[KYHAM] Kentucky ARES Appointees

[W2LTB at aol.com]

To all Kentucky ARES Appointees: 
If you are a District Emergency Coordinator (DEC),  Emergency Coordinator 
(EC), or Official Emergency Station (OES) you are familiar  with the requirements 
of the position as outlined on the ARRL web site.  One of these requirements 
is  reporting.   
Reporting is important on three fronts.  Within the ARES organization, to the 
FCC  and the general public through media reports it serves as the documented 
 foundation of amateur radio’s contribution to the community.  It shows both 
activity and provides an  avenue for recognition for operators who go above 
and beyond  
Many years ago, reporting was an arduous task that  required filling out a 
sheet, affixing a stamp, and mailing it to “the next  level” coordinator.  Not 
any  more.  For the last 8 years, reports  in Kentucky  have been Internet 
based electronic forms that take minutes to complete and are  transmitted 
automatically to the KY SEC.   
Changes are coming to the Kentucky ARES Reports.  For the past several years, 
all ARES  reports submitted online have been transmitted directly to the DEC 
for data  collection reasons.  Effective with  the October report cycle, we 
will return to EC reports being transmitted to  their DEC for inclusion in their 
district report.  We feel this change will increase DEC  awareness and 
documentation of local activity.  EC reports from districts without DECs  will 
continue to be transmitted to the SEC.    
Again,  reports are important and a requirement of ARES leadership appointee  
positions.  In the near future, this  requirement will be more tightly 
observed.  These requirements will be discussed with KY ARES Leadership appointees  
directly.  If you have any  questions, please email me at w2ltb at arrl.net.
