Just finished up a real nice two hour conversation with some of the hams back where I used to live via #AllStar. Man I miss those guys.
I've talked to a couple of hams here and they all seem to be #emcomm guys who aren't interested in rag chewing. I joined one of their nets the other day and it consisted of nothing more than jumping from repeater to repeater to make sure they were all still working in case a disaster strikes.
They seemed friendly enough, but emcomm is not the reason I'm in to #HamRadio.

"The art of radio only begins with what you buy to get you on the air. The real work of refining your art comes from consistent practice."

@wdlindsy too many #trumpers in my local #hamRadio clubs for me to see them as #safeplaces. #ARES #RACES particularly so. (#CERT, not so much because it largely led by #blackwomen & run by #FEMA). How would they respond to communications #emergenies in 75% #AfricanAmerican #princegeorgescounty? I began to lose interest in local #emcomm years ago when "teammates" indicated that they wouldn't #volunteer in #sketchyneighborhoods 
. #america is #sketchyneighborhood for #blackfolks.

Had a great time providing radio communications at the #HeadOfTheCharles Regatta the past 3 days. Relatively uneventful for me aside from a few out of tent responses.
Farpoint Farms (Erik) on YouTube makes a good case for why we all might want to consider owning an old-fashioned analog #scanner for use during emergencies - even if most of the comms around you have moved over to digital ~ #EMCOMM #Helene #DisasterCommunication #Hurricane2024 #HamRadio #AmateurRadio ~ https://youtu.be/BX7EH708Jd0?si=jZDKYIv9dsPRaoye

Talk about Effective Communications. The MD governor reported the ship called a mayday and the traffic going onto the bridge was stopped before the collapse.
No sense of how much time passed or when the mayday was called in relation to the collapse, but it couldn't have been very long.
Strong work! Strong Communications!
Last week's @RATPAC #emcomm panel had several memorable quotes that I really hope we follow up on.
The one about professional emergency services people avoiding #hamradio people and actively discouraging incorporation of hams into plans was hard to hear.
There was a strong consensus that the way forward was "more training" and "appear professional". A quote was "don't show up (to volunteer) dressed like you live under a bridge".

Tip on emergency response kit:
In the setup shown in the previous post you can spot a little point of sale receipt printer.
They don't need any ink. They sip only a tiny amount of power (mine is actually battery or plug powered). You can dump text files to them easily, which is good for message passing during incident response.
Downside of the #hamradio folks here in my county: lots of stress chattering on the #repeaters about their personal experience, with no breaks if there were emergency radio traffic. No net control. #emcomm #earthquake

@ai6yr thanks for helping me get into this hobby and service. #hamradio #emcomm #wavetalkers
#hamradio #emcomm #acs #ares A contact of mine at CalOES tells me they are trying to fill a spot for All-Hazards Communications Unit Leader (COML) course. The course will be held on April 24 – 27 at Ben Clark Training Center 16791 Davis Ave., Riverside, CA, requires ICS 100,200,300,700 and 800 as prerequisites. Ping me if you might fit that profile.
According to DXWorld.net, 28540 MHz (sic!) is the frequency for #emergency traffic following Turkey's major M7.8 #earthquake earlier today.
10cm?! Or should it be 28540 *k*Hz in 10m?
Well, in any case... please keep this frequency clear
