Association Manager Richard Jones, N2GBR Assistant Association Manager Mark Schreiner, NK8Q Page 4 Summits on the Air – ARM for USA PA/MD/DE (W3) 1.1 SOTA Program Derivation W3 SOTA Program is an extension of similar programs already active in other countries. Summit qualification for inclusion in the SOTA Program is based on the relative height of summits compared to their surroundings, and the W3 Association defines a minimum of 492 feet of vertical rise from the surrounding saddle in order to qualify. This vertical separation from surrounding terrain is the basis of the definition of geographic [topographic] prominence, which Wikipedia has an excellent description of here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prominence. Participants in the W3 SOTA program must meet the qualifications stated in the SOTA General Rules and must participate in accordance with these rules. In cases where information in this reference is in conflict with the General Rules, the General Rules shall take precedence. Full text of the SOTA General Rules can be found at https://www.sota.org.uk/Joining-In/General-Rules 1.2 Disclaimer Hiking and mountain climbing are potentially hazardous activities in W3 with its extreme weather and in some cases elevation. The SOTA Management Team, the W3-PA/MD/DE Association and their officers do not accept responsibility for any death or injury resulting from participation in SOTA. The inclusion of a summit in this Reference Manual does not indicate that it is safe, legal or even possible to climb to the summit. The Summit Reference data is not guaranteed to be accurate and sole reliance should not be placed upon it. Any activator must be sure to check applicable local, state, and federal laws to be sure that a hike or climb up to any of the summits listed in this manual is legal and safe. Some summits may reside in private lands and all activators must respect private property rights. Other summits are located on restricted government owned land (e.g. military bases, gunnery ranges and bombing ranges) where trespass is not only illegal but could result in death. Under no circumstances should a summit be activated without the requisite permissions. Proper training, experience and personal capability assessment is required. Do not become a statistic. 1.3 General Information W3 SOTA Program includes those summits within the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The FCC issues amateur radio licenses with the prefix W3 by default for all PA/MD/DE applicants. All participants (Activators and Chasers) in the SOTA Program must be currently licensed by the FCC. The US amateur call region of W3 encompasses three US states: Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware. If the reader finds a summit which he believes to meet the qualifications of the SOTA program, or if a mistake is found in the summit data, please contact the Association/Region Manager. If an activator wishes to see a particular summit included in the W3 Association, please provide the Association Manager the following information: 1. Name of summit as named on the USGS Geonames database. 2. The Latitude and Longitude of summit. 3. The elevation of the summit above sea level. Page 5 Summits on the Air – ARM for USA PA/MD/DE (W3) 4. The summit’s prominence value along with a citation of the source of this data. The Association Manager will check whether the summit meets the qualification criteria and, if it does, will forward this information to the SOTA Management Team for inclusion in the database. The decisions of the Association Manager and the Management Team are final regarding the interpretation of the criteria and the inclusion or exclusion of a summit. Summits cannot be counted for points in the SOTA program until a reference number has been issued in the SOTA Summits database 1.4 Final Access, Activation Zone Explained The SOTA general rules state that radio operations must take place within a summit’s Activation Zone, which, in the case of the W3 association, is an area within 82 vertical feet of the actual summit point. The Activation Zone is a single, “unbroken” area which can be visualized by drawing a closed shape on a map, following a contour line 82 feet below the summit point. Another way to describe the activation zone is any place that has a route to the summit point that does not dip below 82 feet of the summit point. The operating position must be within this zone, but antennas may extend well beyond. The SOTA General Rules also state that the method of final access to the Summit must be non- motorized. The General Rules do not specify the distance, either vertical or route, that this final access must cover. Operation from, or with equipment attached to, a vehicle is never permitted during a SOTA activation. Activators should feel free to contact the Association Manager should further clarification be deemed necessary, or if any doubt exists in an activator’s mind as to whether the Activation will be valid for SOTA. 1.5 Rights of Way and Access Issues Many W3 SOTA summits

    Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory

    HUNTINGDON COUNTY NATURAL HERITAGE INVENTORY Prepared for: The Huntingdon County Planning Commission 205 Penn Street, Suite 3 Huntingdon, PA 16652 Prepared by: Western Pennsylvania Conservancy 209 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 This project was funded through grants supplied by the Department of Community and Economic Development, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – Office of Wild Resource Conservation. PREFACE The Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory identifies and maps Huntingdon County’s most significant natural places. The study investigated plant and animal species and natural communities that are unique or uncommon in the county; it also explored areas important for general wildlife habitat and scientific study. The inventory does not confer protection to any of the areas listed in the report. It is, however, a tool for informed and responsible decision-making. Public and private organizations may use the inventory to guide land acquisition and conservation decisions. Local municipalities and the County may use it to help with comprehensive planning, zoning, and the review of development proposals. Developers, utility companies, and government agencies alike may benefit from access to this environmental information prior to the creation of detailed development plans. Although the inventory was conducted using a tested and proven methodology, it is best viewed as a preliminary report rather than the final word on the subject of Huntingdon County’s natural heritage. Further investigations could potentially uncover previously unidentified Natural Heritage Areas. Likewise, in-depth investigations of sites listed in this report could reveal features of further or greater significance than have been documented. Some of the areas described here are privately owned.

    NORTHEASTERN BULRUSH (Sciqms ancistrochaetus) RECOVERY PLAN U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Region Five Hadley, Massachusetts NORTHEASTERN BULRUSH (Scirpus ancistrochaetus) RECOVERY PLAN Prepared by: Carole K. Copeyon Pennsylvania Field Office U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service State College, Pennsylvania for: Northeast Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Hadley, Massachusetts Approved: Regional Director, Northeast Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Date: AUG 25U~3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Northeastern Bulrush Recovery Plan Current Species Status: The northeastern bulrush (Scirpus ancistrochaetus) was listed as endangered on June 6, 1991. Thirty-three extant populations are currently known from seven eastern states; 11 historical populations are presumed extirpated. Several of the extant populations are small, and most are subject to threats ranging from habitat degradation or loss caused by development and land use practices, to natural threats such as succession and herbivory. Habitat Requirements: Scirpus ancistrochaetus is found in ponds, wet depressions, or shallow sinkholes within small (generally less than one acre) wetland complexes. These wetlands are characterized by seasonally variable water levels. Recovery Objective: To reclassify the northeastern bulrush from endangered to threatened status. A delisting objective will be based upon results of initial recovery tasks. Recovery Criteria: Reclassification will be initiated when: 20 populations are permanently protected; annual monitoring over a 10-year period shows that 20 representative populations are stable or increasing; and life history and ecological requirements are understood sufficiently to allow for effective protection, monitoring, and management. Recovery Strategy: The primary strategy for recovery of Scirpus ancistrochaetus involves restoring the species’ rangewide distribution through protection of known extant populations and their habitat, as well as conducting searches for additional populations.
