Back to the Present

Finally, I have moved and updated the set of Emergency Communications Topics that were used for training back in 2006. This updating was requested by our new EC, Dennis - AI8P, since they were only identified by the month and year they were created and he felt that they were being considered irrelevant since they were so old.

Well, for those who keep track, I did do the topic on the available on-line FEMA training recommendations.  That topic requires a bit more work and will be up later.

They have been moved to this blog to encourage keeping them up to date and adding new material.  There is certainly no shortage of new material available.  All I need is the energy and time to get up on my soapbox.

Some topics I hope to address in the near future are:

• Volunteer Reception Centers (VRC)
• Background Checks
• Digital Modes de Jour
• Message Handling
• Changing Role of Hams in Emergency Communications
• Training, Training and More Training

Stay tuned.
