ARES – It’s working in Delaware County! Sometimes it’s helpful to step back and take a look at the broader picture. It helps us all to realize the overall performance of our organization, and to recognize the time our members devote to the community! According to information in ARES Connect (which I diligently keep up to date!), we have a roster of about 29 people. From January 1 this year, our group alone has contributed 750 hours of service! That includes monthly nets, monthly training, and events. Don’t fret about the first two freeloaders, we accumulate numbers from all over the state in our positions. Here are the numbers so far: N8BHL 185.75 K8YMN 102.7 K8COH 89 AD8EC 79.75 AC8YE 72 K8AOK 54 ke8jyz 50 KD8UUA 43 W8CR 41 WB2CWJ 39 w8erd 32 K8dl 29 K8MP 29 It doesn’t matter how many hours you have- even just one. You deserve our thanks, and we salute your participation! Speaking of events, one of the biggest of the year is coming at the end of this month- the Ironman 70.3! We have a group signed up but we certainly can use more! We work this event in cooperation with Marion County ARES- they shoulder the duty of managing the very long bicycle course which runs from Delaware Park up through Marion and Morrow counties. We pick the riders back up when they cross in to Delaware County and ride to downtown Delaware (Selby Stadium). There, they quickly put on their running shows and do a half-marathon! We cover the water stops and other key parts of that run. This is a BIG deal- the competition has been enlarged to 2600 athletes. So sign up on ARES Connect and go to the volunteer registration site for Ironman: http://www.ironman.com/triathlon/events/americas/ironman- 70.3/ohio/volunteer.aspx#axzz5tljWnOEy In the meantime, it’s important to keep our skills sharp. We’ve worked on event management, missing persons, damage assessment, and we have more training lined up! All are welcome! Thanks for everything you do!! July 20 - 21: Miami Valley Steam Thresher Show Plain City Again a tradition for several DELARA members- we assist Union County with operating a special event station. July 28: The big one! Ironman 70.3 Triathlon is back! This is an “all-hands” event with swim at Delaware State Park, bicycling up through Marion County and back downtown, then a run in the southern Delaware suburbs. August 5-6: “Vigilant Guard” Exercise Not sure if this will involved Delaware, it’s a big military-sponsored exercise shared through Ohio EMA

Amateur Radio is more than

a hobby- it becomes an

important service when

other forms of

communication fail. It’s up

to all of us to stay ready,

stay trained, and stay

available. We could be

required on a moment’s

notice.

Delaware County ARES is part of the national ARRL program. We rely on our volunteers. We operate during several large public events including the national-level Ironman competition. We hold a radio net on the 145.19 repeater (no tone) on the first Thursday of every month at 8PM. We hold a training meeting on the second Thursday of every month at 7:30 usually at the Red Cross building. All amateurs are invited! For information, contact Stan, N8BHL the Delaware County Emergency Coordinator, or Joe, K8MP or Craig, W8CR.

Ohio SEC Report

Lots of activity! This month, the SEC report is all about YOU! We are in the middle of “Activity Season” for ARES, and we’re going strong across the state! In fact, we’ve been going strong according to ARES Connect reports from the beginning of the year. Ohio is the first ARRL Section to completely switch to Connect for our monthly numbers. We are still recording your monthly narratives on the ARRL-Ohio website…please continue to file those reports! The monthly compilations of those comments are most valuable, and can be the seed that generates new ideas for your local activity. Here’s how we looked in June: ARES Connect Monthly Report – June 2019 Number of persons registered per District Number of hours volunteered per District in June Breakdown by Event Classification Top 10 persons for hours volunteered in June Top 10 persons for events volunteered in June Note: As an incentive to get folks using the system more, the Ohio Section Manager gave away a 2019 softcover Handbook to the person acquiring the most hours in the month of June. The winner was Todd Johnson, KD8UND. This is the second of such incentives that has been done since March of this year. Pay particular attention to the monthly hours total: 14,000 and counting for the month!! I can’t applaud your work, energy, and dedication more loudly. We have had great reports from Toledo (the Toledo Air Show) and several other large venues. Thank you so much for what you have done, and what you will no doubt continue to do throughout the summer.
