BARC TO SPONSOR ARRL LEVEL 1 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS COURSE

    As many of you know, I have been preparing an ARRL EMCOMM Level 1 
training course for BARC members.  We have reached a point where we need your input 
to schedule the course.

    The ARRL recommends a "hybrid" approach to the EMCOMM class.  This method 
combines the best of online training, classroom and mentoring principles.  I 
have participated in a hybrid class and found it to be very helpful.  Further 
information on the hybrid method is available at: 
http://www.arrl.org/cce/hybrid-faq.html.

    The ARRL has instituted a grant program that provides for a $45.00 
reimbursement for ARRL members.  The cost of the program will be $57.95 (plus 
meals), which includes the EMCOMM text, a very handy refresher. 

We need to know the following:

a.  Would you be interested in participating in a Hybrid EMCOMM Class?
b.  Would you be willing to attend a Saturday & Sunday session?
c.  If the first program is successful, would you be interested in 
participating in the other two EMCOMM courses?

We have secured a training site that has off-street parking and is convenient 
to the MBTA.  All we need now is to find out how many people want to 
participate in this training.

Please send me an e-mail, [email protected], or call me and leave a message at 
781 925-9900, no later than Sunday February 29, 2004 if you are interested in 
participating in the proposed EMCOMM course.

Thanks for your time and effort.
