Weather History

What came to be known as the "Friday the 13th" avalanche killed sixteen people on this date in 1899 in Alva, Utah. The avalanche also trapped thirteen people for twelve hours before being rescued. Meanwhile, that day was also the coldest morning on record for the Gulf Coast. Tallahassee recorded -2 degrees to set a record low for the state of Florida.

Have you completed your Counties Field Day results and filed them with ARRL?

First of all I really had a good time and each stop Rhoda and I made were really unique to what each county was doing or had in their plans for FD. All counties were heavily involved and had a true interest in the actual meaning of what FD was really about. The number of point that your county scored is a side issue the important issue is people, ARES and your public involvement. Back on points I normally looks at the extra points category because this tells me what your Club/ARES forks were really busy doing vs just making QSO points. Look over your picture and identify those operators in the pictures that are shown in your counties.   If you have your FD scores let me know that and e-mail me. I was extremely pleased with ASHE County and their people and public involvement it was like that every ARES member had a preset assignment and were busy doing it, lots of sharing ideas among those doing the actual work.

Good morning… Since the last AREA 13 Meeting we have been calling the HF net every Monday evening at 7:00 PM. Dorney KG4YNM and John WB2NHQ have reported that they have not been able to hear anyone.   To be sure, the band conditions have not been great which has not helped. Until we have a chance to rethink and regroup, we will not be making further attempts. Thanks to those of you who attempted to check in. 73
