Subject: [ARES-SE] Leadership change

This note concerns a change in the leadership of the Southeast ARES
group.

After several years as the Emergency Coordinator (EC) for the Southeast
ARES group Mike Urich, KA5CVH, has decided to step down as EC.  I have
been asked to step up and accept the position of EC for Southeast Harris
County ARES.  I have accepted that challenge and look forward to working
with each of you to continue to build the Southeast ARES group.

I want to thank Mike for all of the hard work that he has done as the
EC.  The position of EC has a lot of responsibilities.  Mike has been
instrumental in getting the county ARES web pages up and running along
with developing a database of ARES members.  Mike will continue to be a
valuable member of our Southeast ARES group and he will be helping me
through this transition period.

Please allow me to introduce myself.  I was first licensed in 1965 as a
Novice with a call sign of N5NOH.  Later I passed the General exam and
was awarded the call sign of WA5QOQ.  When I went off to college in 1968
I had to let my license expire and dropped out of ham radio for about 30
years.  I reentered the hobby in 1995 and earned the Extra class license
with the call sign AD5CQ.  I am interested in building antennas and
using my amateur radio skills and abilities to help other people.  I am
a member of both the Clear Lake Amateur Radio and JSC Amateur Radio
clubs.

There is a steep learning curve for being an EC.  I am expecting to be
communicating with you a lot over the next several weeks and months.  I
like using email but if you prefer to call me on the phone or make a
personal visit those are OK too.  My contact information is:

Home phone: 281-484-2949

Work phone: 281-335-2147

Cell phone: 281-910-1132

Email: ad5cq at arrl.net

Favorite repeaters: 146.860 (-)(100.0) and 146.640 (-)(no tone)

We are now in hurricane season.  Please make sure that you have done the
following:

1.	Make a personal plan of what you will do in the event of a
hurricane entering our area.
2.	Check your radio equipment for charged batteries, fix broken
connectors or do what ever you need to get your station ready to support
an emergency event.
3.	If you plan to leave the area during a hurricane then please
consider leaving early to avoid the "rush".

Field Day:

I will be with the Clear Lake Amateur Radio Club at the Sylvan Rodriguez
Park on Clear Lake City Blvd.  Please consider coming out to this
location during Field Day and give me a chance to meet you and talk with
you about Southeast ARES.

Weekly nets:

Please consider being a part of our weekly net each Tuesday evening at
8:00 pm on the JSC repeater, 146.640 (-) (no tone).  We need to build up
our net activity.  This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions
about ARES and get answers to technical questions about ARES and ham
radio.

This email listserver:

I am unable to know just who is a part of this email list.   That is an
issue that I am working on.  In the meantime I am asking you to respond
to this note and let me know:

1. That you want to continue to be a member of the Southeast ARES
(please say "yes")

2. What are your general plans in the event of a hurricane?  Do you plan
to evacuate or is there a served agency that you plan to support or just
plan to ride it out?

3. What is the best way of contacting you?  What is an alternate method
of contact for you?

This has been a long note and I have much more to share with you.  I
expect to be sending more emails later.  Please contact me if you have
any questions or if I can be of service to you in support of ham radio
or ARES.

--George Fletcher, AD5CQ
