ARES(R) Briefs, Links

Mississippi was struck by a severe winter storm on January 24, primarily impacting many areas north of I-20 with a coating of ice.

Section Emergency Coordinator Robert Hayes, KC5IMN, reported that ARES activated emergency communications networks state wide, starting at noon on Friday, January 23, to provide critical storm reporting and support for
served agencies.

Operators utilized a combination of DMR talkgroups, HF (3862 kHz and 7238 kHz SSB), and local VHF/UHF repeaters to monitor conditions and prioritize life-safety traffic throughout the duration of the event.

On The Air LIVE Offers Learning Opportunities for ARRL Members -- On the Air LIVE offers a monthly opportunity for hams to receive instructional content from ARRL Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF. Each month, Wayne
provides a topic that is related to various capabilities, practices, and abilities within amateur radio.

"My goal is to inspire ham radio operators to try something new or try different approaches to enhance their ham radio experience," says Greene.
"In the past year, we have covered topics including how to use your
handheld, a deep dive into APRS, how to send and receive SSTV images, and how to use your ham radio privileges to keep in contact with family and loved
ones outside of a disaster area where you may be at that moment." On the
Air LIVE airs on the ARRL Learning Center, (learn.arrl.org [ http://learn.arrl.org ] ) on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 8 PM
Eastern.


Ever wondered what it's really like to take a low-power radio into the
field and make contacts with just a few watts? Did you know you can conduct a Parks on the Air (POTA) operation with a super-small QRP transceiver, an ultralight antenna, and a smartphone? Join ARRL Education Specialist Wayne Greene, KB4DSF, as he discusses the challenge and fun of QRP field
operations.

He will cover beginner-friendly basics like small QRP rigs, antenna
selections, batteries, and CW versus digital modes.

He will discuss his favorite QRP equipment and techniques.
If you're curious about portable operation or ready to take your first
steps into QRP, then join Wayne on the ARRL's Learning Center on February 24
at 8:00 pm Eastern. The livestream is free to ARRL members.

Preregistration is required and can be accomplished on the Learning Center.

The new 60-meter frequencies [ https://tinyurl.com/mt8p8jpa ] approved by the FCC in December are now available to amateurs along with new power
restrictions on those frequencies. It's a bit confusing, as different rules apply to different segments of the band. The changes result from the FCC's action to approve a worldwide 60-meter amateur allocation made by the World Radiocommunication Conference in 2015 (WRC-15).


As of February 13, 2026, FCC-licensed amateur operators holding General-class or higher licenses may operate on a secondary basis anywhere between 5351.5
and 5366.5 kHz, subject to a maximum bandwidth of 2.8 kHz and maximum
transmit power of 9.15 watts ERP (effective radiated power). For the purpose
of computing ERP, the transmitter PEP (peak envelope power) is multiplied by the antenna gain relative to a half-wave dipole antenna. A half-wave dipole
is presumed to have a gain of 1 (0 dBd). Amateurs using other antennas must maintain in their station records either the antenna manufacturer's data on
the antenna gain or calculations of the antenna gain.


Here's the confusing part: The existing 60-meter channels centered on 5332, 5348, 5373, and 5405 kHz remain as secondary amateur allocations with maximum power of 100 watts ERP. However, the old channel at 5358.5 kHz is eliminated
as it is now part of the new 5351.5-5366.5 kHz subband and subject to the
lower power limit.


For all 60-meter transmissions, emission bandwidth is limited to 2.8 kHz or less and amateurs must not cause harmful interference to, and must accept interference from, stations authorized by the United States (NTIA and FCC)
and other nations in the fixed service; and all other nations in the mobile service (except aeronautical mobile). Data or RTTY emissions in particular
must be limited in transmission length so as not to cause harmful
interference.

Digital mode operators must be familiar with offsets in order to stay within the authorized frequencies.

ARRL Director Tharp, KB7HDX, Receives Search-and-Rescue Award: Mark Tharp, KB7HDX, Director of the ARRL Northwestern Division, has received the Hall of Honor Award for 35 years of service to the Yakima Search and Rescue group [ https://yakimasar.org/ ] . Tharp called the award "unexpected and very much appreciated," adding, "You don't do volunteer work to get awards, you
do it because it's needed and makes a difference." Tharp was first
licensed in 1989 and now holds an Extra-class license. He became a ham after spending time with a ham friend, while exploring the mountains in the northwestern United States.

"The Yakima Search and Rescue group continues to grow and help volunteers
train and keep over 100 sports-related locations safe," said Tharp. He remembered one particular rescue that involved a young boy and his cat.

