Good deal.  Tell me who handles SAR in Australia? Is it run by the local
government in each area or privately run?
If you have the addresses to the various SAR authorities downunder, I would
like to compile them.  I have the national one for the USA and the Ontario
Canada Provincial one.

P.S.  Did Terry find the Internet site I told him to call and get the mail

out tomorrow and I still haven't decided who I am going to sign up with. I
have trouble with WinWeb
and get freme errors when I sign in, I emailed A&W in Kelowna like they said
but I didn't grt any reply so I am going to ask around about their service.
	 I downloaded a program called Winzip55.  It loaded ok but when I tried to
upgrade it to winzip56 it kept saying I didn't have enough memory, I got rid
of the TSR's  (after dark, clock etc) but that didn't help.  Sometimes I
wonder about this computer

amount of debriefing can erase the terribly awesome sights from your

assistant: Ed,
  I am the Ground Ops Officer for Ohio Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, and a
Squadron Commander.  I am responsible for the training of all the Ground
Teams in this state.  These teams while lead by Senior (adult) Members are
comprised almost entirely of cadet personnel.  These cadets range in age from
13 to 20 years of age and do the bulk of the search and rescue activity on
the ground.  They recieve their training in search and rescue techniques, and
then field skills to provide them with the expertise to function in a
wilderness environment.  They are also trained in the use of radio
communications equipment which includes VHF (voice and digital) and HF
radios.  They are instrumental in operations including communication nets and
the passing of mission related info.  Civil Air Patrol maintains an extensive
radio system across the country using 148.150 as the primary recieve freq. on
the repeater pair and as simplex operations.  If I can be of assistance in
contacting someone in your area please feel free to contact me here on this
conference, or INTERNET perehman@aol.com
  I have a team in my unit with cadet personnel in it and would place them
into competition around the state except for the fact that I am the chief
judge in the competitions and somehow I think someone would cry foul....
