SUMMARY:Fall Poker Run
DESCRIPTION:Twice a year\, the Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee sponsors a non-competitive Poker Run for off-road motorcycles (no ATV’s) and riders of all ages. There is a short course (approximately 15-25 miles) and a long course (approximately 50-55 miles). Riders of all abilities are welcome. Prizes are awarded on the basis of the poker hand you draw at the final check point.  The Fall Poker Run is not a race\, it is an EVENT!   \nThis is a non-competitive event and the 5 prizes awarded for each course are based on the rider’s luck in drawing one of the five highest winning poker hands consisting of five (short course) or seven (long course) total cards at the final checkpoint.  It’s truly a wonderful experience. \nARESDEC will provide tactical communications & situational awareness for Poker Run event staff. ARESDEC members should expect to provide APRS/LoRa tracking\, checkpoint communications\, Forward Observer (FOB)\, observe Poker Run operations and monitor the Net\, report any emergencies\, medical issues\, and/or disabled bikes\, and report rider activity like first rider through\, sweeps passing through the checkpoints\, and event staff arriving and departing.  We coordinate with Douglas County Search & Rescue (DCSAR) for their services if needed on the course. \nARES R1D5 Members can contact Training@aresdec.org or staff@aresdec.org if you have questions\, suggestions or concerns.  We look forward to working with the event sponsor and partners for a successful event! \nBackground:  The Rampart Range Fall Poker Run is planned and run by the RRMMC (Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee). RRMMC is an all-volunteer\, nonprofit corporation founded in 1972 to work with the Forest Service to promote and preserve dirt bike trail riding opportunities in the Rampart Range area of Pike National Forest near Sedalia\, Colorado. \nEvent Website: http://rampartrange.org/poker-run/ \n

SUMMARY:Mad Gravel Race
DESCRIPTION:Elbert County is where you want to be to celebrate the Sunday of Labor Day weekend this year!\n\nLocated in Kiowa\, Colorado\, the Mad Gravel Race is a series of events that are held over the Labor Day weekend each year.  ARESDEC is proud to provide communications support for Elbert County OEM and the event sponsor.  There are three races of different distances\, described below. \n\n\n\nHemi Hustle: 30 miles\n\nAt 30 miles\, the Hemi Hustle is the best route for those that want a great sampling of the region while still enjoying the unique roads and views of Elbert County. On 100% gravel roads\, this amazing course delivers the Hemi experience in a condensed form. While you get a custom number plate\, it is not a competitive event. This is the shortest route\, but know you still will conquer a very challenging course.\n\n\nHemi Five-O: 50 miles\n\nAt a hefty 50 miles\, Hemi Five-O is slightly less sadistic than its parent. Plenty of mileage while still enjoying an epic tour of the eastern plains. Prepare yourself for some awe-inspiring moments while you take in a great panorama of Colorado’s high peaks. Pikes Peak alone is stunning in late spring with its snow-capped summit. Fully supported with an aid station in the middle so you can pack light.\n\n\nHemi: 100 miles\n\n100 miles of pure bliss. The Hemi will cover over 6400 feet of climbing while topping out at 7300 ft. This course is a perfect blend of all the killer gravel roads in Elbert County. While you’ll get wide open power sections\, expect some climbing that will test the legs over this distance. Wind in May east of the Colorado front range? Yeah it’s likely. 3 aid stations to serve your hydration and nutritional needs.\n\n\n\n\n\nMad Gravel and Rattler Racing have combined efforts with the Junior Cycling Project\, a Colorado non-profit charitable organization to create this event. Together\, they work to expand on the shared mission of getting juniors on bikes\, introduce new cycling opportunities\, and work with like minded non-profits to get bikes in the hands of those juniors in need. By working and partnering with the community\, they advance the cause of supporting junior riders and give them the resources and avenues to help them grow. After all\, they are the future of the sport!. \nARESDEC is proud to provide communications support to this important event and the community that supports them! \n

SUMMARY:Face-to-Face: Importance of Situational Awareness
DESCRIPTION:What is Situational Awareness?  Situational awareness or situation awareness\, often abbreviated as SA is the understanding of an environment\, its elements\, and how it changes with respect to time or other factors. It is also defined as the perception of the elements in the environment considering time and space\, the understanding of their meaning\, and the prediction of their status in the near future. \nSituation awareness is recognized as a critical foundation for successful decision making in many situations\, including the ones which involve the protection of human life and property\, such as law enforcement and emergency responses. \nDo we as individuals need to be situationally aware during an ARESDEC event? Does this topic sound boring to you? It shouldn’t because Situational Awareness can save your life. \nJoin us at our  Face-to-Face meeting where we will learn the pillars of the Combat Hunter program developed by the U.S. Marines War Laboratory in response to the staggering loss of American lives during the first years of the Iraqi and Afghanistan conflicts. Learn what it means to be “Left of Bang” and why doing so can and has saved lives. \nPresenter:   Perry W6AUN \nFor more information\, please contact Training@aresdec.org.

