Hey Team,
Short notice, but this is a good class, and vital for emergency
communicators.  Please try to attend, if possible.  Last chance to take
the class, and then get reimbursed if you pass the test!  This one is
expensive, so I recommend taking it this time around.
Would love to hear you all on the CERT Net, Wednesday nights at 8:00
p.m. on the 147.105, too!
73 to all,
Jodi
 
Life is short, so what are you waiting for?!

Amateur Radio Emergency Communications Course Announcement

Hillsborough County ARES/RACES, in cooperation with Hillsborough

The only prerequisite for this Level I course is holding any level of
amateur radio license.

This course will be held on two Saturdays - the 20th of March and the
3rd of April 2010, at the Museum of Science and Industry, located at
4801 East Fowler Avenue, Tampa, FL 33617. Class will start at on both
days at 9AM and continue until 5PM. On the 3rd of April, testing will
begin at 3:30PM.

Course topics included in the Level I course are Introduction to
Emergency Communications, Emergency Communication Organizations and

The instructors for this class have been drawn from Hillsborough

to provide backup and auxiliary support for Emergency Management.

The registration fee for this Level I Amateur Radio Emergency
Communications Course (ARECC) is $45 per student for ARRL members and
$75 per student for non-ARRL members, cash (preferred) or check. These

successfully pass their ARECC Level I examination on the second day of
class (April 3rd).

The textbook for this course will be distributed to students at class
time and is included in the course registration fees listed above.

There is an optional class activity, to be held on the 27th of March.
The Multiple Sclerosis Society is holding their annual MS Walk, and
Hillsborough County ARES/RACES will help provide emergency
communications during the event.  Details will be distributed during
the first class date.

Additional information about this course is available on-line at

properly prepare materials and gauge class sizes, please send an email
