[MarinTeams] CERT Radio On-Air Practice tonight (Monday) 7:00pm. Special Notices, please read!

[Bill Smith]

Tonight (Monday) we will be exercising our various means of connectivity as
part of the CERT Radio program.

Please join us 7:00-7:30 PM on the air tonight, starting on Channel 5
(Central Marin Repeater, 146.775 (-) PL 127.3).  We will also make calls on
Channel 4 (Mill Valley Repeater, 146.775 (-) PL110.9), and on Channel 3
(145.640). 

Novato Stations: The 438.350 frequency can be used for a local simplex net
at 6:45.  The 438.350 cross-band into the Central Marin Repeater may be
activated at 7:00PM.  If not heard, attempt to check directly into the
Central Marin Repeater using Channel 5.

Look forward to hearing you on the air!

Two announcements: The first great news is we have received notification
from the IRS that the Hamilton Wireless Association is now recognized as a
Tax Exempt Public Charity under section 501(c)3.  We will make further
announcements after the first of the month.  The other announcement is HWA
is conducting a license examination and class on Saturday, May 10.  If you
are unlicensed, or know someone who would like to obtain their Amateur Radio
license, please plan to participate in the examination.  Our class is open
to CERT graduates (or those who make a strong commitment to taking Community
Emergency Resource Training), and members of MMRC or other similar emergency
response volunteer groups.  To register, send $25 with your name, address,
email, and phone number to Hamilton Wireless Association, PO Box 157635, San
Rafael, CA 94915.

Considering the time before the next license class, we can reschedule this
Thursday's Communication Class and synchronize the four-class cycle to begin
with the first session after the May 10 examination.  The Thursday, May 1st.
class would normally introduce Message Handling, but we will hold that
instead class on Thursday, May 8th.  Additional information will be posted
regarding the May 8th class.

A class will not be held this Thursday, May 1st.

Thank you, and hope to hear you on the air this evening!

Sincerely,

Bill, AB6MT
