The Cape Cod ARES will present an all day technical workshop on Saturday November 19th from 9am to 4pm. It is provided free to all emcomm enthusiasts. The workshop will be hosted by the Town of Sandwich at their Elder Services building. This will be a technical only workshop consisting of several modules dealing with emergency communications response. This will be a workshop to give you a good background in the technical and hardware aspects of emcomm. We will go over the many hours of R&D by CCARES on expedient equipment. We will also concentrate heavily on personal safety. We hope this workshop will benefit those attending by passing on the experience and development by our field operators. Lunch will not be provided at the facility, but we will give out a list and map to nearby restaurants. You are also free to bring your own lunch if you desire. There will be coffee available in the morning at no charge. We will be pre-registering participants for the workshop. Walk-in space will likely also be available. Please pre-register by email at the email address listed below.
