TO: ALL ARES OPERATORS IN DISTRICT 3 (OFFICIAL)
ALL AMATEURS IN WEST VIRGINIA (INFORMATION)
FROM: WOOD COUNTY EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS INCORPORATED AND WOOD
COUNTY AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY SERVICES (ARES)
ARES DISTRICT 3 BULLETIN NR 08.38 DATE: September 21, 2008
SUBJECT: CHANGE IN ARES BULLETINS
Since March 17, 1991, Wood County Emergency Communications has been producing a weekly bulletin that we've hoped would be informative to Amateur Radio operators both ARES and Non-ARES members. The bulletins are geared toward Amateur Radio operators who assist in Emergency Communications. The bulletins don't always contain information about Amateur Radio, but they do pertain to activities which might help us be better communicators, by protecting ourselves and our equipment. A lot of the ideas for bulletins come from everyday activities and experiences that have happened, and that you might want to repeat or avoid. The bulletins were first written for official use to Amateur Radio operators in Wood County, and then on October 3, 1999, they were changed to Amateurs Radio operators in WV ARRL District 3. Since I've been asked to serve as the West Virginia Amateur Radio Relay League Section Emergency Coordinator, I thought it would be appropriate to make the bulletins official to all Amateur Radio operators in West Virginia. These bulletins can be used however the Amateurs feel they would best be distributed. They can be printed in club newsletters, posted on club websites, read on club radio nets, or used in any other way. Sometimes old bulletins are reprinted, with modifications, when we can't come up with an idea for a bulletin. To some, it will be an old bulletin, but if you've never seen the bulletin, it will be new to you. These bulletins are posted on the Wood Co Emergency Communications website: www.wc8ec.org. Anyone who has a bulletin, or an idea for a bulletin, can send it to me and we'll make it into a West Virginia ARES Bulletin, giving you the credit.
