Greetings, all. This update puts us back on schedule. Most activity occurred the week of the Dayton Hamvention, with nets on May 13 and 15. Fortunately, the county again skirted serious damage, but other nearby counties were not as fortunate. Please remember that it CAN HAPPEN HERE! On a national level, there is some serious saber-rattling going on with the very unstable "government" of North Korea. Remember that they are closely tied to China, and that raises the ante.

Greetings, all. We have been busy processing in some new volunteers to help bolster our ranks. Some new radio equipment has been ordered for the Hendricks Co. EOC and should arrive soon. We will have several antennas to install on the roof of the Government Center. If you are available during the day and would like to help, please e-mail me at davidharl@earthlink.net.

Greetings, all. I hope you are finally getting to enjoy this stellar weather - it has been a long time in coming. I want to thank everyone who participated in the Hendricks County RACES/ARES Multi-frequency test net on April 18. The net lasted right around one hour and ten minutes. There were a few glitches, but overall, I think it went well. Here are the results for the six bands/frequencies tested.
147.165 2m repeater 19 check-ins Power levels ran from 60w to .5w.
147.450 2m simplex 12 check-ins with 4 relays Power used ran from 60w to 5w.

Hello everyone. I am David (Dave) Leimenstoll, N9XOQ, and I have taken over the position of Hendricks County RACES Radio Officer from Bob Burns, W9RXR, who continues to maintain this website. I can be frequently found on the 147.015 repeater after 10:00 am (varies), during my afternoon commute (2:45 - 3:25) and on my way home around 12:30 am. That is probably the best way to reach me.
