UPDATE
RACES is
refurbishing our antenna installation at the EOC.
Work on the tower itself was continued all day on
June 20th and June 21st. Much of upgrade
work was completed, but due to problems with the
manlift, some work on the tower remains to be
completed. The tentative schedule for the
completion will be July 11th.
If you can
help, even for just a few hours , we can use your help.
Stay tuned.

Go Kits Anyone
serious about Emergency Support should have a
go-kit, or maybe more than one. It may be
something you keep in the car or something
mostly packed and ready to go at home. Even if
you don't have one, you should think about what
you might need to have in case of an emergency.
This is a presentation that Dan O’Connor,
KE7HLR made at EMCOMMWEST in 2008. It's a rather
large PDF file (about 3Meg). If you don't have a
high speed connection, I suggest downloading it,
and reading it off line. It's great 'food for
thought' and well worth the read. I found myself
mentally comparing Dan's ideas to what I have
assembled and thinking about what I might want
to add.
