2009 CHALLENGE 500
Larry Bloomquist, KE7HGC, Vice President of the Clark County Amateur Radio Club, has offered a challenge to all other clubs and ARES teams in Western Washington. "Let's license 500 NEW hams in Western Washington, in 2009". What a great idea! And while we are at it, let's get the new 500 to join ARRL. To that end, As Section Manager I am kicking off CHALLENGE 500. Keep track of the numbers who get licensed through your Club or ARES Team, and keep track of the ones who join ARRL. Report your numbers to me and in December we will total the figures and the most outstanding team or club will be given special recognition. Remember, a new licensee counts for one point and a new ARRL membership counts for an additional point. Let's share with others this hobby that has given us so much fun.

TRAINING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ARES PERSONNEL In order to deploy efficient and well trained
teams, in times of emergencies and for public service events, the Western
Washington Leadership Team has developed the following minimum recommendations
for all ARES personnel. We do understand that some of our served
agencies such as American Red Cross or local Department of Emergency Management,
may require/mandate other training - which is within their authority to do so -