The boy had been missing for several hours and it was getting dark and
cloudy.

"We were tired but didn't quit. I sat down on a hillside and using an
infrared camera we were able to find him and his cat, cold but OK."


Tharp is retired now, but as the ARRL Northwestern Division Director, he represents members in Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. He is
an ARRL Life Member and a member of the ARRL Diamond Club [ http://www.arrl.org/the-arrl-diamond-club?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL%20]%20and%20ARRL%20Maxim%20Society%20[%20http://www.arrl.org/maxim-society&utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL

CARE TO PREPARE: ARES LAX Northeast and International Partners Put Skills to the Test


On January 31, 2026, ARES operators in southern California joined forces with amateur radio operators across Europe for an ambitious and hands-on emergency communications exercise: CARETOPREPARE. What began as a "fun radio
exercise" quickly proved to be something more?-"an immersive, fast-paced
test of preparedness, discipline, and technical versatility that delivered
real value to everyone involved.


A Global Exercise with Local Impact

The exercise brought together 16 ARES LAXNORTHEAST operators in California
and 21 operators from Germany, Austria, and Italy, coordinated through
Winlink Treff and WLNET-OE. While California stations ran the exercise live
in a single operational period, European stations participated over the
course of a week, following detailed instructions prepared by Patrick Langer, OE1LHP. The result was a rare blend of local emergency communications
practice and international cooperation.


Southern California operations were conducted on the DARN repeater system for voice coordination, with Winlink traffic flowing over local 1.25-meter, 2-meter, and 70-centimeter frequencies. APRS with VARA FM supported tactical status updates on a designated 2-meter frequency. European stations demonstrated impressive flexibility, employing HF, VHF, UHF, and SHF, and
using VARA HF, PACTOR, packet, and HamNet.


Nine Tasks, One Objective: Readiness

Operators were challenged to complete nine structured tasks, all grounded in real-world emergency communications needs:

?-?Maintaining an ICS-214 activity log
?-?Checking in and out via Winlink
?-?Completing multiple polls covering radio kits, personal preparedness,
and local resources

?-?Submitting weather reports, welfare bulletins, and a complete ICS-205
Radio Communications Plan


Stations worked across multiple data formats?-"Winlink forms, online polls, APRS status updates?-"while keeping pace with the evolving scenario.
Responses were collected and displayed on an exercise dashboard in near real time, adding both visibility and pressure.


By the Numbers?-"and What They Mean

Over the course of the exercise, 321 Winlink messages were received from stations in California, New York, and across Europe. California operators demonstrated excellent net discipline, stayed on task, and maintained operational focus under time pressure. Areas for improvement were identified
as well, including consistency in incident naming and careful formatting when data is destined for CSV output.


The collected data painted a valuable picture of readiness:
?-?26 stations completed the Radio Kit Poll, reporting an average
preparedness level of 65%

?-?27 stations completed the Personal Preparedness Poll, averaging 80% preparedness, with about 7 days of food and water

?-?217 local resources were identified across 26 Resource Polls
?-?25 ICS-205 plans and 34 welfare bulletins were successfully
transmitted


These numbers weren't just statistics?-"they became take-home tools
operators can use to improve their own preparedness and support their communities.


Learning Through Doing

As District Emergency Coordinator Oliver Dully, K6OLI, put it: "In addition
to valuable on-air practice, we wanted radio operators to walk away with a Radio Kit Check List, a Family Preparedness List, a detailed list of local resources, and a workable ICS 205 Radio Communications Plan. Some operators involved their families and friends in the exercise, thus strengthening and preparing an even wider community."


That goal clearly resonated. Checkout comments revealed practical lessons learned: the need for hard-copy phone lists, better-organized go-kits,
offline access to GPS data, and backup computers with fully updated software. Operators sharpened their Winlink skills, discovered new hardware solutions, improved antenna deployment techniques, and gained confidence using digital modes such as VARA FM and HF text messaging.


More Than an Exercise

CARETOPREPARE succeeded because it struck the right balance. It identified training gaps without discouragement, tested operators' ability to follow instructions, and provided technical and organizational challenges in a supportive environment. Questions were answered on the air, peer-to-peer help was encouraged, and experimentation was welcomed.


Just as important, the exercise strengthened international goodwill. Amateur radio once again proved its unique ability to connect communities across borders while serving a serious public-service mission.


