I've heard they are organizing with the ARRL. If
interested in getting involved, I can forward
your contact info to the MCECG (Maricopa County
Emergency Communications Group) who is plugged into the effort...

If I recall correctly, several of the members on
this board a ham radio operators.
If so, you might be interested in this info passed to me by a friend:
===================================
I'm working with some ham radio operators who
are very upset with proposed changes supported
by The Glendale mayor and another Glendale
official that will tie the hands of ham radio
operators within the city of Glendale. The April
2010 staff report says these new regs aren't necessary.
However, someone has gotten new regs onto the
June 2 city council agenda that Glendale ham
operators must have specified retractable
antennas that the guys can't even find on the marketplace.
I fully understand why people don't want an ugly
75' or more tower in their neighbors backyard
even tho my neighbors had them in N. Phx and
never offended me. I was always glad they were there. Â
People needs to realize that when disaster
strikes and communications systems ( phones,
computers, electric, etc) go down, it is the ham
operators that provide the emergency
communications. Iâve also been with Kent on
several cross country trips when those guys are
communicating emergency messages, i.e. tornado &
flood alerts, highway accidents etc to
authorities where cell phones or CBâs don't work.
If this Glendale idea spreads across Maricopa
County, we are in deep CENSORED if terrorists
knock out our normal communications systems.
Take a look at the Midwest the past 2 days when
communications systems were temporarily down
after those tornadoes whipped out communities.
It was the ham radio operators that filled that
gap, but few people even know it.
