[MarinTeams] CERT Radio Communications Class Tonight (Thursday) at Building 549

[Bill Smith]

We are meeting this Thursday night (tonight) at Building 549, Hamilton Field at 7:00pm to practice our ongoing communications training.   We are meeting Thursday evenings at Hamilton.   Training has been going extremely well, and we can continue to practice on-air, especially tonight.  We now have ICS manuals for everyone.  A new series of four classes begins tonight which will continue each Thursday and conclude just before our next License Class, Saturday November 14.  We intend to include lots of practice, please attend even if you are feeling more comfortable with the program.  There will be plenty of opportunity for you to participate If you are interested in teaching the class.

Building 549 is located in the Coast Guard Housing section at Hamilton.  A map can be found at our clubhouse site http://www.k6bw.org.  Here are summary instructions:

Hamilton Field is located north of San Rafael in Novato.  Take the Hamilton Field/Nave Drive Exit from Highway 101.  If you are traveling from the south, continue on Nave Drive through one stoplight until you reach the Hamilton Field Main Gate.  Turn right into Hamilton onto Main Gate Drive. If you are traveling from the north, take the Hamilton Field exit and turn right and take the overpass over Highway 101.  Take the first right and continue down the frontage road (Nave Drive) through two stoplights until you reach the Hamilton Field Main Gate.  Turn left into Hamilton onto Main Gate Drive.

Continue on Main Gate Drive through one stoplight until you pass over a white bridge.  On the other side of the bridge, take the next right to
Crescent Dr.  Drive a short block over another smaller bridge, then turn right again to enter the Coast Guard Housing Area.  Continue on Crescent until you spot a large palm tree and a wye in the road.  Turn left, and continue up a small incline to San Jose Dr.  Turn left again onto San Jose Dr.  On the right you will see a small driveway with a white sign marked Building 549.
