Folks from Phil duggan N1EP MSM 

I had scheduled a cabinet meeting for Oct 6th but as I flew from Arizona vacation back to Maine today my mother passed away. My schedule for the next several days is unknown, so I will postpone that meeting.

There is another Zoom meeting by Rob Leiden regarding RFI if anyone wants the link, it is Oct 6th at 7PM I believe. Let me know. all ARES ECs, don't forget to send Keith Anoe KE4UCW your monthly EC report. I have to do Washington County's as well.

 

 Some of you know Phil is  also president of the Maine Ham Radio Society based out of Washington County. That is also where Wreaths Across America is based and MHRS will be conducting a special event December 17th weekend commemorating National Wreaths Across America Day (DEC 10

  

Some of you know Phil is  also president of the Maine Ham Radio Society based out of Washington County. That is also where Wreaths Across America is based and MHRS will be conducting a special event December 17th weekend commemorating National Wreaths Across America Day (DEC 17th). {Phil is inviting my cabinet appointees to also participate. I think having our section officials out there is a good thing. I'll be putting out more details soon, but if you would like to operate as W1A during the period Dec 16th - 19th, 2022, then let me know. 

America conducts their massive convoy from Harrington Maine down to Arlington National Cemetery and to thousands of other locations as well, conducting wreath-laying ceremonies.

ARRL Bulletin 18  ARLB018

From ARRL Headquarters  

Newington CT

To all radio amateurs 

ARLB018 FCC Grants an ARRL Emergency Request to Permit Higher Data

Rate Transmissions for Hurricane Relief Communications

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has granted an ARRP emergency request for a 60-day temporary waiver intended to facilitate amateur radio emergency communications for hurricane relief. The waiver was adopted on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, and immediately permitted amateur radio operators supporting amateur data transmission for Hurricane Ian traffic to employ a higher symbol rate for data transmissions than the current limit of 300 baud. in its Order (DA 22-1011), the FCC concluded "that granting the requested waiver is in the public interest. Puerto Rico was recently hit by Hurricane Fiona and Hurricane Ian is predicted to cause significant damage, including disruption to electricity and ommunications services. 

 

Simulated Emergency Test

Maine Section Emergency Coordinator Keith Anoe, KE4UCW, has scheduled The Maine SET for Saturday, October 22ND. If you would like to participate, contact your local/county ARES emergency coordinator, or Keith keith.anoe@gmail.com  A Club Grant website has been created. it will be used to convey www.arrl.org/club-grant-program info on the program at: A new mailbox here at ARRL has also been created for correspondence concerning the program. clubgrants@arrl.ORG

 

The New England Division is closely monitoring any potential legislation that could be introduced that would adversely affect amateur radio operators. In a recent Zoom meeting between New England Division Director Fred Kemmerer, AB1OC, and section managers and sectiongovernment liaisons, examples of “anti-5G” bills that could also impact hams was discussed. Currently there are no bills in Maine's Legislature that might affect hams' communications. Future bills won't be submitted until December, and then they are titled and printed in early January (in Maine). Maine SGL Peter Hatem, KC1HBM, will be monitoring the situation. Another Zoom session will be scheduled later in the year for updates and to plan any response if needed. 

Hands-free and distracted driving laws were briefly discussed during the Zoom meeting. In Maine, a distracted driving law was passed a few years ago, but amateur radio operators were exempted and allowed to operate their radios while driving, with the notable exception that when driving in a construction zone, so beware not to be talking on your radio in  those circumstances.

HURRICANE WATCH NET UPON ACTIVATION 14325 KHZ/DAY OR

7268 KHZ/NIGHT

The Hurricane Watch Net is a group of licensed Amateur Radio Operators, trained and organized to provide essential communications support to the National Hurricane Center during times of Hurricane emergencies.  We are not housed in a single location - as some of our followers believe - but strategically disbursed across North America, throughout the Caribbean Sea, and Central America so that we can provide a continuous path of communications from storm-affected areas to the forecasters in the National Hurricane Center in Miami, and when needed, the forecasters in the Canadian Hurricane Center in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
The primary mission of the Hurricane Watch Net is to disseminate tropical cyclone advisory information to island communities in the Caribbean, Central America, along the Atlantic seaboard of the U.S., and throughout the Gulf of Mexico coastal areas.   We also collect observed or measured weather data from amateur radio operators in the storm affected area as well as any post storm damage, and convey that information to the Hurricane Forecasters in the National Hurricane Center via the amateur radio station in the center (WX4NHC).  In addition, we provide the same service for the Canadian Hurricane Centre whenever a hurricane threatens their country.
The Hurricane Watch Net generally activates whenever a system has achieved hurricane status and is within 300 statute miles of populated landmass (this can vary, however, due to the forward speed and intensity of the storm) or at the request of the forecasters at the National Hurricane Center.
