Amateur Radio Joins the Tri-State Maritime Safety Association
It’s rather amazing to find out what Amateu
r Radio Operators are doing in other parts of our great Nation!
Audubon NJ – The Tri-State Maritime Safety Association (TMSA) added Amateur Radio capabilities to its Maritime Incident Response Team in early May.
TMSA is teaming up with the Audubon-Barrington OEM Alliance-Radio Club, for Amateur Radio support. Amateur Radio Operators have the communications knowledge, skills and abilities to assist the team in its communications needs thus freeing up team leadership who can focus their efforts on Incident Management knowing that skilled radio operators will be ready to handle communications.
Amateur Radio Operators are not paid for their services, but volunteer their time to assist during emergencies. They will be utilizing the TMSA “MIRT” communications vehicle that features five dispatch consoles, an incident command meeting area, and a support station.
The MIRT Bus is a 1970 GMC “Fishbowl” previously serving as a Red Arrow transit bus, which was converted by the USN Seas Bees to a mobile communications center over two decades ago. The vehicle is equipped with a Detroit Diesel engine, automatic transmission and has two onboard Honda generators, two rooftop AC/Heating RV style units, UHF and VHF Radio’s for Marine and First Responder use as well as Amateur Radio Stations.
Amateur Radio Operators will not only operate and maintain the vehicle for the MIRT Team but will have the opportunity to utilize the vehicle at Field Days, Public Affairs, Festivals, and Bike Races or anywhere Amateur Radio is being utilized to support public events
and public safety in general.
The MIRT Bus was the main highlight at this year’s 2015 ARRL Field Day site at the Woodland School in Barrington NJ. The event was well attended by the public as well as the Audubon and Barrington Police and Fire Departments. The Boroughs’ of Audubon and recently started the process to enter into an agreement to create an Emergency Management Alliance for its Amateur Radio Emergency Services and Community Emergency Response Teams. The newly formed alliance teamed up with the non-profit TMSA-MIRT group and agreed to provide communications support.
The Tri-state Maritime Safety Association (TMSA), which includes the Delaware River and Bay Marine Fire Fighting Task Force (MFFTF) and the Tri-state Search and Rescue Team (TriSAR), promotes partnerships between local responders and the maritime community for regional maritime emergency preparedness and education within Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Audubon NJ, listed as America’s Most Patriotic Small Town, is home to three Congressional Medal of Honor winners, the most per capita for a municipality of its size in the United States.

Suffolk County Marathon For Veterans – Sept 13th 2015
On September 13, 2015 the Suffolk County Marathon will take place.This year 5,000 runners are expected to participate in the run on Montauk Hwy from Oakdale to Patchogue and back.
You can imagine the multiple access point to the Hwy to secure. There will be festivals sponsored by the towns along the way.There is a call for Amateur Radio Operator volunteers for communications.
Please consider helping.
On 9/13/2015 you will be asked to be at an assigned post at 6 AM so radio check in can start, the race starts a 7 AM. Depending where you are assigned, you may be at your post until noonish. You will need a dual band HT with a high gain antenna due to the wide area of the race and location of the repeaters (VHF and UHF repeaters are being used).
The organizer current understanding is that cars will not be allowed on the sides of the road, so HT operation with HIGH Gain antennas are needed(not the stock HT antenna). Your mobile rig will likely not be of use due to the parking restriction on Montauk Hwy for the event You might be able to set up a portable antenna with an HT/battery powered rig, just don’t for a lawn chair :). it would be a great time to test your go kit.
To provide help with communications, please register at http://www.islipares.org/. You can request a location that might be closer to your home. If you are a member of ARES, please state so in the comment box. Assignments will be sent out later on by email.Details on the Marathon are provided at http://www.suffolkmarathon.com/
