extending my congratulations to the young men and women at Dixie Heights
who have joined the Amateur Radio fraternity!
WELCOME
NEW EC, DEC. Please join SEC Jim McDonnell, W2LTB and the SM in welcoming
two volunteers who have accepted ARES appointments in the Kentucky Section.
Shelby Ennis, W8WN, has been appointed EC of Hardin County. Shelby brings
with him years of experience in ARES. At a initial Hardin ARES meeting,
Nov. 11th, a group of interested amateurs, including the ECs of Nelson
and LaRue counties discussed topics for future trainings for the group.
Please also welcome Kenny Garrett, KG4HEV, who is the new DEC for KY District
3.
BE A PART
OF THE SOLUTION: VOLUNTEER! I can personally attest to the fact that
it is easier to sit on the sidelines and complain than it is to get active
and take action. The Kentucky Section is packed with talented and creative
Amateurs whose skills are needed across the Commonwealth. Are you active
in ARES? Does your county have an Emergency Coordinator? If not, would
you like to serve in that capacity? Do you have an interest in giving
back to our communities as a volunteer? Contact your county EC, District
Emergency Coordinator or SEC Jim McDonnell,
W2LTB for information on being a communications volunteer.
KY PUBLIC
INFORMATION COORDINATOR NEEDED. I'm seeking a candidate who is willing
to serve as State Public Information Coordinator. This is a section-level
appointment that is responsible for organizing, training, guiding and
coordinating the activities of the Public Information Officers (PIOs)
within the section. The PIC is the PR go-to person for the section, and
helps the media tell the story of Amateur Radio. For a full description
of the appointment, click
here. The PIC also is responsible for the Kentucky Section newsletter
and web site contests. Media experience is a plus, but the desire to "get
out the word" about Amateur Radio is also important. For more details,
contact KY SM, ky4z@arrl.org.
ACTIVITY
REPORTS. Station Activity, Public Service or net reports are due to
me by the 9th of each month. Your help in meeting this deadline is greatly
appreciated in order that the KY Section web site is updated in a timely
manner and the reports are submitted to ARRL HQ. Send your reports to
ky4z@arrl.org.

will make reporting and accountability more streamlined.

respective DECs by the 5th of the month. DECs need to have their reports
to me by the 10th of the month. Please fill out the reports completely
