DX3UNA Ulo Ng Apo Radio Club Olongapo City

DX3UNA ANTI-DRUG WORK CITED

The City Council of Olongapo, led by Vice Mayor Cynthia Cajudo, passed a ‘Resolution of Appreciation’ for the witnesses of the transfer and destruction of five million pesos worth of dangerous drugs recently on Trece Martirez, Cavite.

The resolution was approved unanimously by the city council on July 30, 2008 and was signed by City Mayor James ‘Bong’ Gordon Jr. on August 20, 2008.

The groups that were the witnesses to the transfer and destruction of drugs in Cavite are as follows: Senior Citizens, Bagumbayan Volunteers, Ulo ng Apo Radio Club (DX3-UNA), Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of the Philippines, Sanguniang Kabataan- Olongapo City, Columban College, Katipunan ng mga Bantay ng Bayan ng Pilipinas (KABAYAN) and the Knights of Columbus.

The drugs, weighing over seven hundred (700) kilos were confiscated the Subic Bay Freeport on May 28, 2008 and is estimated to worth over five million pesos (P 5M).

The drugs were ordered to be burned by the Hon. Judge Raymond Viray of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) in line with Section 21 of Republic Act 9165 otherwise known as Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2008”.

The Dangerous Drugs Board through its implementing arm, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), disposes and confiscates drugs such as opium, marijuana and shabu.

The groups and NGOs were commended for their steadfast dedication in the war against drugs.

“Ituloy-tuloy pa natin ang ating laban sa droga,” Mayor Gordon said. “Kaya’t dapat patuloy tayong magsagawa ng mga sports programs at iba pang pwedeng pagka-abalahan ng mga kabataan upang hindi sila malulong sa masamang bisyo.”

DX3UNA Awarded

Olongapo City Mayor James “Bong” Gordon Jr. and Olongapo Bureau of Fire (BFP) Fire Marshall C/Insp. Jonas Silvano awarded a certificate of recognition to Ulo Ng Apo Radio Group DX3UNA

The group was recognized for their continued support to the objectives and activities of the city on August 26, 2008 at the flag raising ceremony held at the Rizal Triangle Multi-Purpose Center. The group recently donated several battery packs of handheld radios to BFP.

It can be recalled that Silvano said that his major goal is to ensure that the equipment used by BFP are in good condition and fully functional.

“Part of our current program is to upgrade the equipments at dati wala na kaming gumaganang handheld radios which are instrumental for an effective and efficient conduct of fire operations but with the help of an NGO, the Ulo ng Apo Media Group, we are able to acquire battery packs of handheld radios,” Silvano explained.

“Nung huli po akong nagsalita, I said that I accept the challenge para maging the best fire station in the entire country ang BFP Olongapo and we are currently working on that. At ngayon, I am happy to announce that two of our fire trucks are now upgraded and in working condition,” Silvano said.

Mayor Gordon was grateful for the media group’s donation. Like Silvano, Mayor Gordon wants the equipment of the city to be in tip-top shape and upgraded so efficient public service can be rendered.

Ragchewer's Cardinal Rules

From: Ed Valdez DU1EV
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 05:15:03 -0800 (PST)
Subject: Ragchewer's Cardinal Rules:

1. Listen, listen, listen. Our antennas our bigger than our microphones (God must have a reason for that).

2. Leave a gap between transmissions, to allow for breakers and most especially, emergency traffic.

--- du7fbt
1 Always identify your station when you first break in a QSO.
2 If you decide to tune your rig or antenna, get off at least 3kc off 7.035mhz.
3. "Good morning", "Hello Break" (without station I.D. is not an acceptable entry.)
4. If you want to have a contact, just identify your station with the entent of contact, then bring with you a vacant frequency to QSY.
5. Jamming is absolotely insane.
6. Whistling to tune your rig, does not only harm your finals, but also irate the operators using headphones.
7. Jokes are good if you dont hit bellow the belt. If want to pitch a joke, make sure you can catch the same joke.
8. Refrain from discussing politics on the air.
9. Avoid doubling with each other. All transmission must end with "over,"go ahead", or sign that you have ended your transmissio, so others will not double up with you.
10. No arguing, cause you will never influence a new friend with an argument.

(If you disagree, or have something else to add, please free to say so.)

MABUHAY EMERGENCY NETWORK PLAN

MABUHAY EMERGENCY NETWORK PLAN (by MRILP)

I SUGGEST THAT WE FAMILIARIZE OURSELVES W/ THE FOLLOWING PROPOSED HIERARCHY OF MODES OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN OUR KABAYANS ABROAD AND
THE ISLANDS WHENEVER DISASTER AND/OR EMERGENCY STRIKES.
================

THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A NETWORK WHERE WE CAN USE TO TRANSFER AND/OR EXCHANGE TRAFFIC USING AMATEUR RADIO DURING A DISASTER EMERGENCY, ROUTINE TRAFFICS DURING NON-EMERGENCIES.

PHASE I SYSTEMS TO USE FOR MEN
1. ECHOLINK - LINKS / PC USERS
- THE ECHOLINK IS THE PRIMARY SYSTEM THAT WILL BE USED.
PARTICIPATING CLUBS OR STATIONS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PROVIDE THE LINKS DURING NET CALLS, TEST/SIMULATIONS AND ACTUAL EMERGENCIES.

2. TCP/IP PACKET GATEWAY
- THIS SYSTEM WILL BE SETUP IN PRIMARY LOCATIONS WHERE THERE ARE ACTIVE STATIONS AND CLUBS.
- THE IDEA IS TO BE ABLE TO TRANSFER PACKET RADIO MESSAGES COMING FROM AND TO ALL THIS PRIMARY LOCATIONS.

