Just wanted you all to know that I am still deployed and that is why I have not been on the air or posted on this forum for a long time. Not sure when I come back but be rest assured I will hit the repeater when I get back...I have my HT with me so I may even hit it when the plane lands so keep those ears open. Until then, 73's

Technology has developed by leaps and bounds since our By-Laws were created. In fact, it's light years ahead of our By-Laws. Do you feel that the time is right to introduce the internet into the wording of our By-Laws? This would recognize the web page as the official forum to post everything from proposed changes to our Constitution and By-Laws to up and coming events to, of course, the meeting minutes?

So far there has been no requirement by our rules stating that we must utilize this medium and what form the rules for such use would take. I intend to present this idea as a proposal with suggestions in an outline to the club at the next meeting.

New federal standards will be slightly more difficult to implement, but for those of us who rise to the challenge, a greater understanding of our roles within these organizations awaits us making it easier to perform jobs and tasks once thought reserved for high level government officials.

Also the Red Cross (National) has entered into an MOU agreement with the ARRL (ARES) regarding background checks. More information can be found at: http://www.arrl.org/FandES/field/mou/redcro.html

We have applied for corporate sponsorship

Classes have been announced for both summer and winter schedules. The winter classes will be geared toward Jefferson & Lewis County Emergency Responders although always remaining open to the public. These classes will also be more convenient to Lewis County residents.

JCRAC is forming an ARRL VE team and is planning to offer VE sessions at the monthly meetings.

Fort Drum is interested in sponsoring classes on post.

Mountain-fest this year will be back to it's old location at the parade grounds where we will be allowed to post a both. BSA Troop 26 will help us staff the tent as they are showing great interest in Ham Radio.

Jefferson - Lewis BOCES wishes to enter into a learning partnership with JCARC.

The BOCES Visual Arts Department is taking us on as a client in the development of a new club logo due this fall.

As well the BOCES Electrical Department is building a Wind and Solar power generation trailer that will accompany us on public demonstrations.

Jefferson County and the JCRAC are developing an agreement that will allow RACES to operate from the within the corporate framework of the club's 501c. Jefferson County ARES is interested in doing the same.

A long awaited new toy is fast approaching completion. The "Tower Trailer" has taken shape and is planned to make it's debut at Field Day.

It's about time a landmark like the Cape Vincent Lighthouse gets some time in the spotlight so the JCRAC is planning to represent her in the world of LOTA this August.

And the "beast" is back on loan to the club for another year to help solve our drainage needs.

There is so much more happening. Check back as I will included more updates as time permits.]]>

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!
