This project is a result of dialog and technology sharing between the CT ARES team, Western Massachusetts Section ARES, New Hampshire Section ARES, and EMA Section ARES amateur radio operators. The original concept was presented by W1MPN and KD1CY. Details of the project were developed over time and tested with members of the CT, WMA, NH and EMA ARES staff and general membership including N1HY, AF1HS (SK), N1FY, W1GMF (SK), KB1EKN, W3EVE, N1BDA, WQ1O, WK1H, N2YHK, N1CKM (SK), KL1WD and others.
The web page layout is designed to comply with the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative - to make the web content accessible to people with disabilities. Thanks to N1HY for page design and to Betsey K1EIC and John N1UMJ for testing.
Credit also to Jim KB1KQW and Steve W3EVE for input on the mailing functions and special thanks to Bob DeMattia K1IW for the interface model he built in an online project for the Boston Marathon