3. HF PACTOR / PACKET RADIO GATEWAYS
- THIS SYSTEM WILL WORK TOGETHER WITH THE TCP/IP PACKET GATEWAY.
- HF WILL BE USE AS A MEANS OF TRANSFERING DATA FROM ALL THE PRIMARY LOCATIONS.

4. LOCAL VHF/UHF PACKET RADIO USERS.
- A NUMBER OF REMOTE LOCATIONS WHO CAN CONNECT TO GATEWAYS TO ACCESS PACKET MESSAGES.
- EXAMPLE, DIFFERRENT CLUBS IN THE LOS ANGELES AREA WHO USES PACKET RADIO TO GET ROUTINE TRAFFICS VIA THE MRILP-LAX GATEWAY.

5. HF/VHF/UHF VOICE
- HF/VHF/UHF WILL PROVIDE THE NECESSARY BACKUP SPECIALY IN THE CASES WHERE THERE IS NO INTERNET ACCESS AVAILABLE IN THE AFFECTED AREAS.
-EXAMPLE, IF THERE IS A DISASTER EMERGENCY IN CALIFORNIA AND THE LINES ARE DOWN AND NO INTERNET ACCESS ARE AVAILABLE, AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN WOULD BE TO USE HF/VHF/UHF FROM THE AFFECTED AREAS AND SEND THE MESSAGES TO A REMOTE LOCATION WITH INTERNET ACCESS. IF PROPAGATION IS FAVORABLE, A DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANOTHER IS ADVISED.

PHASE II PROCEDURES / SIMULATIONS
1. NTS - NATIONAL TRAFFIC SYSTEM.
- THERE SHOULD BE ONE SYSTEM USED IN SENDING MESSAGES. THE CHALLENGE HERE LIES IN EACH STATIONS DEDICATION TO KNOW THE NTS. RADIOGRAMS ARE USED TO SEND MESSAGES IN THE NTS SYSTEM.
DURING SIMULATIONS CLUBS AND STATIONS WILL EXCHANGE MESSAGES USING THE RADIOGRAM AND NTS.

2. SIMULATIONS.
- EMERGENCY SIMULATIONS WILL BE CONDUCTED A COUPLE OF TIMES DURING THE YEAR.
- ALL CLUBS WILL BE ASKED TO PARTICIPATE IN ORDER TO SEE IF THEIR EMERGENCY TEAM IS READY TO MEET THE STANDARDS THAT OUR MABUHAY EMERGENCY NETWORK HAS SET FOR US.

3. INFORMATION CAMPAIGN
- JUST LIKE IN ANY NEW SYSTEM, THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT FOR IT TO BE A SUCCESS IS TO HAVE AN INFORMATION CAMPAIGN.
WITH THE HELP OF EXISTING SYSTEMS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WITH THE COOPERATION AND SUPPORT OF ALL OUR FELLOW HAMS AND CLUBS, WE CAN HAVE A SUCCESFUL EMERGENCY SYSTEM IN PLACE. A SYSTEM THAT WE CAN COUNT ON IN DISASTER EMERGENCIES AND TO HELP OUR FELLOW HAMS AND KABABAYANS IN TIME OF NEED.
- EMERGENCY TEAMS FROM EACH CLUB IS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO GET A NETWORK OF EMERGENCY STATION OPERATORS. THIS TEAM WILL BE THE ONE TO WORK ON SIMULATIONS AND ACTUAL DISASTER EMERGENCIES.

PHASE III SCENARIOS
A. EMERGENCY-PRIORITY-WELFARE-ROUTINE
1. THERE ARE DIFFERENT SCENARIOS IN ANY GIVEN EMERGENCY BUT TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW OUR SYSTEM CAN BE LAUNCH FOR ACTION WOULD DEPEND ON THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA/SCENARIO.
- EARTHQUAKE - COMMUNICATIONS WERE DISRUPTED IN LOCAL AREAS, LOST OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES.
-TERRORIST ATTACK - COMMUNICATIONS WERE DISRUPTED IN LOCAL AREAS, LOST OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES.
-TYPHOON/STORMS - COMMUNICATIONS WERE DISRUPTED IN LOCAL AREAS, LOST OF LIVES AND PROPERTIES.

B. ROUTINE NON-EMERGENCY SCENARIO
1. OUR SYSTEM CAN BE USED AT ANY GIVEN TIME TO FORWARD ROUTINE TRAFFICS FROM ONE HAM TO ANOTHER HAM, FROM HAM TO A NON-HAM, FROM A NON-HAM TO A NON-HAM. THIS ROUTINE TRAFFIC WOULD USUALLY BE SENT OUT DURING RADIO NET CALLS. NOTONLY CAN WE PROVIDE A FREE TRAFFIC SYSTEM TO OUR COMMUNITY BUT ALSO THIS WILL ENCOURAGE NON-HAMS TO JOIN OUR RANKS. THE ARRL NTS SYSTEM IS WORKING DAY BY DAY IN PROVIDING SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITIES. WE CAN ALSO DO THIS UNDER OUR MABUHAY EMERGENCY NETWORK.

TCP/IP PACKET RADIO GATEWAY
The MRILP wll continue to create new projects for the benefit of the Amateur Radio Community.

We are now working on the TCP/IP Packet Radio Gateway. At the moment we already have one gateway on test at Claremont, California. You can check it out at this telnet address telnet://k6irf.ampr.org or if you are in the Southern California area and have packet radio, you can access it at 145.03 mhz.