In short, CARETOPREPARE reminded us why we train: not just to pass traffic,
but to be ready?-"technically, operationally, and personally?-"when it
matters most. More information [ https://www.laxnortheast.org/exercises/5th-saturday-exercises/2026-caretoprepare

Amateur Radio at the 2026 Loppet City of Lakes Winter Festival

This year, for the 2000-participant City of Lakes Winter Festival [ https://loppet.org/event/winter-festival-2/2026-01-31/ ] in Minneapolis, Minnesota?-"a two-day (January 31-February 1) festival that includes a
variety of cross-country ski, fat bike, and other events?-"we were requested
to support medical communications.

The event runs stretch a few miles south from our park and can have up to
five water stops/aid stations. We support these for medical and coordinate Supplies, Athletes, and Gear (SAG) vans.


We operate outdoors at the water stops on open tables in the snow for five hours per day. I updated and provided to our operators and event managers the ICS 205 (Incident Radio Communications Plan) and ICS 206 (Medical Plan)
forms: Event managers accept these forms as input for the master Event Action Plans or as the only forms for the smaller events.


I recruited five operators for Saturday, with four being new to ski races.
The injury rate for cross country (Nordic) ski events seems low: There is not
a lot of speed involved, and heatstroke (a problem with marathons) is less common. We had just one aid station on Saturday.


We were also trying out a new dual-mode (FM) Icom IC-RP-4010V repeater converted from the data mode only unit. (In general, I find multiple incompatible digital voice modes to be in direct conflict with the concept of "interoperability" used by FEMA with respect to emergency
communications).


We arrived at our water stop ahead of the main wave of volunteers so I
provided rudimentary training on mixing energy drinks and on trying to keep liquids from freezing in the 12 degree temperatures.


The next day it was snowing.
Turnout from hams was barely enough-three. John Kristian, W6JMK, one of the trainees, took the Par Three water stop and I took the new water stop for the day.

Peter Corbett, KD8GBL, served as the Net Control Station (NCS). We remembered that despite ten feet of mast outside, we were blocked from one of our repeaters by a 40-foot hill. Simplex worked fine.

The event staff used Whatsapp, and have 31 loaned P25 radios from a local hospital for medical, business and operational use.

Peter handed me the event radio as I was technically our Event Lead and was today out in the field.


I got to the new water stop down a hill from the parking lot. There was a
good supply of volunteers but the path leading down to the area was a
nightmare of refrozen melted snow hidden by a thin layer of new snow. I
called it in on the operations radio and asked for cherry grit, which was not allowed by park regulation on grass. The Race Director said she was on the
way.


A person fell on the ice.
I carefully walked over to assess.
Another volunteer comforted and chatted with the person.
I called Medical on the event radio and reported to the doctor.
Staff arrived with orange cones and tape.
Kristian reported to his stop and was again ahead of the main wave of
helpers.

Training had been helpful as we were able to make ourselves useful: our stop was busy. All in all, it was a great day.

I asked Doc later how we did: The injury assessment (aka triage) was correct. The person who helped was actually a former EMT.

We have been taking first aid classes but are not what could be called experienced.

The protocol is basic, fast triage first, and call for help as indicated.

ARRL Emergency Communications and Field Services Committee Files 2025 Year
End Report


The ARRL Board's Emergency Communications and Field Services Committee (EC
& FSC) reported committee activity in its January report to the ARRL Board of Directors. The committee reported its commitment to improving Emergency Communications and Field Services for the organization: "Our objective is
to develop a more responsive, efficient, and collaborative setting that fortifies our Field Organization while involving the wider amateur radio community," it said.


The new ARES training modules have been refined and promoted with the goal of ensuring volunteers are well-trained, proficient, and ready to serve when necessary. This includes emphasizing standard operating procedures, interoperability with served agencies, and proficiency in various digital and voice modes. Additionally, the aim is to equip local ARES groups with the
tools and knowledge needed to succeed, particularly in challenging
conditions.



"Another portion of our work thus far has focused on our NTS and message handling systems," the committee reported.

"We now have a MOU with Radio Relay International (RRI). While RRI operates independently, it shares a common goal with NTS in providing reliable message relay capabilities.

RRI inclusion has benefitted NTS greatly in improvement of methods and
networks that complement NTS, especially for long-haul or specialized
traffic.

The goal is to create an ecosystem where amateur radio operators have diverse options for message handling, ensuring redundancy and adaptability.

By coordinating with reliable traffic systems, we aim to enhance national readiness."


