July 2008 Newsletter

Published 07/05/2008 | By WD4NYL
ALERT NEWSLETTER — July 2008 Vol. 2 No. 1 Hi everyone & welcome to your ALERT Newsletter. With this newsletter I begin my second term as ALERT President. The first thing I want to say is “thank you” for your support and your work, which made the first term a success. It’s YOUR work and efforts that have made possible the things we have done. Among the achievements of the last year were the revision and ratification of our Constitution and Bylaws, the revival of Board or Directors meetings, and our obtaining 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. 2007 — 2008 was a year that focused on restructuring & strengthening the ALERT organization.

Our operators need to know how to use the tools and technology — both old and new — which we have at our disposal. </strong Continue reading →

And, you better had be there too. I remember my first hamfest back in 1978. I was a Novice & didn’t know really what to expect. But, what I found was a young ham’s version of The Promised Land. I had never seen so many toys, gizmos & equipment. Flashing blinking lights. I like flashing blinking lights. I was broke, of course, as usual…as today…but that didn’t matter. I could touch the stuff anyway. And, so many hams. Some not very pretty, but, hams none-the-less. I passed my Technician test that hamfest. I was trying for my General, but my code was mushy, so the Technician was the consolation prize. But, I loved it. There is a Continue reading →

4/11/2008 was a big day for the Alabama Storm Trackers especially on an exposure level.“ We just wanted to direct everyone to our blog and show some of the coverage that we were able to capture on our live stream.“ We are basically taking this opportunity to thank all of our sponsors who have supported us.“ This post will also be featured on the 33/40 blog page.“ With the help of GRLevelX, Allisonhouse products, SevereStreaming.com, Autonet Mobile, Cyfre and Maximum Signal we were able to intercept and relay video of this dangerous weather in a timely fashion.“ Our coverage was watched by the National Weather Service as well during this event.“ The spotternetwork also proved to play a key role in one of our critical storm reports as it always does.“ Thanks again everyone!
