Most important, I want to thank all of you who responded to Ohio's historic Memorial Day Outbreak of tornadoes. There are now 19 confirmed, with teams still working. At least two were EF-3 strength. Your participation in Skywarn as the system moved into Ohio was important! Situational awareness reports you supplied all night Monday into Tuesday and beyond were a critical part of Ohio's gearing up to respond. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Our Ohio amateur radio response was not without problems- the storm de-sense was amazingly strong Monday evening. At some point we (read: probably me) fumble-fingered the DMR radio and we lost connection. Thanks to Arlin Bradford who made a special trip yesterday to re-program and improve our DMR situation. "The Sarge" will be stronger than ever into the systems now, and we've added a bunch of new groups (see below). We have also added surrounding states to coordinate longer-track events. HF picked back up after the main frontal system moved away, but by then 'normal' communications were holding the load. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Amateur radio wasn't done though, as late as yesterday Mahoning and surrounding counties were alerted for damage assessment from flooding. "The Sarge" closed operation last evening with many accolades from the EMA managers. We pass those on to all of you, who were out doing the work! Our fledgling idea to create a statewide flow of information worked, and worked well- just in the nick of time. It was a tremendous opportunity for amateur radio to be directly involved with real life-and-death events across the state; and you responded professionally. Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p><p>We have created a couple of events in Connect for logging your activities. If you had a county or district level response, please create an event back-dated as needed to record your times. The next step is to catalog all the information we can about ARES response for a full After Action Report. Please forward your work/times to your EC. EC's, forward a report to your DEC's so we can get everything recorded! <o:p></o:p></p><p>This has been a historic event for Ohio, and I thank you for being a big part of the response! <o:p></o:p></p><p>Here are the DRM groups we added- you may want to make sure those that apply to your area are in your radios!<o:p></o:p></p><p>31391 NEOH<o:p></o:p></p><p>31392 WXOH<o:p></o:p></p><p>31393 SEOH<o:p></o:p></p><p>31394 SWOH<o:p></o:p></p><p>31395 ARES<o:p></o:p></p><p>31399 OHYSF (Fusion link)<o:p></o:p></p><p>313920 MNFD <o:p></o:p></p><p>3118 IN<o:p></o:p></p><p>31183 INWX (Indiana Weather)<o:p></o:p></p><p>3126 MI<o:p></o:p></p><p>3121 KY<o:p></o:p></p><p>3142 PA<o:p></o:p></p><p>3154 WV<o:p></o:p></p><p>73 On behalf of Scott, N8SY and Stan N8BHL <o:p></o:p></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif";display:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#EAEBEB'><tr><td style='padding:5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt'><p align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:11.25pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:18.75pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:#7E7E7E'>ARRL, 225 Main St., Newington, CT 06111<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:#7E7E7E'><hr size=3 width="100%" noshade style='color:#D5D6D6' align=center></span></div></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Segoe UI","sans-serif";display:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><table class=MsoNormalTable border=0 cellspacing=3 cellpadding=0 width="100%" style='width:100.0%;background:#EAEBEB'><tr><td width="33%" style='width:33.3%;padding:5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt'><p align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:#7E7E7E'>Powered by <a href="https://www.volunteerhub.com"><span style='color:#184683;text-decoration:none'>VolunteerHub.com</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width="33%" style='width:33.3%;padding:5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt'><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:#7E7E7E'><img border=0 width=73 id="_x0000_i1027" src="https://cdn.volunteerhub.com/static/content/images/LogoFull75x16.png" alt=VolunteerHub><o:p></o:p></span></p></td><td width="33%" style='width:33.3%;padding:5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt 5.0pt'><p align=center style='mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:15.0pt;margin-left:0in;text-align:center'><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:#7E7E7E'><a href="http://arrl.volunteerhub.com/account/emailoptout/12bdc887-fc3b-4b1d-a20e-6a0db0458818"><span style='color:#184683;text-decoration:none'>Unsubscribe</span></a> </span><span style='font-size:7.0pt;color:#7E7E7E'>•</span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;color:#7E7E7E'> <a href="mailto:abuse@volunteerhub.com"><span style='color:#184683;text-decoration:none'>Report Spam</span></a> <o:p></o:p></span></p></td></tr></table><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
