If a FT Bend SHERIFF does not qualify as "law enforcement" for the bonus points then I don't know what does. Anyway it's more about spreading the good word of our emergency prepardness rather than the contest points so the more served agency representitives the better Site Visitation by a representative of an agency: One (1) 100-point bonus may be claimed if your Field Day site is visited by a representative of an agency served by ARES in your local community (American Red Cross, Salvation Army, local Emergency Management, law enforcement, etc.) as the result of an invitation issued by your group...... Does the ect. include Fire department? ( I think so ) Lots of fire fighters at the field day site held at the Richmond Fire Field training ground. And the fire station is just up the road for a walk in invite too. On a final note to those that took offence to my smile joke I formally retract the funny. To those that wish to explain how to notify a representitive please use your proceedure to invite all that you can think of to the KK5W Field Day. I have in the past worked with TxDPS, HPD, BPD, Metro, HC Sherriff, HC Pct 1-5 amoung others for over 20 years in the towing industry and know NOT to use dispatch for the invite. Be Safe and Have Fun At Field Day 73 Bill WS5H ----- Original Message ----- From: K5HM To: 'Roy Storey' ; 'BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB' ; 'Bill Stone' Sent: Friday, June 13, 2014 10:06 PM Subject: RE: [BVARC] Field Day bonus point question with a smile 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]> wrote: So as per FD rule 7.3.12 Site visitation by a representative of an agency.....If we call Ft.
