Skywarn News     (Jun 21, 2011) -- The National Weather Service (NWS) has updated its Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the ARRL (scroll below to access a link to the document). The updated MoU serves “as a framework within which volunteers of the ARRL may coordinate their services, facilities and equipment with the NWS in support of nationwide, state and local early weather warning and emergency communications function.” In May, ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, signed on behalf of the ARRL, and in June, NWS Office of Climate, Water and Weather Services’ Director Dave Caldwell signed on behalf of the NWS. The ARRL and the NWS have had a formal working arrangement since 1986. The NWS, in the MoU, acknowledges that Amateur Radio operators can be of valuable assistance in early severe weather warning and tornado spotting. Through its SKYWARN program, the NWS recognizes that Amateur Radio operators have assisted as communicators and weather spotters since the program began in the late 1960s. “In areas where tornadoes and other severe weather have been known to threaten, the NWS recruits volunteers and trains them in proper weather spotting procedures,” the MoU states. “These dedicated citizens help keep their local community safe by conveying severe weather reports to their local NWS forecast office. SKYWARN spotters are integral to the success of our nation’s severe weather warning system.” Click Here for the Complete Story.... ************** Storm Spotting and Amateur Radio is a resource for the Amateur Radio operator who volunteers as a trained storm spotter. This book includes information on resources, training, equipment, safety, storm spotter activation procedures, reportable weather criteria, developing a local storm spotter manual, and the experiences of storm spotters from around the country. It also provides some meteorological information about severe weather such as hurricanes, tornadoes, hail, floods, damaging wind, and winter weather. A comprehensive index is included with weather-related web sites and a state-by-state listing of SKYWARN® web sites. This new publication is available from the ARRL Bookstore for $22.95. ************ Gary Garnet with the Cleveland NWS handed out a Spotter Reference Sheet during the Spotter Training meeting.

ARES Assists With COOL Event
Terry Russ, N8ATZ -  Emergency Coordinator

   (Jun 5, 2013) - - - On Saturday, June 1st, members of Stark County ARES which included amateurs from both Massillon and Alliance Amateur Radio Clubs provided communications support for this years COOL Event.

COOL stands for Community Outreach Of Love and is a collaboration of many area churches all sharing a common goal: to facilitate physical and spiritual impact to the community. On Saturday, nearly 1,800 volunteers and 15 amateur radio operators completed their goal in the Southwest section of Massillon.

Radio operators were located at strategic blocks to provide support communications as resources and materials were transported to the over 250 individual homes in the neighborhood. Net Control was handled using our ARES Trailer located at 7th Street and Walnut Road, the staging area for this years event.  My thanks to Mike, KD8ENV for the use of the trailer and acting Net Control for the event and to the Massillon ARC for the use of their generator.

Event Director Cindy Mandrell and Communications Coordinator Cathy Storey, KC8EUC both expressed their deepest appreciation for the long day's support to this community project. Throughout the day, radio operators provided communications to help move manpower and materials to complete the project tasks at the many homes on this years list.

We also recognize and appreciate the service of the following amateur radio operators:

Tom Steele - KD8JRK, John Myers - KD8MQ (both from the Alliance ARC), Bill Treacle - KD8TKX, Tom Gill - KC8QOD, Russ McMahen - N8PII, Wade Huthmacher - WD8MIU, Bill Maurer - KD8LCS, Terry Russ - N8ATZ, Rick Fligor - KD8NYZ, Don Wade - W8DEA, Danny Newport - KG8RV, Ron Kuhn - KC8LAB, Bruce Brown - KC8RKS, Mike Palmer - KD8ENV, and Cathy Storey - KC8EUC.

Be Prepared - It Could Happen Here
Terry Russ, N8ATZ -  Emergency Coordinator

  (May 24, 2013) - - The Wednesday, May 22, 2013 edition of both the Canton Repository and the Massillon Independent covered in detail the damage caused by the recent tornado in Moore, Oklahoma that left 24 people dead, injuring more than 200, and destroyed schools, neighborhoods and vehicles.

It also covered a history of severe weather that Stark County has experienced in the last 10 years as reported on by Stark County EMA Director Tim Warstler. This included several F-2 tornadoes that struck in 2002 and again in 2006.