"Our efforts to improve the field organization have also included attention
to our Affiliated Clubs," the report continued, noting that local clubs
play a significant role in the amateur radio community by providing training, facilitating social connections, and participating in public service activities.

"We are actively seeking innovative ways to enhance our support for
Affiliated Clubs, which includes the development of new resources tailored to their needs." "This commitment reflects our understanding of the
important role these clubs play in promoting amateur radio at the grassroots level," the committee said. "By strengthening our support for local
clubs, we aim to empower them to thrive and better serve their communities.

Our ongoing efforts will ensure that these organizations continue to be
vibrant and effective contributors to the amateur radio landscape."


Projects Update

A complete rewrite of the ARES training program has been undertaken with the Basic and Intermediate courses already implemented along with their
respective Task Books. The Advanced and Leadership Courses are still works in progress. A new ARES Banner has been introduced, along with several new ARES brochures. An update to the ARES Plan has been completed.


QST Discusses "Future-Proofing ARES"

There is ongoing advertising support for ARES in nearly all issues of QST. Starting with the January 2026 issue of QST, and going through the entire
year will be a number of articles written by former Atlantic Division
Director Bob Famiglio, K3RF, and Great Lakes Division Director Scott Yonally, N8SY, and other authors about "Future-Proofing ARES," and where it might be
in 5 to 10 years from now.


"The committee's work has enabled ECs, DECs, and SECs to complete their
monthly reporting duties more efficiently," the report noted. "Consistent improvement in reporting is now anticipated from all 71 Sections. Quarterly meetings with SECs and ARRL Emergency Communications and Field Services Director Josh Johnston, KE5MHV, have been underway and on a regular
routine."


National Traffic System (NTS) Updates

The committee reinstituted the three Area Staffs. A Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with Radio Relay International [ https://www.arrl.org/files/file/EMCOMM/2025/RRI-and-ARRL-MOU-2025.pdf?utm_source=Informz&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=ARRL
] (RRI) was signed and formal NTS cooperation is now underway with RRI. Continued refinement and improvements are being made to NTS 2.0's Radiogram Portal project as it continues to evolve with enhancements and added functionality on the website.


Continued growth in the readership of the NTS Letter is a reflection of how much interest there still is in handling traffic.

It now has over 3,200 people viewing it every month.
A new NTS Recognition Certificate that can be utilized by most of the Net Managers or Section Managers for special recognition within the NTS has been implemented.

A new training project is available: this project is being conducted on Zoom for those who cannot use HF.

Since it is not being conducted on RF, it can include participants who are unlicensed, hold a Technician Class license, or are only licensed for GMRS to assist with their training.


A new virtual traffic network has been initiated to encourage
Technician-class operators to engage in traffic handling, taking into account their limitations on HF frequency operations. To keep things interesting for our traffic handlers a "Treasure Hunt" was created and has been a huge
success.


A Busy Year for the EC&FSC

The EC&FSC was exceptionally active during 2025. "I am very proud of the collaborative efforts and dedication demonstrated by all of our committee members, HQ staff, and numerous field volunteers," said chairman Scott
Yonally, N8SY, Director, Great Lakes Division.

National Traffic System Update, Traffic Handler Resources

The ARRL National Traffic System(R) (NTS(R)) is an important network of amateur radio operators who move information during disasters and other emergencies.

General messages offering well?wishes also move through the NTS(R) to help
test the system and to help amateur radio operators build traffic handling skills.

While the NTS(R) is primarily set up to serve the United States and Canada, it is possible to move traffic internationally through the NTS(R) via various local, regional, area, and international network connections.


Modernization of NTS (The NTS 2.0 Project)

The current National Traffic System (NTS) is comprised of dedicated operators well trained and practiced in the art of traffic handling. They participate
in nets at the local, section, region, and area levels 365 days per year.


Yet we cannot ignore reality: the proliferation of low-cost/free telephone calls, text messaging, and the worldwide web means today's general public has many alternatives to traditional radiograms. As a result, much of today's NTS traffic consists solely of amateur-to-amateur messages: "welcome to amateur radio," "license expiration," etc. In addition, there are serious questions
as to the accuracy and reliability of our networks.

Finally, it should be noted that some public agencies have never heard of
NTS; or, have begun creating their own backup messaging systems.


Historically, NTS and ARES were two branches of the old ARPSC, the Amateur Radio Public Service Corps. While the ARPSC is gone, the two branches remain tied together and serve in a symbiotic way. For more information regarding
the modernization of NTS visit The NTS 2.0 Project [ https://nts2.arrl.org/ ] webpage.
