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  URL:https://aresdec.org/event/face-to-face-2-40/ LOCATION:HRSS – Highlands Ranch DCSO Substation\, 9250 Zotos Drive\, Highlands Ranch\, CO\, 80129\, United States CATEGORIES:Face-to-Face Meetings GEO:39.54832;-104.997153 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=HRSS – Highlands Ranch DCSO Substation 9250 Zotos Drive Highlands Ranch CO 80129 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=9250 Zotos Drive:geo:-104.997153,39.54832 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20260122T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20260122T190000 DTSTAMP:20251225T200814Z CREATED:20241114T163251Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251225T200814Z UID:10004247-1769104800-1769108400@aresdec.org SUMMARY:ARESDEC NPO Annual Meeting DESCRIPTION:ARESDEC members\, \nWelcome to a New Year!  One thing the new year brings are new activities for the ARESDEC. \n\nIt’s time to renew your NPO annual membership for another year!

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. \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/ URL:https://aresdec.org/event/fall-poker-run-2/ LOCATION:Rampart Range\, CO\, United States CATEGORIES:Event GEO:39.32777;-105.09408 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250904T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250904T203000 DTSTAMP:20241109T225114Z CREATED:20241109T225114Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241109T225114Z UID:10002439-1757016000-1757017800@aresdec.org SUMMARY:ARESDEC Weekly Net DESCRIPTION:Weekly Nets\n\nWeekly ARESDEC nets are held every Thursday at 20:00 local time\, except for the fourth Thursday of each month which is reserved for our monthly Face-to-Face meeting.

What goes into it? What is the process to get a ICS-213RR to the EOC in a complete and timely manner? We will have a table top exercise filling out ICS-213RR forms. What does the Logistics Section do with it after receipt? How does the EOC track resources when ordered and received? These and many other questions will be answered as we learn together. \nWe’ll also have a demonstration of  VEOCI Emergency Management software and how it works with the ICS-213RR.  You don’t want to miss this Face-to-Face meeting. \nSee you at the meeting! \n  URL:https://aresdec.org/event/face-to-face-8-28-2025/ LOCATION:HRSS – Highlands Ranch DCSO Substation\, 9250 Zotos Drive\, Highlands Ranch\, CO\, 80129\, United States CATEGORIES:Face-to-Face Meetings GEO:39.54832;-104.997153 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=HRSS – Highlands Ranch DCSO Substation 9250 Zotos Drive Highlands Ranch CO 80129 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=9250 Zotos Drive:geo:-104.997153,39.54832 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250824T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250824T203000 DTSTAMP:20241223T014921Z CREATED:20241210T033542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241223T014921Z UID:10004564-1756065600-1756067400@aresdec.org SUMMARY:ARES VHF Net 2000 DESCRIPTION:Statewide ARES voice Nets are held each Sunday.

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 at Rueter-Hess Reservoir\, 9343 Double Angel Road\, Parker. This location is off Stroh Road\, south of Hess Road\, on the southeast side of the Rueter-Hess Reservoir. Here is a Google Map Link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/bWw3m4VVxYS28w8n9.\n \nThe exact GPS coordinates are: 39.478959084187515\, -104.81674008006836 \nSetup begins at 12:00 PM on Friday\, and the beginning of actual Field Day activities/communications start at 12:00 PM on Saturday and continuing for 24 hours until 12:00 PM on Sunday.  And not a drop of AC power is used to communicate across the globe.  Amazing\, right? \nARES of Douglas and Elbert Counties will be making ham radio contacts from a NEW Field Day location. The public is invited to check out Field Day and come see what ham radio is all about. \n \n \nPeter\, W0OW (left) and Bill\, KF0CWS (right). \nEveryone is welcome to come and see what happens at Field Day!

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/ URL:https://aresdec.org/event/spring-poker-run-3/ LOCATION:Rampart Range\, CO\, United States CATEGORIES:Event GEO:39.32777;-105.09408 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250529T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250529T203000 DTSTAMP:20241109T231305Z CREATED:20241109T230858Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241109T231305Z UID:10002612-1748548800-1748550600@aresdec.org SUMMARY:ARESDEC Weekly Net DESCRIPTION:Weekly Nets\n\nWeekly ARESDEC nets are held every Thursday at 20:00 local time\, except for the fourth Thursday of each month which is reserved for our monthly Face-to-Face meeting.

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  URL:https://aresdec.org/event/mad-gravel-race-2/ LOCATION:Peaceful Valley Scout Ranch\, 22799 Elbert Rd.\, Elbert\, CO\, 80106\, United States CATEGORIES:Event END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250522T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250522T203000 DTSTAMP:20241110T012208Z CREATED:20241110T012208Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241110T012208Z UID:10002634-1747944000-1747945800@aresdec.org SUMMARY:ARESDEC Weekly Net Cancelled DESCRIPTION:There is no Weekly Net on the 4th Thursday of each month if ARESDEC is sponsoring a monthly Face-to-Face meeting or if a holiday falls on the 4th Thursday.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a Mission Coordinator? In ARES\, we use Mission Coordinators for both planned events and ‘real-world’ activations. What does it take to be a Mission Coordinator? Are the demands on a Mission Coordinator different for planned events versus activation? Come to our Face-to- Face meeting to get these questions and more answered by experienced ARESDEC Mission Coordinators. \nDuring this Face-to-Face meeting\, we will do a deeper dive into the planning and execution of planned events and probably take 75-90 min. Jerry\, AG7U plans to involve our District EC and the 2024 MCs (AD0UZ\, K0WJF\, N4JJR & W6AUN) in a panel type discussion (in addition to the presentation) to include their perspective and experience. We’ll include some Field Day lessons learned. \nIt will be well worth your time to attend and walk away with all the information you need to be an MC in 2025! \nChris KF0KFA and Chris K0BOM (NCS/ANCS respectively) at the Highlands Ranch Turkey Day 5K\, (11/23/2023)\n  URL:https://aresdec.org/event/face-to-face-2-19/ LOCATION:HRSS – Highlands Ranch DCSO Substation\, 9250 Zotos Drive\, Highlands Ranch\, CO\, 80129\, United States CATEGORIES:Face-to-Face Meetings GEO:39.54832;-104.997153 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=HRSS – Highlands Ranch DCSO Substation 9250 Zotos Drive Highlands Ranch CO 80129 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=9250 Zotos Drive:geo:-104.997153,39.54832 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20250224T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20250224T203000 DTSTAMP:20250120T192402Z CREATED:20250107T221615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250120T192402Z UID:10002691-1740421800-1740429000@aresdec.org SUMMARY:DC AuxComm Semi-Annual All-Hands Meeting DESCRIPTION:We schedule two “semi-annual” meetings for DC AuxComm members to meet together for AuxComm training.