Stark County Skywarn was a part of the advanced warning system in each of these weather events and we continue to provide a strong program of severe weather spotters today. Even before severe weather strikes Stark County, our storm spotter system will be activated by our Skywarn Coordinator Mike Lackney, KB8MIB who will establish a severe weather net on our 147.12 Mhz ARES Repeater. Our core team of trained weather spotters will begin relaying visual observations of cloud patterns, wind speed and direction into Net Control.

We will then forward this information to the Cleveland National Weather Service using the six meter backbone system. We also provide weather situation reports to our area hospitals and to the EMA Office.

We pray that a tornado such as the EF-4 that struck Moore, Oklahoma never hits our homes here in Stark County, but one thing you can be certain of, when any severe weather threatens ---- our Spotters Are READY !

Terry Russ, N8ATZ -  Emergency Coordinator

(Apr 28, 2013) -- Saturday, April 27th marked the official opening of the 2013 public service season as members of the MARC again assisted with the annual Spring MS Walk in Massillon at the Massillon Recreation Center.

Sponsored by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, communications volunteers staffed rest stops and provided safety and support communications for this years event. Communications was also maintained between the transfer busses and the Recreation Center.

EComm 1, the clubs Emergency Communications Trailer was stationed at the Rec Center and provided Net Control operations for the Walk. The weather was a beautiful spring day with warm temperatures that brought out record walkers for this years event. Nearly 400 participants supported this years walk. Local MS Walk Coordinator Dick Kulick expressed his sincere appreciation to all of the amateur volunteers for their continued assistance year after year. The overall event went very well with only a few needing transport back to the Recreation Center.

The following volunteers assisted with this years MS Walk. Terry Russ - N8ATZ, Jim Farriss - WA8GXM, Don Finley - W8DEF, Tom Gill - KC8QOD, Wade Huthmacher - WD8MIU, Mike Palmer - KD8ENV, Bill Treacle - KD8TKX with wife Shirley, Rick Fligor - KD8NYZ, Igor Nikishin - K8INN and Carl Cunert. This event provided 40 Community Service Hours.

The N8ATZ  Go Box
Terry Russ, N8ATZ -  Emergency Coordinator

(Apr 5, 2013) - -  An equipment or "Go-Box" is quickly becoming an essential part of every radio amateur involved in public service communications. More and more, amateurs are being tasked to quick deploy to everything from local public service drills to disaster scenes.

There are many types of Go-Boxes currently being assembled by amateurs. Mostly they are based on individual needs and available equipment. After I acquired an Icom 706, I decided it was time to assembly my own version.

The final product is shown below. The HF Rig is the versatile Icom 706 M2G. I included the matching LDG IT-100 Automatic Antenna Tuner. An external speaker was added for improved audio. The HF antenna connection can either be a standard 3/8 inch stud mount for a vertical stick or through the SO-239 connector.

The VHF portion is my 2 meter Icom V-8000 mobile radio. A separate antenna mount is provided on the side of the case for this rig. Digital Communications capability is provided by using the Tigertronics SignaLink unit which can be used with either rig. An external laptop is added to run digital modes.

Power is provided by a 12 volt, 30 amp rated switching power supply from Ten-Tec Corp. The case is a modified Utility Dry-Box from MTM Case Gard Products and was purchased at the Dayton Hamvention for $40.00. A simple plywood shelf was added to support the equipment.

As with most Go-Boxes, mine is a work in progress and will be modified as new ideas come along. I am already thinking of a revised version to correct some problem areas with this design but this configuration has proven to be both useful and efficient !

The finished Go-Box case opened. The lid also provides a small storage area for connectors, cables, etc.

The equipment fits nicely in the case and is anchored using original brackets and angle brackets. The finished case is a bit heavy and a small wheeled cart is used to transport it from place to place.

Net Control Operators Needed
Terry Russ, N8ATZ -  Emergency Coordinator

  (Mar 12, 2013) -- The Stark County ARES is currently looking for volunteer Net Control Operators to assist with the weekly Tuesday Night ARES / Saturn Public Service Net.

