Training at Shelby EMA

Congratulations to John Wilder WB4CCQ for conducting the first training session at the Shelby County EMA office last night, July 31. He went through a tutorial on the installed radio equipment and demonstrated several pieces to the 14 SCARC attendees. He also held a tutorial on message handling using the ARRL message form which will be used most of the time. Also, he explained the need for logging and exhibited a proposed logging form. He will be holding a second training session on October 30 for any of the Club members who could not make the first one.

In 2009 John hopes to conduct a different session during which he will teach the members how to use the computer programs such as WinLink2000 (Air Mail) and several others. We are all looking forward to it.
