Howdy friends,

Field Day is coming on fast! I will be moving around to different sites
again this year, primarily in the Southwest. It would be great if you
would send me the address where your site will be this year.

A few things to think about while talking about Field Day!!

!  Field Day is different things to different people because they have
different interests. All those different things come together to be Ham
Radio. There can be something for anyone. Plan accordingly.

!  Please be Face-Forward to your served agencies. Invite them to the
site, walk around with them to help them understand that hams are a huge
resource for them. Grill a hot dog, and have a friendly chat about the
April Eclipse. They need to start thinking about it, but do not press
for specific plans just yet. Most of them have not started making
plans.

!  Practice doing EMCOMM. WinLink will be important during the Eclipse
for traffic to ADEM. Send an email to the Section Manager via WinLink.
Voice will be important for local situational awareness and possibly to
ADEM. Originate a message (with a number on it) to be sent via the
Razorback Net.

!  Stay cool and hydrated, and above all have a good time!

There are AUXCOMM classes now scheduled and listed on the ADEM Training
Schedule. It will look good to your served agencies if you have these
classes under your belt. They will know you are serious about being an
asset. Remember there are prerequisites before you can register. These
classes are an opportunity for Arkansas to lead the Nation in EMCOMM and
I hope to see you all there!

Please let me know how I might be of assistance.