Being a Net Control operator is a great way to enhance your public service communications skills. Training will be provided by our net managers who will assist you and provide our current net roster. You need only commit to handling the net one Tuesday net session each month.

Anyone interested should contact our Net Managers Mike Lackney, KB8MIB - Michele Gill, KC8ZEJ or Mike Palmer, KD8ENV.  Their email and phone information is available under the ARES Coordinator section.

We appreciate your assistance with our ARES Net !

Red Cross to Phase Out Emergency Communications Response Vehicles
Terry Russ, N8ATZ -  Emergency Coordinator

 (Mar 2, 2013)  ---  The American Red Cross has made the decision to phase out and decommission its Emergency Communication Response Vehicles (ECRVs), due to changes in technology, as well as a new satellite system and other factors regarding the vehicle fleet. “Retrofitting the decade-old vehicles with new equipment is not a good use of donated funds, as the long-term strategy is to move to more portable systems,” American Red Cross Disaster Services Technology Manager Keith Robertory, KG4UIR, told the ARRL. “This is consistent with the trends in the telecom and technology industries.”

The American Red Cross will be removing the Amateur Radios from the ECRVs as part of the decommissioning process. These radios will either become part of the deployable inventory or provided to the local American Red Cross chapter to build local capacity. Equipment that can be used by the American Red Cross will not be phased out with the vehicle. According to Robertory, every communication capability of the ECRV already exists -- or will soon exist -- as a rapidly deployable kit that can be loaded on any vehicle that is owned or rented by the American Red Cross, providing more flexibility in shaping its response to match the disaster. Read More...

EXTRA ITEM .....Many Stark County ARES Team members will remember that we hosted one of these impressive response vehicles during our severe flooding and tornado outbreak in 2005. Our members staffed and operated this equipment during relief operations for over a week during this time. You can read the complete story with pictures of the vehicle on our current news page.

Early ARES Operations
Terry Russ, N8ATZ - Assistant Emergency Coordinator

  (Nov 14, 2012) --- The following story recently appeared in the Columbus Dispatch newspaper and is reprinted by permission.

Herbert V. Akerberg, believed to be the first person to use amateur radio in a disaster, died on Nov. 6, 1964, in Scottsdale, Ariz. 

During the March 1913 flood in Columbus — a catastrophe that killed nearly 100 people — Akerberg was a 15-year-old Hilltop resident. He used his home radio transmitter — the second established in Columbus — to send SOS calls. 

“SOS Hilltop Business Men’s Association wants city to send boats,” Akerberg, a West High School student, tapped out in Morse code the afternoon of March 26, 1913. “Supplies will last until about tomorrow. Men are hanging on trees. Send supplies. Water is receding. Try and get us water and gas. People are suffering. Send this to Mayor (George J.) Karb at once. SOS.” 

During the flood, the Scioto River raged through Downtown, taking out bridges, inundating Franklinton and isolating the Hilltop by sweeping away telephone and telegraph lines. 

In his 1925 History of Ohio, C. B. Galbreath wrote: “For about three days and nights, practically continuously for seventy-two hours, young Akerberg remained on duty at his radio set, in communication with the radio station on top of the Huntington Bank Building, sending messages to the mayor and keeping the public advised as to the conditions on the devastated West Side. “Many messages were sent to the friends and relatives of those in the devastated district. 

He kept this constant vigil during heavy downpours of rain and at intervals waded in water up to his knees to the doorsteps of adjoining houses to get information to communicate to the city. His services were highly commended by the city authorities, and his achievement widely heralded over the country as a new contribution to the comparatively new science of radio.” 

As an adult, Akerberg served with the Army Signal Corps in World War I and directed the building of Avery & Loeb Electric Co.’s WPAL Columbus radio station in 1923. In 1929, he joined the fledgling Columbia Broadcasting System and helped build out its radio and television networks. 

Times have changed, but amateur radio thrives in Columbus. The city is home to more than 1,500 licensed ham radio operators.

Stark ARES Display
Terry Russ, N8ATZ - Assistant Emergency Coordinator

    (Oct 29, 2012) -- Stark ARES hosted an information table at the October 28th Massillon Hamfest. The table was staffed by ARES Net Manager Mike Lackney - KB8MIB and Assistant Net Manager Mike Palmer - KD8ENV.

