[FARC] ARES/RACES Courses

[Bob Moroney]

Kirk,

You took the right courses to enable you to participate in RACES and 
other MEMA/FEMA-sponsored emergency response activities.   The leading 
zeros don't mean anything.

There are other, higher-level courses available (Jeff or Joe or Bill or 
one of the Jims can fill you in what's available and what  their 
completion gets you), but you've completed the entry-level stuff that 
you need. 

Now all you have to do is get copies of your certificates to Jim WA3FUJ 
for his records, along with your RACES registration form, if you're 
interested in participating in RACES.

73, Bob K9CMR
