Thanks Ron for being there early.  I spoke with John K4QQ and he will have the doors open around 5 so the NWS will be able to setup.  I also will be bringing, Harvest Cookies and Apple and Cherry Swirls, Peanut Butter snack crackers and soft drinks.  Hope to see all there tonight.

  Hello Hams,

  Tonight provides an excellent opportunity to receive new, or refresher, training for ARES (Amateur Radio Emergency Service) with the Advanced Storm Spotter Training Class from the National Weather Service.  It is important that each ARES member stay up-to-date on their training.   This keeps each of us mentally fresh on the proper terminology and procedures to use when storm spotting for our community.  Not to mention the safety issues involved.

  We did not have a large turnout of our club or ARES members at last year's training.  I hope this new "Advanced" class will encourage you to attend this important and interesting training session.  

  I will be at the building early setup with a table for you to come by and update your ARES information that I have on hand.  I will also have forms for any new Amateur Radio Operators who would like to join our Chester County ARES program.  This is an important program that tends to be forgotten about as we have been lucky enough over time to not have to use/activate it here in Chester County.  However, our records and training must remain updated so the District Coordinator and myself will know who is willing and available to assist in a time of emergency and what current operating equipment/capabilities you have.

  Thank you for supporting our local Chester County ARES program.  I look forward to seeing each of you tonight at 6:00pm.

  73,

  Ron Means

  Emergency Coordinator,

  Chester County ARES