Our display included a PowerPoint presentation covering basic ARES & Skywarn operations, a display of several versions of Emergency Response or (Go-Boxes) and informational literature.

Many visitors stopped by with questions and comments covering our ARES & Skywarn programs here in Stark County. My thanks to both Mike's for staffing the booth during the hamfest !

ARES Supports Airport Drill
Terry Russ, N8ATZ - Assistant Emergency Coordinator

  (May 5, 2012) ---  Stark County ARES participated in a full-scale airport disaster drill at the Akron-Canton Airport last Wednesday that involved more than 50 area emergency responders.

The scenario involved a cargo plane colliding with a passenger plane over Stark County. Debris from the make-believe crash was scattered in multiple locations throughout the area. The participants in the drill included FBI agents, airport security, multiple area police & fire departments and Stark Co ARES.

ARES responded to the Stark Co EMA office to activate our emergency response plan that included operators at the EOC and establish an emergency net in case additional operators would be needed.

Three members of the Stark ARES including Assistant EC Terry Russ, N8ATZ; Wade Huthmacher, WD8MIU and Don Wade, W8DEA activated our 2 meter station and established an emergency net on the 147.12 Repeater. Check-ins were taken on the repeater to solicit volunteers in case we were needed to support response and relief operations including establishing evacuation centers.

We were also requested to monitor county drill communications for any traffic to the EOC for Director Tim Warstler. ARES members have the responsibility to use county communications equipment to support all drill operations.

During the drill approximately 20 operators responded to our request for assistance. This was done via the county emergency repeater on 147.12 and the Massillon ARC 147.18 Repeater. The Alliance ARC also stood by with several operators.

The drill concluded at approximately 1:00 PM. Director Tim Warstler appreciated our assistance during this annual drill. Participation in these area drills provides us with important experience and the interaction with area support agencies that would be necessary in the event of an actual emergency. 

The EOC Operations Room converted to manage the Airport Drill. Multiple agency representatives coordinate drill operations.

 

Firefighters practice response operations at the Akron-Canton Airport drill.

Renowned Storm Chaser Tim Samaras, WJ0G, Killed In Oklahoma Tornado
Courtesy of the ARRL

(Jun 3, 2013) - - -  Professional storm chasers Tim Samaras, WJ0G, his son Paul Samaras and fellow investigator Carl Young were killed on May 31 near El Reno, Oklahoma when an EF3 tornado suddenly changed paths and slammed into their vehicle; they were unable to escape. According to ABC News, Tim Samaras -- an ARRL member -- was found dead in his car, still in his seat belt; Paul Samaras and Young were pulled from the car by the tornado; one of the men was found a half-mile away.

National Geographic Society Vice President for Research, Conservation and Exploration John Francis told The Washington Post that he fears that there are too many people jamming the roadways in pursuit of twisters and that this might have contributed to Friday’s fatalities. In a May 2013 online interview with National Geographic, Samaras told of the increase in the number of storm chasers in recent years. “There’s lots and lots of storm chasers out there, but you can probably count on one hand the number of people who go out into the field and collect data from tornadoes,” he said. “We run into [storm chasers] all the time. On a big tornado day in Oklahoma, you can have hundreds of storm chasers lined up down the road. Oklahoma is considered the Mecca of storm chasing. We know ahead of time when we chase in Oklahoma, there’s going to be a traffic jam.”      Read More.....

Forecasters Calling for "Active or Extremely Active" Hurricane Season
Courtesy of the ARRL

     (May 25, 2013) - - -    Forecasters with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are calling for an “active or extremely active” 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. In its initial outlook for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season -- which begins Saturday, June 1 and runs through November 30 -- NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) is forecasting a 70 percent likelihood of 13-20 named storms (winds of 39 miles per hour or higher), of which 7-11 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 miles per hour or higher), including 3 to 6 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4 or 5 with winds of 111 miles per hour or higher). These ranges are well above the seasonal average of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes.

