ARES Teams in Northeast Brace for More Rain:
Some two dozen Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) volunteers responded this week in southwestern New Hampshire, where flooding ravaged communities in the vicinity of Alstead and Keene and claimed at least three lives. ARRL New Hampshire Section Emergency Coordinator Dave Colter, WA1ZCN, said ARES volunteers provided communication support for the American Red Cross and the state Bureau of Emergency Management as well as for the City of Keene.

'We were able to get communication into places where the state does not have communications and probably still does not have,' he said Wednesday evening. In anticipating additional deployment, Colter said, ARES teams planned to position themselves in advance in areas that might become isolated by further flooding. They stood down at week's end. "

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
