GRID DOWN OPERATOR CLASS June 25, July 23, August 24. 6pmCST | Unpaved Expeditions

CLASS BEGINS 6/25/24 I missed sending the link last week - come join me in this class!

This is a 3 class event. In between classes you will be assigned assignments. This is voluntary work but you will get out of this class what you put into it.

This class is for the people that want to dial those communication skills in but it's more than just that.This class covers communications skills for any situation that alters our main power grid. Here we will help you gain the mindset coupled with skills, practical plans and field exercises to prove your concepts.
There will be homework and the ability to call Instructors after Hours to help assist.

In this class each student will be helped one on one with his or her problems, questions and help assist a comms team plan within his or her abilities. We will not be setting up software programs. But we will show you the ones that are available that we find most useful and how to implement those in a Grid Down situation.

FCC: Wildfires Silence Three New Mexico Stations.

A pair of wildfires near Ruidoso, NM continued to burn Friday, spreading across thousands of acres in southern New Mexico. The Federal Communications Commission says three radio stations in the area have been knocked out of service, including classic country KWES-FM (93.5), classic hits KBUY (1360), and “Bear Country” KWES (1450) — as well as two FM translators used to relay the AMs. All of the signals are owned by Walton Stations.

Broadcast Network Coverage of 1948 ARRL Field Day – RRI

With the annual ARRL Field Day event rapidly approaching, we thought it might be nice to share this audio recording of a 1948 network radio broadcast covering Amateur Radio and Field Day. This recording was provided to Radio Relay International courtesy of the historical archives of the Morse Telegraph Club, an association of retired railroad and commercial telegraph operators, former telegraph industry employees, historians, and others with an interest in the history of telegraphy and telecommunications (www.morsetelegraphclub.com)
