Sam was sleeping next to it when
I came in and is now eating dinner. Mine is coming but I need to get this
note off before I fall asleep. I had to arise at 5 AM but awoke long
before that dreaming of being late. Since I was one of the folks required
to open the place I had to be there especially early. I was not late so I
got to the morning briefing of the police and fire officials and learned a
lot more about the incident command system. We have to take the ICS 100,
200, 700, and 800 courses but there is nothing like hands on experience to
drive home the lessons. I also proselytized a bit about amateur radio.
Tomorrow:
1) Hail signs (first letter or two of the suffix of your call)
2) NCS help (as well as QSP/QNP <relay> help)
Please join us:
Sunday 2300z (Sunday 4 PM PDT) 14050 kHz
Monday 0200z (Sunday 7 PM PDT) 7045 kHz
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
