We finally got some of the first response gear issued to us. Hurrah! The First Response Team commander is leaving to get married, so I’ve been officially handed command of Team 1! I need to get us some command and control training lined up badly, if our team is going to handle On Scene Command during an emergency.

And I get to put a nickname on the back… so…

Also, we’re finally able to move forward on installation of the new antenna…

Here’s the reflector and s-band feed being assembled on the ice prior to being mounted.

Here’s me in front of one of the HAM antennas we were working on t/sing.. the 20 meter version in this case.


I hope everyone had a happy Christmas!
