In the Eastern Massachusetts election, Mike Neilsen, W1MPN, of Hudson, defeated incumbent Section Manager Art Greenberg, K1GBX, of Georgetown. Neilsen received 660 votes to Greenberg's 224. Neilsen served as Eastern Massachusetts Section Manager from January 2005-December 2006. Just prior to his first term as Section Manager, he served as the Section Emergency Coordinator for the Section from September 2001-January 2005.

If you like CW or want to improve your Morse Code Skills, the NTS
Traffic Nets is a great place to do it. We are looking for operators to
join us on the East MA. & Rhode Island CW Net. (EMARICW)

The Net meets daily at 7:00PM on 3.565. If you think it is too fast,
just send QNS and they will slow down to anyone's speed. Try it
and enjoy the fun of sending and receiving traffic. Help is available
for all who want to learn.

Greetings all,

After more than a year with no manager other than my feeble attempts to hold things together, we finally have a candidate for manager of 1RN cycle 2. John Miller N1UMJ has been active on the net for some time now and has agreed to take the job. I'm putting out a call for any further nominations once again, and if none are forthcoming I would like to have John appointed effective July 1, 2007. Section managers please pass this along to your STMs where appropriate. Thanks.

[Western MA] ASM Northwest Ralph Swick, KD1SM will be teaching a NTS Traffic Handling refresher course. This class will take place on 03/24/2007 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM at the Worcester ECC Building (i.e. National Guard Building) at 50 Skyline Drive, Worcester. The course is free and open to all area hams.

The class will go over NTS traffic writing, net protocol and procedure and tactical messaging. Students are strongly encouraged to bring with them a notepad, pen and HT.

If you are new to Emergency Communications and/or the National Traffic System or just in need of a refresher this is a good beginners program from which to learn.

We would appreciate a rough head count, so if you think you will be attending, please email Mark Rubin, WB1ARZ, whom is hosting the event on behalf of the Worcester Emergency Communications Team.

--Thanks, wma.arrl.org
