News last updated: Tue, November 6, 2007 at 2:43 PM ET
I would like to take a moment to thank Bob Craven, N7GTE, Randy Cooper, and Karen Madsen from the State RACES and Homeland Security Division for the work they did to organize and prepare the CSEPP ARES/RACES Conference on 03 November. The presentations were very informative and gave us all good information to use to improve our skills as Emergency Communicators. Randy Cooper gave an update on the CSEPP program, John Hayes, K7VE, gave a very informative presentation on D-STAR, Pat Malan, N6VLU, and Charles Grey, KE6QZU gave a very thought provoking presentation about the Loma Prieta Earth Quake of 1989. If you missed this event this year please put down the first Saturday of November 2008 for the conference date next year.
I have enjoyed the opportunity to visit a number of the Radio Clubs in the state this fall and am very impressed with the activity I see in each club whether it be a large club or a small club. We continue to grow as a section this year we have for the first time every exceeded 1,300 ARRL members and I attribute that to the club activity throughout the Section, thank you for your commitment to ARRL.
