Hurricane Ian was making its way to Tampa, Florida, in late September, the
Sheriff's Tactical Amateur Radio Communications (STARC), W4HSO, was preparing
for activation. ARRL member Tony DeAngelo, N2MFT, said STARC was activated
on Monday, September 26, and continued operations through Thursday,

amateur radio equipment in five of the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office
(HCSO) locations, as well as a Homeland Security office. "It's a great working
arrangement with all of the equipment provided for us," said DeAngelo. "Our
volunteers staffed those locations and the remainder worked from their
homes."</p><p>Over the course of the 4-day activation, 16 STARC
volunteers worked 24 hours a day passing information for aid and assistance
through the sheriff's office using WebEOC, a web-based emergency
management information system.</p><p>DeAngelo emphasized that STARC is
not a club, but a service organization. STARC volunteers are required to
undergo an extensive background investigation, including fingerprinting by
the HCSO. STARC volunteers are civilians and employees of various
Hillsborough County government agencies, Verizon, Tampa Electric, St. Joseph's
Hospital, Tampa Police Department, and other public and private agencies. In the
event of a disaster, radio operators provide communications between
participating agencies if normal means of communications are lost.</p><p>DeAngelo is a retired police officer, and has been a licensed amateur
radio operator for 30 years. He will continue to monitor weather
information in case another activation is needed. <br> <a name="m_5259675178970620266_toc02"></a></p><div class="m_5259675178970620266itemTitle">Ian, Julia, and Karl - The Latest Storm Updates</div><p>Cleanup and damage assessment from Hurricane Ian

sign, W5QX, honors Carl Brinegar, who originally held the call sign of 5QX

SAARC.</p><p>SAARC is currently working in partnership with <a href="https://www.angelo.edu/community/mayer-museum/" target="_blank">Angelo State University's Mayer Museum</a>, located on the campus of Angelo
State University, to create an exhibit that will tell the story of local radio
pioneers. Topics will include amateur radio operators, retail radio
businesses, public safety radio innovators, and broadcast radio stations that
formed in the Concho Valley area in the 1920s and 1930s.</p><p>Club member Mike Dominy, KD5URW, said SAARC is the only club within a
70-mile radius of San Angelo, Texas. "Our club and Amateur Radio Emergency

of 165,000," said Dominy. "With cell phone coverage only along major roads

Brief</i> about the Digital Library of Amateur Radio and Communications
(DLARC) included an incorrect email address for Program Manager Kay Savetz,
K6KJN. The correct email address is <a href="mailto:kay@archive.org" target="_blank">kay@archive.org</a>. </p><p>Also in that
edition, in the story "Amateur Radio Active During 2 Weeks Of Hurricanes," a quote
from Hurricane Watch Net Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV, was mistakenly
attributed to another manager.<br><i><br>The ARRL Letter</i> regrets these
errors.</p><div class="m_5259675178970620266itemuTitle" style="font-size:25.6px">Have News for
