National Preparedness Month: Ensuring Family Safety
September is?. In coordination with our partners at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the??is producing a series of weekly articles to help radio amateurs and their families stay safe.
See previous stories:
For a ham or any other public safety responder, whether paid or volunteer, it is not uncommon to be called out to provide assistance during disasters. We often do not know when we will be called or exactly what the call will involve. We also do not know how long we may be deployed. In the last edition, we focused on our go kit and the tools we should have to deploy as an amateur radio volunteer. But have we made sure our family is prepared for these times, whether we are deployed or will be staying home?
As the theme of this month suggests, ARRL Director of Emergency Management Josh Johnston, KE5MHV, says it comes down to being prepared. "Make a plan with your family and ensure basic supplies are available including water, food and first aid capabilities. Do you have a generator or alternate power capabilities and do your family members know how to use it? Have a communications plan, including backup communications, with family members and friends," he said.
Johnston says to ensure your family knows where to go if they must evacuate for some reason. Always remember your family and your health and safety should always come first.
"Remember that there may be a time that you are the victim. There may be a time that you must turn down a request for assistance because you must take care of your family first. Ask if you can be put in a slot later down the roster to allow time to get your family to safety or have everything settled to ensure your family is cared for before deployment," said Johnston.
ARRL recognizes the tremendous work ham radio volunteers put into serving their communities. "If your mind is not on the mission, you may be putting yourself and others at risk. Therefore, you should ensure your family's wellbeing before, during and after a major event," Johnston continued.

Re: Icom D-Star/analog repeaters question!
For what it's worth. I’m certainly interested in learning and using this technology.
Bill, KJ7YSN
Hello Walt!
It is a new club that was reportedly formed in order to be able to place a "club callsign" on the new D-Star repeater here in town.
The club call is KK7RUU.
That's all I know for sure so far, although the trustee of it, Mike AG7YO, definitely expressed interest in talking to the KBARA about the possibility of signing an agreement to co-locate at one of the KBARA repeater sites. That's something they will have to talk to the club officers about and then the membership will need to vote on, if it's presented as an option.
Please do let me know if there's any more questions or concerns or information or ideas about all of this!

Hello all,
Now that we have a new 440 D-star repeater here in town being operated by the Hogback Amateur Radio Club, would the KBARA be interested in a 2 meter and/or 440 D-star repeater as well?
There is a new in box Icom ID-RP4010V (440 version) and a new in box Icom ID-RP2010V (144 version) available from a ham in Virginia for $1000 each with free shipping. These repeaters normally cost $1,799.99 new.
They would also need power supplies, duplexers, feedlines, antennas, and rack space to get on the air.
These repeaters are “mixed mode” in that they can act as both D-Star (digital) and FM (analog), so a D-Star capable radio would not be required to use them.
They would be a great addition to the club’s assets, especially with open space on Stukel Mountain, open space on Plum Ridge (if we’re able to access it), as well as potential sites on Swan Lake Point or Applegate Butte if the owners would allow it for additional coverage in the Chiloquin and Sprague River areas. I believe Swan Lake Point would have the better coverage for those communities. Perhaps even could be used in the club trailer?
Anyone have any ideas or questions or comments or concerns about such a thing for the club?

From the ARRL Website:
It’s hard to think clearly during an emergency, and the last thing you want to do is leave something important behind. Use this checklist to gather essential items and prepare today for what might happen tomorrow.

Re: Monday lunch at Abby's Pizza
Just a reminder for tomorrow. Abby's up by the hospital will be where we meet. Not at the DMV one. 73 Alan KF3KF
Abby's by the DMV is doing construction which makes it very loud. Until further notice, club members will be meeting at the Campus Drive Abby's Pizza at 11am on Monday's instead of the one by the DMV.
