ARES SKYWARN Coordinator and Eastern Massachusetts ARES Section Emergency Coordinator Rob Macedo, KD1CY, was awarded with a surprise plaque for 20 years of service to the Voice over IP (“VoIP”) Hurricane Net.
District Emergency Coordinator Jim Palmer, KB1KQW, arranged for HWN Net Manager Bobby Graves, KB5HAV, to be present via Zoom during Rob’s SKYWARN talk. Graves presented the award “virtually” in front of the attendees.
“I was aware of the award because it was mentioned [earlier in the year] at the National Hurricane Conference Amateur Radio Workshop, but I did not attend in person this year due to work commitments,” said Macedo.
