Now is also the time to check ALL equipment and batteries for emergency use as it appears to be a long hot summer coming. With this in mind, also check into your local or hf nets to keep up to date and familize yourself with procedures and coverage. Keep up the good work. ARES and ACS are both growing in numbers and working together in the section. This type of emergency work is the backbone of our existance and should be kept in mind when dealing with any agency.
Cooperation is the key word.
I welcome you to the ranks of ARES and look forward to working with you in the future. If you have some folks you would like as ECs, please contact Lee Dibble about them and have him contact me for filing with the ARRL for them. We could use a few more down there in the city. Again, and with many thanks for volunteering, it is our pleasure and the sections pleasure, to have you as the DEC for the City and County of San Francisco. All committee members are volunteers.
