I was several months of listening to conversations and police frequencies before deciding it was time to take the test. I couldn’t wait to mimic my public service friends by purchasing an ICOM 2720 and the study material for my technician license. I must also give a tip of the hat to Susan KB5ICO, Chuck N5GCQ, and David N5SRC. Mike Hardwick N5VCX placed an HT in my van for me to listen to for our 10 van conga line trip drive back to Dallas. We had just completed SAG support for the SAM's Club MS150 from Frisco (near Dallas) to Ardmore.

Also, the number of training sessions for handling traffic has increased, and I applaud the effort on everyone involved.
WEST GULF COAST STX ARES TASKBOOK HOW TO
As soon as you register, your local EC will look over your application and approve you as a member:ĭuring this past year the number of reported traffic nets have increased in number, and as such, we as the South Texas Section have been able to report back to ARRL HQ’s a significantly higher number of Amateur Radio operators who are learning how to send and receive traffic. If you would like to join ARES in your local county, please sign up at the ARRL STX Depot site at the link below. Every EC needs to be submitting a report each month: If you are not submitting your monthly reports or have nothing to report then simply put you have nothing to report when submitting your report. If you are an EC and submitting your monthly reports, Thank you. If you are interested in becoming an EC, please look over the requirements at the link below to decide if it is for you. We still have a few openings for EC’s throughout the section, so if you are interested check out the map on our ARRL STX Depot website to see what is available: There have been several new EC’s appointed and a few DEC’s as well this year. I am looking forward to visiting as many as I can squeeze in this year. As it has been a little while since my last newsletter to the South Texas Section there have been a few changes, as well as several Hamfests and Tailgate events created for our section.
