The
Dayton Hamvention® reports that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security will
again offer its Auxiliary Communications (AuxComm) course in Dayton just before
this year's Hamvention.
The course, offered by DHS's Office of Emergency
Communications, "trains qualified amateur ration operators to assist their
local, county and state governments with emergency backup communications,"

than 1000 amateurs have already completed the course.
It will be offered from
May 12-14, with a registration limit of 50 students. Details are available on
