ARES/RACES
Please share this with all Amateurs in your Jurisdictions.
Whether you are already convinced about Winlink or not – a presentation by Ollie, K6OLI , about VARA FM is always a must see.
Even if you have no clue what “Winlink” is. – the hour will be well spent as a real world orientation to some of the best of what Amateur Radio can share with their local Authorities Having Jurisdiction to prevent depth and resiliency to their emergency communications.
If you can – I would also invite representatives from your AHJs & ask that they ID by their first name & Agency (or your callsign with “ /3” if they prefer) if they don’t have an Amateur callsign.
Cheers & 73,
