[Ccarc] FD Press release

[Chuck Hendrickson]

Tom, 

A reminder more to myself, I'll get with you regarding the proclamation from Mayor Fincher. Once you're done with the release I'll be more than happy to archive a copy for possible use next year in the computer. 
I remember seeing my info on last year's printed copy. Perhaps that was added for the purposes of the printed copy since my name was already mentioned in it. Oh well, anyway for anyone else that might need it for contacting me this week for things as well as the release.

  Rae sent me this from last year. Doesn't FD start at 2pm Saturday this year local time?

  If so...the time needs to be changed in the press release. Also should there be somethign about inviting the Public to stop by during field day to see the stations and visit with Club Members?

  Cass County Amateur Radio Club participates in disaster practice this weekend
  Amateur Radio Operators from around the state and nation this weekend will again be practicing for an activity they hope they never have to perform. Amateur Radio Field Day, a national disaster preparedness exercise, is Saturday and Sunday, and many local ham radio clubs will be participating, according to Chuck Hendrickson, president of the Cass County Amateur Radio Club. "Field Day is a chance for local hams to set up their equipment totally independent of commercially generated power as a practice for an emergency situation," Hendrickson said. This exercise prepares local hams for the possibility of emergencies such as tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and the like, in Cass County, or for deployment in other areas of the nation. For 24 continuous hours, local hams will be contacting other similar operations across the country. Hendrickson says the exercise gives local hams a chance to work the bugs out of any operations in advance of any call for emergency communications by area, state or federal emergency management agencies. Hendrickson said, "Ham operators have a long standing tradition of handling communication with the outside world from disaster sites all over the world when conventional means of communications have failed and stand ready to do it again. During hurricanes on the Gulf Coast, tornadoes in the midwest or other natural disasters, amateur radio operators continue volunteering their expertise to help thousands of people." The public is invited to visit Cass County Amateur Radio club's Field Day site at 2818 Indian Creek Road, just north of Logansport. The operation begins with set-up on Friday evening and continues with 24 hours of continuous operations beginning at 12 Noon on Saturday.