“With the devastation of [Hurricane] Sandy fresh in our minds, and another active season predicted, everyone at NOAA is committed to providing life-saving forecasts in the face of these storms and ensuring that Americans are prepared and ready ahead of time,” explained NOAA Acting Administrator Kathryn Sullivan. “As we saw first-hand with Sandy, it’s important to remember that tropical storm and hurricane impacts are not limited to the coastline. Strong winds, torrential rain, flooding and tornadoes often threaten inland areas far from where the storm first makes landfall.”  Read More....

Amateurs In Oklahoma Respond to Storm Aftermath
Courtesy of the ARRL

(May 23, 2013) - - After an EF5 tornado swept through Oklahoma on May 20, radio amateurs in that state assisted the American Red Cross with its communications efforts. “Amateur Radio operators were asked to support voice communications from the American Red Cross Oklahoma City Chapter Headquarters to their feeding station at the Incident Command Post located in Moore,” explained ARRL Oklahoma Section Emergency Coordinator Mark Conklin, N7XYO. Moore, located about halfway between Norman and Oklahoma City, suffered the brunt of the tornado damage. As of 8:30 CDT on May 22, all Amateur Radio operations in support of the American Red Cross ceased.

At least 24 people, including nine children, were killed when the 1.3-mile wide tornado moved through Moore, Oklahoma’s seventh largest city. The National Weather Service stated that the tornado traveled an estimated 17-mile-long path for 50 minutes, with an estimated peak wind that ranged from 200-210 miles per hour, making it an EF5 storm, the most powerful category of tornados possible.  Read More.....

Radio Amateurs Provide Comm Support In Boston Marathon Bombings
Courtesy of the ARRL

 (Apr 17, 2013) - -  As has happened many times in years past, over 200 Amateur Radio operators participated in communications for the Boston Marathon on Monday, April 15, 2013. Unlike prior challenging situations such as very warm weather for the runners or other weather-related challenges, this year’s marathon will be remembered for the bombings that took place at the finish line. Despite this heinous act, professional first responders, medical volunteers from the American Red Cross that staffed the route, and Amateur Radio operators performed magnificently in the face of adversity.

“Within minutes, cell phone systems became overloaded and making phone calls and text messages was difficult. Amateur Radio operators performed communication duties under duress and performed admirably. No Amateur Radio volunteers were injured on the course in this terrible act,” said Steve Schwarm, W3EVE, who is the Amateur Radio Course Communication Coordinator and associated with a consortium of clubs and groups known as Marathon Amateur Radio Communications (MARC).

“At the finish line net control, which was only 400 feet from the initial blast, we heard the explosion. I poked my head outside to confirm what I thought it was and saw the white smoke. We immediately knew what had happened and commenced a roll call of all ham operators and medical tents. State Police authorities initially ordered us to lock down and post a ham for security watch outside the net control trailer. Thankfully none of our people were hurt,” said Paul Topolski, W1SEX, Amateur Radio Finish Line Coordinator.  Read More...

Hams Respond To New England Blizzard
Courtesy of the ARRL

 (Feb 14, 2013) ---  As a blizzard swept across New England February 9-10, SKYWARN was ready. The storm dumped heavy snowfall -- with some areas receiving upwards of 3 feet of snow -- as blizzard conditions brought hurricane force winds that created power outages and significant tree and power line damage over Southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. ARRL Eastern Massachusetts Section Emergency Coordinator Rob Macedo, KD1CY, helped lead operations at WX1BOX, the Amateur Radio station at the National Weather Service office in Taunton, Massachusetts, where hams were active for 28 continuous hours. Macedo also serves as the ARES SKYWARN Coordinator for the NWS office in Taunton.

“The Amateur Radio mission in our region has evolved into providing information on damage, power outages and meteorological surface observations in situations such as this blizzard,” Macedo told the ARRL. “But our hopes of escaping the winter of 2012-2013 with nothing more than routine winter storms ended when this blizzard came to New England. Eastern Massachusetts ARES was placed on stand-by on Friday, February 9 and that standby continued through Tuesday, February 12 for both Eastern Massachusetts ARES and those amateurs remaining active on Cape Cod who provided communications support for active shelters and for the Barnstable County Mutual Aid Coordination Center on Cape Cod.”   READ MORE......
