______________________________
Good Morning All,
First I would like to personally thank every operator who participated in this event. Your recognition of the need to do your part in a training exercise shows the kind of dedication we need to fulfill our roles as providers of emergency communications support to the public when needed. This is one of the opportunities we have to “give back” for the privilege of holding an amateur operator license. Not only did you participate; you performed very well. Your skill and professionalism are to be highly commended.
Second, I would like the thank the leadership of this event. From the early planning stages to the final report you have demonstrated the insight and management skills it takes to successfully guide your team through an event such as this. At a crucial time in the history of the relationship of ARES and MS-150, I feel quite certain you have salvaged the opportunity to participate in future MS-150 events. This has only been a direct result of the attention to detail you portrayed in the performance of your duties. Thank you for a job very well done!
Please pass this message to all team members who may not receive a direct copy of this e-mail. I sincerely appreciate the time and effort invested by all in this qualified success.
73,
Ron Mettler WB4GHU
Northern Florida SEC
