    After Christmas Dinner was a hit!
    About 15 members braved the cold to come to our 2021 annual After Christmas Party. Guests dined on some delicious broasted chicken and homemade meatballs, mashed potatoes along with several other goodies.  Dinner was followed up with the famous White Elephant gift exchange, with some fun gifts and nice ones too! As always the enjoyable conversation was the greatest gift, thanks to all that participated!

    Wisconsin ARES / RACES Emergency Communications

    ARES is a corps of trained volunteer amateur radio operators that are organized to assist in public service and emergency communications. ARES is organized and sponsored by the American Radio Relay League.

    RACES operates under the Wisconsin Emergency Management (WEM) and activates when the incident expands beyond local boundaries.

    Communication failures have been a defining part of natural disasters and even some human-generated events such as the September 11 attacks that occurred in New York City in 2001. A lack of communication between firefighters at the World Trade Center contributed directly to the deaths of 300 of those firefighters. Amateur radio provides a means of communication “when all else fails.”

     

    Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES)   

    The Amateur Radio Emergency Service® (ARES) consists of licensed amateurs who have voluntarily registered their qualifications and equipment with their local ARES leadership for communications duty in the public service when disaster strikes.

    SKYWARN

     

    The United States is the most severe weather-prone country in the world. Each year, people in this country cope with an average of 10,000 thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, 1,200 tornadoes, and two land falling hurricanes. Approximately 90% of all presidentially declared disasters are weather-related, causing around 500 deaths each year and nearly $14 billion in damage. The M&M Amateur Radio Club is proud to be a part of the Skywarn Network.

    SKYWARN® is a National Weather Service (NWS) program developed in the 1960s that consists of trained weather spotters who provide reports of severe and hazardous weather to help meteorologists make life-saving warning decisions. Spotters are concerned citizens, amateur radio operators, truck drivers, mariners, airplane pilots, emergency management personnel, and public safety officials who volunteer their time and energy to report on hazardous weather impacting their community.
