Amateur Radio Volunteer Information is on the Web

NEWINGTON, CT, Sep 19, 2001--Amateur Radio volunteers continue to be needed to assist with disaster relief communication in New York City. The Virginia ARES operation in support of the Salvation Army in Washington, DC, has ended.

Operators willing able to volunteer for communications duty to support the Amateur Radio Emergency Service relief and recovery effort at the Word Trade Center in New York City may register at the World Trade Center Disaster Relief Communications Web site. Please be patient. Some users have reported they were unable to connect to this site; this may be a result of recent Internet disruptions.

When logging onto the site, Amateur Radio operators first will be quizzed against a checklist, then asked to complete and submit an on-line form.

New York City Amateur Radio volunteers must have a VHF (2-meter) or, preferably, a VHF/UHF (2-meter/70-cm) mobile radio, power supply and cables, and mobile/portable mag-mounted gain antenna. This duty requires a serious commitment and could involve working in a possibly hazardous area in war zone-like conditions. Certain volunteers might need to supply some items of protective clothing.

Amateurs from outside the Greater New York City area who are asked to report for duty are requested to alert their section managers. A list of SMs is available on the ARRL Web site.

New York City District Emergency Coordinator Charles Hargrove, N2NOV, has expressed his appreciation to the amateur community. "Thank you for all the support and well wishes," he said. "This is a difficult time for all of us. We appreciate all the amateurs who have volunteered their time and equipment."
