    March Section Report

    THE MANY FACETS OF PUBLIC SERVICE. When considering the terms "public service" and "Amateur Radio," we often think of hams helping with disaster or emergency-related communications, parades, bicycle races or other events. But now the members of the Hopkins County Amateur Radio Association and their local ARES/RACES group can add to the list "helping served agencies with a visiting national presidential candidate.

    On Saturday, March 29th, Sen. Hillary Clinton visited Madisonville during a campaign sweep across Kentucky. The campaign stop in Hopkins County also featured an appearance by Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear and a crowd of 3,500 supporters. In preparation for this event, Hopkins County EM Director Broc Oglesby requested a team of Amateur Radio operators to provide communications support. Amateurs from the area provided communication services, security and parking assistance to the Madisonville Police, Hopkins County Sheriff, local EM office and the U.S. Secret Service. According to the report from District 2 DEC Nick Bailey, KG4URI, "everything went smoothly and everyone carried out their job assignment." In addition to Bailey, the other operators who participated include Hopkins County ARA president Frank Wright, KA4IRG; Hopkins County EC Doug Clark, KC4FRA; Frankie Frashure, KI4RTY; and Chuck Clark, KE4LKG. Kudos to everyone who helped in this event!

    KY HAM PUBLISHED. Kudos to Robert Kluck, N4IJS, for getting an article he's written on Linux published in the May/June issue of QEX magazine (look for it on page 25). Robert's article details how to run Linux under the Windows OS. He is a member of the Northern Kentucky Amateur Radio Club (Info courtesy of the NKARC Feedline). QEX magazine is the ARRL's "forum for communications experimenters." For more information, visit the QEX web page.

    ASHLAND, MADISONVILLE HAMFESTS. I hope to see you Saturday, April 26th at the River Cities ARA Tail-Gate Hamfest at the National City Bank parking lot, 11th and Carter Avenue from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in downtown Ashland. This a new event for the club and it will attract hams from across Eastern Kentucky as well as Ohio and West Virginia. On May 3rd I'll be in Madisonville for the 8th Annual Hopkins County ARA Hamfest. For information on these 'fests and others coming up in Kentucky, please see the Hamfest Calendar below.

    2008 KY SECTION NEWSLETTER, CLUB WEB SITE CONTESTS. The Kentucky Section is home to talented and enthusiastic folks who use the printed media and the Internet to promote and educate others about the activities of their local Amateur Radio club. This year, the Section Newsletter Contest is being revamped to include a division for best Section Web Site. The revamped contest is open to all clubs in the Kentucky Section. For this year, winning clubs from the past five years are eligible to participate. Awards will be presented to the winners for both contests at the Louisville Hamfest. Rules for both contests will be posted here soon. For more info, contact KY4Z@arrl.org.

    FIELD DAY LOCATOR MAP. The ARRL has added a very useful feature in time for your club or group's 2008 Field Day plans. The new Field Day locator map is now online, and its an excellent resource that will help amateurs or others interested in Amateur Radio find your Field Day site. So far, nine Kentucky groups have listed their Field Day sites. Adding your group's Field Day site is easy. Visit the Field Day Station Locator web page and click the "Add A Station" link. To download the Field Day packet, find individual forms, or order Field Day T-shirts, pins or other items, click here.

    WEATHER SPOTTER TRAINING. If you haven't attended a National Weather Service Skywarn program lately, there are still training opportunities available. Trained weather spotters serve as the National Weather Service's "eyes in the field." For dates and locations of the Skywarn training nearest you, visit the Skywarn page at the www.kyham.net Web site. There you will find links to training schedules from the NWS offices in Charleston, WV, Jackson, KY, Louisville, KY, Paducah, KY and Wilmington, OH.

Needless to say everything went smooth and everyone carried out their job assignment. Members participating were Frank Wright KA4IRG HCARA President, Doug Clark KC4FRA Hopkins Co EC, Frankie Frashure KI4RTY, Chuck Clark KE4LKG and myself Nick Bailey KG4URI DEC Dist 2.

DECs need to have their reports to me by the 10th of the month. Please fill out the reports completely so they do not get returned for correction.