SUMMARY:Face-to-Face Meeting:  BCARES Analog/Digital TV Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:We have a really great program planned for the July Face-to-Face meeting.  This is one you WON’T want to miss!!\n  \nAllen K0ARK\, BCARES E.C. will lead off with the use of ATV for ARES.  There will be lots of relevant operational ATV gear for ARES deployment which will be on display.   He will also cover the unique relationship that BCARES has with the Boulder County Sheriff\, Police and fire departments. \nBCARES use of ATV for ARES dates way back to 1990 when the Boulder Sheriff approached BCARES and asked them to provide TV coverage of major events.   It even included them creating a sub-group of BCARES members becoming members of the Sheriff’s SWAT team to provide on-site live video feeds to the SWAT mobile command post.   Both Allen and I were members of the SWAT for many years. \nJim KH6HTV will then follow-up with the technical details of High Definition Digital Television.   The emphasis will be on what equipment is available today for hams (at reasonable costs) for both a simple DATV station of transmitter and receiver plus camera and video monitor.  And how it is useful both at home\, mobile and portable pack set.   A working display of such equipment will be on display. \nJim will also cover DATV repeaters and their design\, etc.   At present BCARES has one wide area coverage DATV repeater in Boulder.   In addition\, BCARES received a grant from Boulder County of $30K to improve its communications network.  BCARES recently purchased two new 70cm DATV repeaters to enhance mountain coverage.  They are still working on finding permanent homes for these new repeaters.  BCARES also has a 3rd\, portable 70cm DATV repeater to be deployed as needed. \nQ&A session at the end of the presentation. \nWe look forward to seeing you in July.  Come and join us!  All are welcome to join our Face-to-Face meetings. \nFor more information\, please contact us at Training@aresdec.org. \n

SUMMARY:Annual ARRL Field Day
DESCRIPTION:ARRL Field Day is the most popular on-the-air event held annually in the US and Canada. On the fourth weekend of June\, more than 35\,000 radio amateurs gather with their clubs\, groups or simply with friends to operate from remote locations.  The event called Field Day\, encourages hams to set up antennas and radios outdoors in the “Field” and make as many radio contacts with other hams as is possible in a 24-hour period. \nThe purpose of Field Day is to simulate a national level disaster where normal communications infrastructure is impacted over a wide area. Hams\, also known as amateur radio operators\, have a long history of providing communications during local and national emergencies and disasters. The Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) of Douglas and Elbert Counties has organized a Field Day location in the Parker area. \nSetup begins at 12:00 PM on Friday.  The actual start of official Field Day activities/communications begins at 12:00 PM on Saturday and continues non-stop for 24 hours until 12:00 PM on Sunday. \nARES of Douglas and Elbert Counties will be making amateur radio contacts from a Field Day location in Parker\, Colorado. The public is invited to come and check us out!   Come and see what ham radio is all about. \nPlease contact us at Training@aresdec.org for more information about location and to request to participate. \nPeter\, W0OW (left) and Bill\, KF0CWS (right).

SUMMARY:Spring Poker Run
DESCRIPTION:Twice a year\, the Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee sponsors a non-competitive Poker Run for off-road motorcycles (no ATV’s) and riders of all ages. There is a short course (approximately 15-25 miles) and a long course (approximately 50-55 miles). Riders of all abilities are welcome. Prizes are awarded on the basis of the poker hand you draw at the final check point.  The Spring Poker Run is not a race\, it is an EVENT!   \nThis is a non-competitive event and the 5 prizes awarded for each course are based on the rider’s luck in drawing one of the five highest winning poker hands consisting of five (short course) or seven (long course) total cards at the final checkpoint.  It’s truly a wonderful experience. \nARESDEC will provide tactical communications & situational awareness for Poker Run event staff. ARESDEC members should expect to provide APRS/LoRa tracking\, checkpoint communications\, Forward Observer (FOB)\, observe Poker Run operations and monitor the Net\, report any emergencies\, medical issues\, and/or disabled bikes\, and report rider activity like first rider through\, sweeps passing through the checkpoints\, and event staff arriving and departing.  We coordinate with Douglas County Search & Rescue (DCSAR) for their services if needed on the course. \nBackground:  The Rampart Range Spring Poker Run is planned and run by the RRMMC (Rampart Range Motorcycle Management Committee). RRMMC is an all-volunteer\, nonprofit corporation founded in 1972 to work with the Forest Service to promote and preserve dirt bike trail riding opportunities in the Rampart Range area of Pike National Forest near Sedalia\, Colorado. \nEvent Website: http://rampartrange.org/poker-run/

