ARRL to sponsor emergency communications seminar in Oklahoma (Jan 15,
2004) -- In conjunction with the Salvation Army Team Emergency Network
(SATERN) Conference in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, ARRL will offer a free
Amateur Radio Emergency Communications seminar Saturday, February 21. The
seminar will not include the Level I course itself. A PowerPoint
presentation will include background information, group discussion of
multiple disaster scenarios as well as testimony from emergency
communications leaders, ARECC mentors and students, discussion about the
ARRL emergency communications courses and a quiz to determine personal
preparedness. Senior citizens are strongly encouraged to participate. "With
the continuing support of our federal homeland security grant from the
Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), and the national
grant from our corporate partner, United Technologies Corporation, ARECC
participants are reinforcing the ARES Field Organization," said ARRL
Emergency Communications Course Manager Dan Miller, K3UFG. "This seminar
will explain the importance of every team player with emphasis on using
lessons learned to effectively move Amateur Radio emergency communications
to the next level." All SATERN and ARES/RACES volunteers, ARECC course
participants, ARRL Field Organization leaders, course participants at every
ARECC level, mentors, certification instructors and examiners and interested
amateurs are invited to share their experiences and ideas. "We will focus on
coordination between ARECC volunteers and students and their integration
into the Field Organization, helping us to provide the community impact
stressed by CNCS for Year 2," Miller said. The seminar will be held at the
Salvation Army Citadel, 2808 SE 44th, Oklahoma City, from 9 AM until 1 PM.
Seating may be limited. Those planning to attend should contact Dan Miller,
K3UFG, k3ufg@arrl.org; 860-594-0340; FAX 860-594-0259. For more information
