This hands-on practice workshop will help us hone our message creation and passing skills. It’s important to make sure that our communications are captured and passed accurately and efficiently and the focus will be the techniques to make that happen. Hands on practice will focus on creating and passing message traffic where we will use messages simulating city generated information as well as craft coherent communications from disjointed bits of information. The workshop will not be a radio-operations class.
There will be an optional session afterwards that covers Ground Mobile Radio Service (GMRS) information; what it is, how it’s used and equipment and repeater information.

Suggest logging on up to 15 minutes early.
