* ARRL to sponsor emergency communications course seminar: The ARRL will
offer a free Amateur Radio Emergency Communications course (ARECC)
seminar
March 8, in conjunction with the 2003 Roanoke Division Convention in
Charlotte, North Carolina. The seminar will not include the Level I
course
itself. This program is designed to explain in greater detail the duties
of volunteer certification mentors, instructors and examiners of the
Amateur Radio Emergency Communications courses and provide additional
information for those considering these volunteer positions. "With Level
I
emergency communications training being offered nationwide under the
homeland security grant from the Corporation for National and Community
Service, we hope to have all ARECC team players reading from the same
page
to ensure success under the federal grant guidelines," said ARRL
Emergency
Communications Course Manager Dan Miller, K3UFG. The seminar will be held
Saturday, March 8, at the Charlotte Merchandise Mart, Independence and
Freedom Halls, 2500 E Independence Blvd. Seating may be limited. Contact
Dan Miller, K3UFG, k3ufg@arrl.org; 860-594-0340; fax 860-594-0259, at
ARRL
HQ if you plan to attend. For registered CMs, CIs and CEs who attend,
mileage may be reimbursable up to a total of $35. Seminar attendance does
not include admission to the convention, which is March 8 and 9. For more
information on the 2003 Roanoke Division Convention, visit the sponsoring
Mecklenburg Amateur Radio society Web site. <
