ICS stands for Incident Command System. It is part of the federally mandated National Incident Management System or 'Structure' (NIMS) that all emergency response organizations are required to learn and adhere to. If you as an individual are contemplating being a member of a response organization or simply wish to know more about how emergencies in your area are being handled please take the time to attend.

ICS 100 will begin promptly at 12pm.
ICS 700 will begin promptly at 3pm.

Registration:

To register for courses, contact the office at (315)786-2654 or email us. Be sure to include your full name, department/agency (Amateur Radio Operator is adequate), exactly what course and location you are registering for and a contact number.

NIMS & ICS:

Federal, state and regulatory oversight agencies such as OSHA and PESH have outlined expected training requirements for emergency response agencies and their members in an effort to standardize response procedures, strengthen our interoperability and facilitate clear communication before, during and after emergencies.

Requirements for training, including ICS 100, IS 700 and IS 800, as well as extensive addtional information can be found at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's website.

On August 5th of 2003, the Honorable Judge John W. Hallett of the Town of Leray Court set forth an opinion that would help to further define the role of the Amateur Radio Operator as referred to in NY VTL 397. I am not putting forth a copy of such traffic law other than what is mentioned here in the ruling. As you will see, discretion above and beyond the mere words of the VTL were considered when reaching this conclusion.

The following document has not been openly published but is available from the Town of Leray, NY Court Clerk. It is controlling law in only one jurisdiction in NY, that being the Town of Leray itself (including all of the Fort Drum containment zone and most of the reservation). This ruling is considered persuasive law in all of the lower courts in NY such as the towns and villages. At the County Court level and above throughout the State it is merely suggestive law. There has not been a challenge to this ruling coming from the Town of Leray to date. In fact it was upheld as recently as 2008. There is certainly more research that needs to be done as time allows. If you find anything worth posting, please consider sharing it here.

The Rookie Roundup will be scored 100 percent in real time through the http://www.getscores.org scoring system. There are three ways to participate: by using your favorite logging software with the real time scoring support, by downloading a simple logging program from the http://www.getscores.org Web site or by logging your contacts directly into a http://www.getscores.org Web page. No separate logs are required -- it all happens online in real time and final scores will be available online within hours of the end of the contest! More information is available on all of these options at http://www.getscores.org. Of course, you can get on the air and make contacts without logging them, but you won't have as much fun!

Who Can Participate?
Any ham licensed for 3 years or less qualifies as a Rookie. If you were licensed in 2008, 2009 or 2010, you can compete in the 2010 Rookie Roundup. Non-Rookies may only work Rookies, while Rookies may work everybody. A major part of the success of this contest will be non-Rookies getting on the air and working the Rookies, just as in the Novice Roundup. Just like in the Novice Roundups of years past (when Novices could work anyone and non-Novices could only work Novices), Rookies may work anyone, be they Rookie or non-Rookie; however, non-Rookies are limited to only working Rookies.

Entry Categories
Single Operator Rookie, limited to a maximum of 100 W. Spotting assistance or using call sign and frequency alerting systems is allowed, but self-spotting or asking somebody to spot you is not. All Rookies must identify themselves as a rookie. Example: "Kilo Bravo One Quebec Alfa Whiskey, Rookie." Non-Rookies only need give their call; no designation is needed.

Awards
Certificates will be available for all participants to download. The top five high scores from each US call area, Canadian province and Mexican call area will be recognized on their certificate. No national winners will be recognized.

Go to http://www.getscores.org for more information on how to participate. Be sure to check out the April 2010 issue of QST for complete rules and other information. The Rookie Roundup -- a fun event for all amateurs!
