Representatives of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security's Office of Emergency Communications will be offering the department's
Auxiliary Emergency Communications course in conjunction with next year's
Dayton Hamvention®. According to
Newsline, the course will be free and
"is intended to supplement and standardize an operator's basic knowledge
of emergency amateur radio communications in a public safety context." It
is scheduled to be held just prior to the Hamvention, in the Dayton area.
Details are available on the Hamvention website at <
