Treasurer
Mike Hankins, KI5M (incumbent ) is willing to serve another term.
Board of Directors Gerald Richmond, N5ZXJ (presently vice president) is willing to serve as a director.
That leaves President and Secretary needing candidates. Nomi-nations will be accepted from the floor at election time at TARC s November club meeting.

Long-serving W5 Incoming QSL Bureau Manager Jerry Chouinard, K5YAA, has re-cently suffered some health problems that have caused him to retire. The new Man-ager is Peter Mann, KF5RD.

We had an outstanding turnout of VEs but the num-ber of candidates was down. Thanks to all that supported this major test session.
The high point of this session was the eight year old that passed Technician with a very high score. The very proud grandfather al-most had to be tied down. They headed back to the Expo to purchase a new radio.
This is the type of thing that makes being a VE worthwhile.
Once again, a BIG thank you to Mike Rhoden for sponsoring us at the Belton municipal Courts and Police Station facility.

KEY CLICKS
FROM THE
ARMADILLO
of training for those interested in furthering their Amateur Radio EMCOMM education.
Myron, N5TFK and Frankie, KA5IHY are looking for a few good TARC members to fill officer positions for 2011. I encourage you to consider running for one of the TARC officer positions: president, vice president, or secretary. Mike Hankins, KI5M has already volunteered to run for treasurer again. None of the positions requires a lot of time or work.
The Fall HamEXPO is the first Saturday in October. I request all TARC members to come out to make this another great event. David Woolweaver, director of ARRL s West Gulf Division, and John Stratton, vice director for the West Gulf Division will be in attendance and have requested a table for ARRL. Be sure and take the time to greet them. David was at our October meeting but John was not able to be here.
We are planning a HamEXPO volunteers breakfast on Oct. 9, the weekend following HamEXPO.
Here are those recommended emergency responder courses that are available from FEMA. These courses are available free of charge from the FEMA Independent Study Website. These are just a few of the many FEMA courses that apply to Amateur Radio emergency communications:
IS-100, Introduction to Incident Command System IS-200, ICS for Single Resources and Initial Action Incidents IS-700.A, National Incident Management System (NIMS), An Introduction IS-800.B, National Response Framework, An Introduction IS-802, Emergency Support Functions (ESF) #2 Communications
Additional courses available from other sources:
Intro to Emergency Communications Level 1/Basic, ARRL Public Service and Emergency Communica- tions Management for Radio Amateurs,
ARRL Introduction of Disaster Services, American Red Cross.

It s a Birthday! The Amateur Radio Emer-gency Service (ARES) will be celebrating its 75th anniversary from September through December 2010.
The national association for Amateur Radio has provided ham radio emergency communications for agencies such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, count-less Emergency Operations Centers, and other rescue operations in times of disas-ter. From ice storms to hurricanes, when normal communications systems were down or overloaded, the Amateur Radio operators of the ARES programs responded to requests for communications aid.
Over the years, the equipment has changed, but the decentralized communica-tions nets that ARES can operate to blanket regions without the need for other infrastruc-ture remain critical in emergency plan-ning. Recognition of this capability has led to renewed formal agreements with DHS, FEMA, NOAA, and other federal agencies.
With over 20,000 of the country s 680,000 plus Amateur Radio operators in-volved in ARES, all of them truly amateur and providing their time, services, knowl-edge, and equipment totally uncompensated, I believe they are more than worthy of recog-nition for their 75 years of community ser-vices in the worst of times. Happy Birthday ARES!

I want to personally thank all of the TARC members and VEs that helped on Friday and Saturday setting up and running HamEXPO and the VE test session. I believe this is one of the better HamEXPOs we have held. To me, it looked like it ran very smoothly. I had a number of Hams comment that they appreciated TARC sponsoring HamEXPO and wished to ex-press their thanks for all we did to put it on. I also had several Hams comment that they thought it was very well run and appreciated our hard work. Great job TARC and VEs. Another success to be proud of. TARC will sponsor a thank you breakfast Saturday, Oc-tober 9, at the Golden Corral in Temple for TARC members and VEs. Please arrive by 9 a.m. Breakfast will be on TARC. Please look for me to get a voucher for breakfast. I have asked for a long table so we can eat as a group. John WB5BFS