SUMMARY:Face-to-Face: Field Day Update & PinPoint APRS Software Enhancements
DESCRIPTION:Summer is almost here and that means that our ARRL Field Day is just around the corner.\nAt our May Face-to-Face meeting\, we will have 2 items on our program:\n\n1) Field Day MC’s will give an update on Field Day planning committee activities.\n2) We’ll also have an in-depth look at PinPoint APRS by the application’s author\, Frank Watervoort\, AB0WV. History\, configuring it\, capabilities\, future developments\, etc. He’s got some recent enhancements you’ll want to see!\n  \nWhat is PinPoint?\nPinPoint is free software that allows you to visually track and communicate with people using Amateur Radio (”Ham Radio”) equipment. During an emergency\, it can be used as a location aware tactical communications tool. It is mostly used as a tool for tracking people and assets on a map\, although it is capable of so much more. \nDuring\, for instance\, a weather spotting event\, an incident commander could visually track where spotters are deployed in the field\, and direct them away from approaching weather using an area map on a computer screen. \nThis training is primarily focused on the PinPoint APRS application and if you want a more in-depth understanding of APRS itself prior to attending this event\, please feel free to watch this recommended YouTube video. \nPinpoint was featured in the September 2018 issue of ARRL QST magazine. \nMore information about PinPoint APRS software can be found at https://pinpointaprs.com/. \nSee you at the meeting!  For more information about the event\, please contact Training@aresdec.org.

SUMMARY:Operation Cross Talk - Multi-State NVIS Exercise & Contest
DESCRIPTION:New for 2026\, Operation Crosstalk is a three-hour long all NVIS exercise that encourages ARES members to get on the air and make as many NVIS contacts as possible using a defined set of exercise HF frequencies. This exercise is being conducted in cooperation with Wyoming ARES providing even more NVIS possible contacts. \nHow do you participate?\n• Operate portable or from a fixed station during the event times on 40\, 60\, and 80 meters. All contacts must be regional between 0-500 miles.\n• Using an NVIS optimized antenna\, make as many contacts with other stations as possible. Provide a true signal report (57\, 45\, etc.) and exchange your 6-digit maidenhead grid square.\n• Use your favorite logging software. Save all logs in .adi (ADIF) file format.\n• Upload your log at the end of NVIS Day to https://coloradoares.org/operation-crosstalk-colorado-wyoming-ares-nvis-exercise-may-9-2026/ \nCertificates:\nEach log submitted with 20 NVIS contacts or more will receive a .pdf certificate acknowledging successful participation in Operation Crosstalk 2026. An NVIS contact is defined as a contact between two stations that are more than 50 miles apart but are less than 500 miles from each other. A separate .pdf certificate will be awarded to the station submitting a log with the highest scored point value. \nFrequencies and radio operations:\nThe primary operating mode is single sideband (SSB).\nTransmit power is limited to 150w or less. 60 meter operation is limited to 100w ERP.\nExercise frequencies are based on the SSB frequencies listed in the ICS-217a forms for CO and WY ARES.\nAll frequencies are +/- 10 KHz. \n80 Meters (MHz)    60 Meters (MHz)    40 Meters (MHz) \n3.810.0                           5.371.5 (Ch 3) *                   7.235.0\n3.923.5                           5.403.5 (Ch 4) *                  7.240.0\n3.933.5                                                                          7.260.0\n* Effective radiating power on these frequencies is limited to 100 watts. Antenna gain must be considered when estimating ERP. \nPoints:\nContacts logged 0 to 50 miles from your station are equal to 1 point.\nContacts logged from 50 to 500 miles from your station are equal to 2 points.\nContacts logged with stations 500 or more miles from your station are equal to 0 points. \nBonus Points:\nOperate within 1000 feet of a city or county EOC for a 1 point bonus per contact.\nOptional: Send a Winlink message to WY7AA via the WY7EOC-10 Winlink Post Office.\nWinlink Post Office ID = WY7EOC-10 (Located in Cheyenne)\n40m = 7.080.0 MHz\n80m = 3.583.0 MHz \nLogging:\nTo submit a log\, upload an ADIF file from your favorite logging software to:\nhttps://coloradoares.org/operation-crosstalk-colorado-wyoming-ares-nvis-exercise-may-9-2026/ \nA useful and free tool called ADIF Master is available for download at dxshell.com/adif-master.html. With ADIF Master you are able to edit and correct your ADIF logs. \nIf you do not have logging software to provide an ADIF log\, you can find a logging form at:\nhttps://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1gpPrWa7lvHSqdLOd1ywkTYGmpBLZKp3?usp=drive_link \nA spreadsheet or .pdf log can be submitted to wyoming.ares@gmail.com. \nIn your log\, provide the following information:\n• Your callsign used for the event\n• Your 6-digit maidenhead grid square. Look up you grid square at https://zone-check.eu/\n• Your radio model\n• Your power output\n• Your antenna setup including:\no Antenna type (dipole\, inverted V\, EFHW\, vertical\, etc.)\no Any key dimensions (height above ground\, element lengths\, etc.)\no Notable features\, obstructions\, limitations\, outside noise elements\, etc.\no Be as detailed as possible and include photos if available\no If you use more than one antenna configuration\, please create a separate log for each individual antenna \nFor each contact please provide:\n• Callsign received Six-digit Grid Square received\n• Time (MDT) Signal Report received\n• Band Signal Report sent\n• Mode Any notes specific to the contact \nIf you can hear a station\, but cannot make a contact with them\, add them to your log and provide the RX signal report and enter “No Contact” in the Notes section. \nGet out and operate and share this event with others. Go out as a solo operator\, get together as a group\, just get out and experiment with different antenna types (dipole\, inverted-V\, loop\, etc.). \nKeep notes and submit your results after the event for the After-Action Report so that we can learn from each other’s field experience. \nWe welcome any photos taken of your station\, your antenna or your group from the event. The AAR will be shared with everyone that submits a log\, and we will make the document public. \nDirect questions to W6AUN@arrl.net or check the Colorado ARES website at https://coloradoares.org/operation-crosstalk-colorado-wyoming-ares-nvis-exercise-may-9-2026/ \nMost of all\, have a safe and good time operating radio and Near Vertical Incidence Skywave!\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Near Vertical Incident Skywave (NVIS) 101 & 201 - Colorado ARES Section Wide Training
DESCRIPTION:NVIS is an important mode for Colorado ARES\, which can provide reliable communications in a three to five hundred mile radius without the use of repeaters.  NVIS is not an antenna\, but it is a propagation mode where antennas can be configured to optimize NVIS properties. Does that sound confusing? If so\, you need to join us via Zoom to learn more about NVIS and why it is an important communications capability for Colorado ARES. \nNVIS 101 & 201 training scheduled for Saturday\, April 18th at 09:00 MDT.  It is a two hour training event\, delivered in two sessions\, 101 followed by 201. \nMeeting details will be shared with District ECs closer to the training date.  Please contact your EC for more details.

