Pickaway County ARES

On-air Net Change

Saturday, 28 November 2009 18:43 scott hixon

   Starting in December, the on-air net that is on the 2nd Tuesday of each month will be an emergency power net.
   If able, all stations are asked to check in to the net using power other than the commercial power grid. This could be battery power, solar, checking in from your car, etc.. This will give you a chance to use an alternative power source just like you may have to do in the event of an emergency.
   Of course, even if you can't use an alternative power source, please check in to the net anyway.
   All of the other weekly on-air net will be held as usual. Hope to hear you on the net!!

Do You Belong?

Thursday, 19 November 2009 21:50 scott hixon

Are you an active member?
The kind who would be missed?
Or are you just contented
that your name is on the list?

Do you attend the meetings
and mingle with the flock?
Or do you meet in private
and criticize and knock?

Do you take an active part
to help the work along?
Or are you satisfied to be
the kind that just belongs?

Do you work on committees?
To this there is no trick;
or leave the work to just a few,
and talk about the click?

Please come to the meetings often,
and help with hand and heart.
Don't be just a member
but take an active part.

Think this over, members,
you know what's right from wrong.
Are you an active member,
or do you just belong?
