has to be a representative of a “served” agency. The Sherrifs dept is not a served agency as there is no agreement between the Sherrif’s dept and us. However, if you are going to make contact, I would definitely NOT recommend calling the police dispatcher. That is for police business. But if you want to see how to get into trouble fast, knock yourselves out.
The proper way is to call the Sherrif’s PR dept during normal business hours, explain what is happening and request a visit for PR purposes. A better way is to have the FT. Bend Emergency Management representative come out, since they are already a served agency. BTW, a good person to go to is Pete Sauermilch KD5QPX. I bet he would know who to call. That is the right way to do business with these folks in a responsible manner Ron, K6HM From: BVARC [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Roy Storey via BVARC Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 5:28 PM To: Bill Stone; BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Subject: Re: [BVARC] Field Day bonus point question with a smile It might work.....but I think its a s t r e t c h. 73 -- Roy Storey W5TKZ Chairman, 2014 Field Day Committee On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at 4:39 PM, Bill Stone via BVARC <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: So as per FD rule 7.3.12 Site visitation by a representative of an agency.....If we call Ft.
