This month's meeting we had guests Peter, K1PJS, NH Section Manager and Don, N1ZIH, PIO of Capitol area ARES
This month's special training is radiograms. We started with a look at early radiograms.
In general, radiograms should be short and to the point, but may need to be more verbose in certain situations such as shelter traffic etc.
Why send radiograms? Radiograms allow information to be passed via amateur radio, even when no other communication system works.
Our next ARES Meeting will be held on Wednesday, Otober 15, 2014 at 7 PM at the headquarters of the Port City Amateur Radio Club, 198 Tuttle Lane, Greenland NH. We will be holding a table-top exercise in handling radiograms. Bring plenty of radiogram forms and a pencil or two! The ARRL Radiogram form can be downloaded at http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Public%20Service/RADIOGRAM-2011.pdf and the Disaster Health and Welfare form (FSD-244) can be downloaded at http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Public%20Service/fsd244.pdf
See you there!
