IT MAY SEEM EARLY IN THE YEAR BUT SEVERE WEATHER IS ALREADY HERE! Over the past few months, we have experienced severe weather across all of TN, including se-vere winter weather, severe thunderstorms, tornadoes and flooding,. The severe weather brings with it a need for enhanced communications at a time when traditional modes may be down, and THIS is where amateur radio operators can provide a great service to their communities and wider areas. Not sure how to contribute to Amateur Radio Efforts? Here are a few suggestions to get you started: Take a SKYWARN class through the National Weather Service to keep you weather-spotting skills up to

date For more details, see NWS SKYWARN website at: https://www.weather.gov/skywarn/ Check the TN ARES website for information about local ARES groups, and CONTACT THEM to become a

member. tnares.com Being an ARES member will help you to become more involved BEFORE the need arises, so you will be

familiar with their processes before you are called upon to help. They will work with their served agency and will let you know when you need to deploy.

Find and participate in local , area and state-wide nets to become familiar with the “net norms” . These are listed for each section on the TN ARES website. Many are also listed in the “ARES Nets” section of this newsletter. tnares.com

Investigate upgrading your license to General or Amateur Extra - if you are not there already - to be able to use HF bands for emergency communications outside your area. See http://www.arrl.org/ for classes and exams schedules.

DO NOT SELF-DEPLOY!!!

Work with your local ARES leadership to determine if and when you are needed!!!

CONTESTING : Resources and Schedule Links

Amateur Radio provides several different areas of interest and focus for its enthusiasts. Some folks become interested in Amateur Radio to provide public service, some like the personal security of knowing that they will have communications with their friends and loved ones, whatever the status of public modes of communica-tion. Others like the challenge of contacting all states and countries, seeking awards like “Worked All States” or “DX Century Club”, and, for 2018, the ARRL International Grid Square Chase! Many like to participate in var-ious contests that take place throughout the year. There are many easy ways to find our how to become involved and how to fine-tune your contesting skills, or to find a contest to participate in.

AMATEUR RADIO EMERGENCY SERVICES (ARES) ... If you are not part of your local Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) group, please consider becoming a member.

They offer valuable services their served communities, not just in times of severe conditions, but many also serve the com-

munications needs for local events. As an ARES member, you will learn ways to enhance your Amateur Radio operating

skills BEFORE you need them. For more information about ARES in the ARRL TN section, check out web page at http://

tnares.com/ .

“ARES volunteers are licensed amateur radio operators who are organized and trained to provide emergency communica-
