The NWS issued a Tornado Warning based on confirmed sightings in the adjacent counties to the west, as well as reports from their Doppler radar. Moments later, the Genesee County central dispatch center received a call that the roof on the brand new Tractor Supply Company store in Fenton had caved in and that the tornado had touched down.

About half of the Fenton Community Center's roof was blown off, and debris from the building blew across the road to Fenton United Methodist Church. Genesee County called out the fire departments and activated their Fire Coordination Plan.

Ham radio spotters have an agreement with Genesee County fire departments to provide supplemental communications for the departments. As the county's fire departments started to move toward the building collapse in Fenton, hams were already on the scene.

At the request of the fire chief at the scene, Bond went to the Fenton City fire station and, using ham radio, assisted their dispatch center; the storm had damaged their radio fire communications tower, so Bond and Schafer started working dispatch for them using their ham radios until the dispatch center was able to resume normal fire communications. As more reports of damage came in, the Fenton City and Township Fire Department became overloaded; their crippled communications tower did not help matters.

Evaluation of the damage started immediately after the storm. Baker was reassigned to a relief shelter to aid the Red Cross. What would normally have been a drive of less than 10 minutes took almost an hour due to trees and power lines down everywhere.

The city set up a command post in the parking lot of the Fenton City fire department and began operations from there. Michigan State Police responded to the area and instituted an 8 PM curfew for everyone. State and local police set up road blocks. ARES volunteers worked with all aspects of the incident. Damage reports and assessments continued until AM Saturday when the Incident Commander determined everyone should break until AM to get some rest. These new books will keep you current with rapid advances in radio operating and experimentation.

This 85th edition is both a useful introduction to radio communication and a source for answers to questions about every aspect of the state-of-the-art. Topics include Amateur Radio licensing requirements and operating activities, fundamental and advanced electronics and communications concepts, radio propagation and antenna theory, practical projects, repair techniques, references and much more.

The Handbook includes descriptions for new and emerging wireless technologies involving digital signal processing DSP innovations, and radio applications utilizing software and the Internet. The book is filled with valuable references, practical examples and projects. The CD-ROM at the back of the book includes all of the fully searchable text and illustrations in the printed book, as well as companion software, PC board templates and other support files.

Both editions will be available in early October. There is something here for every radio operator -- beginners and more advanced operators alike. And, as this technology rapidly advances, your increased understanding of digital communication techniques will make certain that you stay in the race as new modes and methods unfold.

Are you just getting started with exploring digital communications? All it takes is your sound-card-equipped computer and your HF transceiver. Discover how to build and operate low-power radio gear - the QRP way, with sections on equipment and station accessories, antennas and operating strategies.

There are new sections on Emergency Communication and surplus military equipment, including how to restore and use this classic radio hardware. Antenna Compendium Volume 4, the popular antenna book from , is being reprinted due to increasing demand.

You'll find 38 articles inside, covering a wide range of topics. There are simple, practical antenna projects, and there are heavy-duty, theoretical treatments of complex arrays.

When the sunspots are low, head for the low-bands - seven articles are devoted to 80 and meters, including some truly gargantuan arrays. There are articles for mobile work, too. A section on portable or temporary antennas that will get you thinking about Field Day in June, regardless of what time of year you read it.

AC Power Interference Handbook, 3rd edition, revised, looks at the causes, effects, locating and correction of power-line and electrical interference, and includes a new locating concept!

ARRL is the worldwide distributor for this title. These are the result of development work and discussions with professionals in the radio industry over a period of several years. One new test concerns receiver blocking gain compression and reciprocal mixing.

This is also known as desense or overload. In some cases, the cause is a reduction in receiver gain. In other cases "noise limited" measurements , the cause is an increase in the receiver's internal noise due to the noise sidebands of the local oscillator mixing together with the strong interferer also known as "reciprocal mixing".

The level of the noise masks the gain reduction effect on the desired signal. Instead of reporting the BDR as a noise limited measurement, the Lab will now be using narrow-band measurement techniques to "dig out" the desired signal on noise-limited measurements and determine the point of gain reduction. To distinguish from earlier measurements, the name will be changed to "Blocking Gain Compression. Together, these two measurements provide more information about how the receiver behaves with a single strong interfering signal.

In , the level was changed to a response that produced an S5 reading on the receiver's own S-meter. The decision was based largely on this being a more typical average of signals that would be found on the bands. The drawbacks to this approach are that there is a great variation in S-meters from receiver to receiver see Product Review, April and it overlooks the significant change that can often be observed in receivers at higher signal levels.

The lowest level measurement is made at the noise floor, as has been done in the past. These three levels taken together should present the best overall view of a receiver's total performance, with each level being most useful in a particular context.

He said, "The chief reason is that manufacturers typically do not include a bandwidth in their specification, and measurements in different bandwidths are not directly comparable. All other things being equal, there is more noise power in a 3 kHz bandwidth than a 2.
