"During the 2003 San Diego fires it was a HAM radio operator who was a ward member who was able to deliver the message to evacuate. The 911 system did not notify residents and the office of emergency preparedness was closed as it was a Sunday. Eleven families in that ward lost their homes but thanks to a HAM who was in touch with first responders, no lives were lost." by Don L. Nicolaysen (KR6US)
We have an excellent opportunity to attend a One-Day Ham Operator Class on Oct 16th at BYU. It's an accelerated class offered by Kenneth Moravec. Seating is limited so if you would like to attend, you will need to register right away. Click here for details.
Ham Operators will be vital for our neighborhood during an emergency. To get this training during a one day course will give you an invaluable tool for the rest of your life - wherever you are.
