SCEMD has requested SCHEART support the 2024 "All Shook Up" State Full Scale Exercise . This requires SCHEART repeaters to be linked from 0830 to 1700 on March 12 and 13th. These two days directly support state and county agencies along with communication units and AUXCOMM member training. Then on March 16 from 0830 until 1500 the network will be linked to support ARES/RACES/AUXCOMM training. During these training periods, amateur operators are free to monitor the frequencies and may participant during open nets but should refrain from using the system if not supporting the exercise activities. The repeaters will return to normal operation outside these periods. The DMR network will be in emergency operations mode during the link periods. Any emergency or priority traffic may be reported at anytime. This year's exercise will focus on the possible impact of a major earthquake. -- Dave, WB5NHL Treasurer, NABRC

"Today we say goodbye to our beloved founder, Dr. Bob Heil. Bob fought a valiant, year-long battle with cancer, and passed peacefully surrounded by his family. Bob’s impact on professional and live sound cannot be overstated. Driven by a lifelong passion for sound, Bob’s pioneering work revolutionized how concertgoers experienced live sound. Bob created and developed numerous pro sound innovations and products over the years, some of which are preserved in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. In 2007, Bob was the recipient of the Audio Innovator Parnelli Award, recognizing his outstanding influence on the live sound industry. Countless artists, creators, broadcasters, podcasters, sound engineers, and sound professionals worldwide continue to be impacted by Bob’s work. While Bob’s presence will dearly be missed, we are immensely proud and happy to honor and carry on his legacy.” -- Dave, WB5NHL Treasurer, NABRC

All, The following are talking points for SC HR4549. Please spread this to your club members and as many hams as possible. We have been informed that H.R.4549 "The Amateur Radio Antenna Protection Act," which was pre-filed by Rep Fawn Pedalino and co-sponsored by representatives, Guffey, Taylor, Leber, Felder, Hardee and Burns will be read in session on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. The Bill will remove private land restrictions on some antennas for amateur radio use. We would like to show the legislators in SC our support for this bill. We are asking for amateur radio operators to rally for this bill and attend the reading at the State House in Columbia. We need as many operators as possible to be at the state house. We want to fill the upper gallery with amateur radio operators to show our numbers in the state. Please, if you can join us make plans to be at the session. The session begins at 10 am, please arrive by 9 am to make sure you get a seat. The State House Address is 1100 Gervais St, Columbia, SC 29201. There are parking lots and a parking deck on Assembly Street, within a block or two of the SC State House. Talking points: What is Amateur Radio? It’s a volunteer public service and a technical hobby. Amateur Radio operators use designated radio frequencies for the non-commercial exchange of messages and information, wireless communications experimentation, self-training, preparedness, and emergency communications. Unlike Citizen Band (CB) or family radio service (FRS), Amateur Radio operators must be licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), through a testing procedure. The FCC created the Amateur Radio Service to fill the need for a pool of experts who could provide auxiliary communications during emergencies. As an all-volunteer service, Amateur Radio is the largest unfunded communications asset in the world. Countless lives have been saved and successful relief missions have been credited to Amateur Radio not only in the US but worldwide. Many times, during natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and wildfires, primary modes of communication are rendered useless by overloading or infrastructure damage. Amateur Radio is there to offer communications and get the message through without the need for infrastructure. Amateur Radio volunteers in South Carolina regularly take part in exercises, training events, and real-world activations for emergency communications. Amateur Radio Programs like Skywarn assist the National Weather Service (NWS) in storm spotting, classification, and reporting. South Carolina Amateurs not only provide volunteer hours but also supply their equipment to support the mission. They are prepared to be a self-sustaining asset when deployed. In addition to the emergency communications aspect, operators around the state support Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) like the Red Cross, Salvation Army, South Carolina Baptist Convention, and other Voluntary Organizations Active in Disasters (VOAD) entities. South Carolina’s Amateur Radio community also provides wireless communications support to local charity and community events, 5 and 10K races, community festivals, charity sporting events, etc. Over the last two years (2022-2023) the Amateur Radio community in South Carolina provided over 8,000 volunteer hours during some 300 events for emergency communications, training, and Skywarn activities as well as providing their own handheld, base station, mobile transceivers and repeaters totaling more than $370,000 in communication service to various communities and the state of South Carolina. During that same period, the South Carolina Amateur Radio Community provided approximately 6,000 hours of volunteer hours during the community during 90 charity and community events throughout the state. When the value of the equipment provided by the amateurs for these events, the value of the community service is more than $340,000. Amateur Radio is an incubator for education, exploration, and experimentation within the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
