W1AW has suspended its morning code practice and qualifying run
transmissions, beginning March 24, 2020. However, W1AW's evening

April 2020: Section Manager's Report
I hope everyone is holding up well during this pandemic. I would like to
take the time to remember those Silent Keys who have recently lost their
lives due to the Corona Virus. Please remember them in your prayers.
I have received a lot of questions about Field Day. I have even sent
some recommendations from some clubs to the Headquarters. So far there
is no change in any procedures or rules. They are still considering all
of the suggestions that have been sent in. As it stands now I would
consider using club members home stations and having a schedule. If more
information becomes available I will be sure to pass it on.
Another big question is VE Testing. I have received information that the
ARRL is in the process of developing an online testing procedure. I hope
to have more information on that soon.
I know many clubs have been active with meetings on the air. I encourage
everyone to get on the air and operate. I have found it can make an
afternoon pass in no time. To top it off there have been some good band
openings which helps.
While you are sitting home you may be interested in this free training
offered to SNJ by the Eastern PA Section.
Below is an invitation to all for a Net Control Procedures Class from
the Eastern PA Section. The class will be held on Monday, April 27th, at
7:30 PM. He may split into two sessions, one at 10 AM and the evening
session at 7:30 PM.
Net Control Procedures Class
We recently hosted "National Traffic System and Radiogram Fundamentals"
on Zoom. The class was successful with more attendees than
anticipated. We also got some new traffic handlers checking into our
nets after the class.
Next I’d like to offer a class on Net Control Procedures for current
Net
Controls and people interested in finding out just what it takes to be
a
good NCS.
This class will cover procedures for HF, VHF/UHF Nets, Emergency,
Traffic and Skywarn Nets. We’ll take you from a beginning NCS to
being
able to step in and run any net successfully.
If you are interested in a class on Net Control Procedures, please send
an email with your contact information to w3gwm@arrl.org
Stay Safe, Stay Healthy and Stay Home!