SUMMARY:Face-to-Face:  Understanding NVIS Propagation
DESCRIPTION:NVIS propagation\, or Near Vertical Incidence Skywave\, is a type of radio communication that allows signals to travel medium distances (up to 650 km) by sending radio waves nearly straight up into the ionosphere\, where they are reflected back down to Earth. This method is particularly useful in areas where traditional line-of-sight communication is obstructed\, such as mountainous regions. \nRon\, N0IVN\, will present this topic to us at our January Face-to-Face meeting.  Come\, learn the theory and how to put this in practice.  What kind of antenna do you need to successfully do NVIS?  What considerations should you think through before engaging in NVIS communications?  Which HF frequencies are best for using NVIS propagation?   How does NVIS help Emcomm as a resource in communications?  Is NVIS better during the daytime or night time? \nThese questions and more can be answered by N0IVN.  See you at the January Face-to-Face meeting.     All are welcome to attend. \n

SUMMARY:Colorado State Simulated Emergency Test (SET)
DESCRIPTION:ARRL’s annual Simulated Emergency Test (SET) for Colorado is usually scheduled sometime during the Fall each year.  This year it falls on November 1st. \nThis nationwide exercise is the chance to test personal emergency-operating skills and the readiness of communications equipment and accessories in a simulated emergency-like deployment.  The ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Service ® (ARES®)\, the National Traffic System (NTS)\, the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES)\, SKYWARN\, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)\, Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network (SATERN)\, and other allied groups and public-service oriented radio amateurs are among those who are eligible to participate in the simulated exercise and to practice emergency operation plans\, nets and procedures. \nThis year the Colorado ARES Section will organize a coordinated communications exercise for all Colorado regions and districts.  The scenario and injects have not yet been developed or announced.  The annual exercise promises to test our radio skills and equipment abilities.  We may operate from each of our served agency’s EOC and Hospital’s Emergency Radio room. \nIt’s a great opportunity to participate and develop skills that are invaluable if the crisis were the real thing!  Time and duration of the event to be provided by leadership.  If you want to participate\, please contact OPS@aresdec.org.   For more information about our training opportunities\, please contact Training@aresdec.org.
