Here is a way for all of us to help support WeComm, who has been helping to support our role for many years. If you use Amazon.com to make any of your on-line purchases, consider using Amazon Smile (http://goo.gl/qTnEfs) instead. It is the same old Amazon that you are used to except this link will allow .5% of your purchase to be donated back to WeComm. It doesn't cost you anything to use this. You can buy anything at Amazon Smile that you can purchase at the regular Amazon site. The link provided above will take you to an Amazon Smile login screen that is basically the same as the login for Amazon except that it automatically selects WeComm as the recipient of the donation. Thanks to WeComm and I hope that the Amateur community can help out WeComm as much as they have helped us. ARRL Public Service Communications Manual &

SIMCOM Review from WI DMA
WI ARES/RACES gets a nice mention from the Deparment of Military afairs. Read the article here! Don W9IXG
At this years conference we paid tribute to Don Michalski W9IXG and his leadership role in Wisconsin ARES/RACES. Don Michalski was our Section Manager from 1999 – 2015. Don’s dedication and commitment to public service helped provide a strong foundation for Wisconsin ARES/RACES. That is why it was unanimous to permanently change the Wisconsin ARES/RACES Senior Leadership Award, to the Don Michalski Leadership Award. We are honored that Don’s family could attend and present the award. Don might be gone but we know that his legacy and hard work will continue-on. Thanks to Michael KB9VBR for recording this tribute. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlfSGsX_dNg Get to know Patrick Moretti, KA1RB
