March 19, 2003- America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies--amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the disaster to the space shuttle Columbia, and right now, at this moment, they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make public.

WI ARES/RACES Membership Standards

From the WI ARES/RACES Website 

Effective Immediately, the following are membership standards to keep in good standing

  1. Participation in 12 home county ARES/RACES training nets per year.

  2. Participation in one ARES/RACESactivation (either Skywarn or other) per year.

  3. Attend one ARES/RACES meeting per year (might be the annual meeting).

  4. Send one NTS radiogram per year indicating the member is still interested in retaining membership.  This does not have to be on the air, it can be through e-mail or Winlink 2000, etc., but it must be in NTS format.

  5. Be a contributor to the team in the eyes of the EC (subjective, but important).

  6. Attend Skywarn training at least once every two years.

  7. Completion of ICS-100 and IS-700 courses. (If you do not have copies of your certificates, you can call (301) 447-1200 and you can request copies of your transcripts be mailed to you, or you can fill out a transcript request form and mail it in here.)

Because of extremely poor band conditions on 75 meters at its present time the WI ARES/RACES Net will move to Sundays at 8:00 a.m. beginning on Sunday, December 7. As far as we know the frequency will stay the same at 3977.5. Please communicate with your members. We will also announce it during the nets (if anyone can hear us)! To summarize, starting Sunday, December 7, the WI ARES/RACES Net will be held at 8:00 a.m. on 3977.5. See you on the Net.
