EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS TRAINING

The Mendocino County Office of Emergency Services, in conjunction with the Mendocino Auxiliary Communications Service (MACS), will be offering two one-hour ZOOM presentations on emergency radio procedures and on emergency radio documentation. Unlike our regular day-to-day chatting, emergency communications require special considerations to be efficient and to document what you have done.

These two presentations will be offered twice in October on the following dates from 1800 to 1900 hours:

  • Oct 21 - Monday - Procedures
  • Oct 25 - Friday - Documentation
  • Nov 4 - Monday - Documentation
  • Nov 8 - Friday - Procedures

You need only attend one presentation for each topic. When registering, please give me the dates you wish to attend.

For those wishing to attend, please register with me so I can send you the invitation with the ZOOM meeting link and the appropriate forms for the practice sessions. Please share this information with other hams you know.

73,
Mike KC6MGM
MACS Coordinator


PETER KOOLS, NB6H, SK

It is with sadness that we report that our friend and colleague, Peter Kools, NB6H, passed away recently. Peter had recently joined the amateur radio world but in a short period, worked his way up to an extra-class license, became active on the VHF and HF bands, became accredited as a volunteer examiner (with participation in 10 sessions in a year!), gave presentations at our last general license training class, and stepped up to be the secretary for McARCS. He was known for his warm personality and willingness to help.

The McARCS officers and members extend our condolences to Peter's family.
