Tom Kinahan, N1CPE writes on mras_general:

I’ve found that MEMA is now offering ICS-200 Incident Command training classes on weekends. The next one is scheduled for January 14 and 21, 2006 (consecutive Saturdays).

I’m working to get more details, but this is a great opportunity to get Incident Command training for hams and other volunteers like ourselves without taking time from our normal jobs.

See the MEMA training website at: […] http://tinyurl.com/bj4sj

Apparently, they’ve offered Saturday ICS200 training in September and October with not enough takers to hold the class. Help us fill this class with hams so that they will offer more training classes on weekends!

Members of the Falmouth Amateur Radio Association provided communications for the 28th Annual Cape Cod Marathon in Falmouth on October 30-31, 2005.

According to the FARA ham organizers, the event “came off very well, with special thanks to all who participated.” They especially credit Jan Carman, K5MA, of West Falmouth, who was “up on his tower in the cold and rain on Saturday mounting antennas for an APRS digipeater to be used during the race.”

Sponsored by the Falmouth Track Club, the Cape Cod Marathon has been dubbed “one of the ten most scenic marathons” in America. It attracts upwards of 2,000 runners of all ages and abilities from the U.S., Canada, and five foreign countries.

Gordy Bello, K1GB writes on FraminghamARA-L:

At a VE session held (on 10/29) at the shack, four people passed their Extra Class exams, due in large part to Ed’s W1NXC Extra “Crash” Course. [See Framingham ARA Extra Class, October 2005.] They are: Rick Groleau W1GRO, Kile James WB2PID, Ralph Devlin N1LAH, and Dave Marino KE1DJ. Congrats to all!

Ed is also planning to hold his highly acclaimed “License in a Weekend” on March 17, 18 and 19. If you know of anyone interested in getting their Technician ticket, please let them know.
