    From Steve Williams, K1SJW DEC Sky Warn

    I am planning to issue a couple of emails regarding any potential for severe weather conditions during Field Day weekend.

    The 1st email will be issued Thursday morning followed by emails on Thursday evening, Friday morning and Friday Evening, and Saturday morning.

    If there is a severe weather threat for this weekend (No mention of this in forecasts at this point) I will run a statewide weather net on the KB1AEV system Saturday morning and again Sunday morning at approx. 9:00 AM each day with announcement of the forecasts and Hazardous Weather Outlooks for each day. I will also attempt to announce an watches or warnings that are issued.

    Everyone planning on being in the field on Field Day Weekend please make certain to include a battery powered NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio with your gear to keep you updated on weather conditions in your area during the weekend.

    HR SM BULLETIN NR 1 K1EIC SHELTON CT JUNE 22
    TO ALL RADIO AMATEURS CT SECTION
    BT
    CT mourns the death of Joe Phillips K8QOE SM Ohio. I just talked to him on Friday so you can imagine my shock. Joe has been to our hamfests here in CT and a longtime SM. Many of you have seen him in Dayton. He has been a real leader among us SMs and a good friend to all. Joe was a very fine leader, one whom we all tried to emulate. He was a good friend and I will miss him. I have already contacted the family today with our condolences. This is a real loss to the ARRL Field Organization.
