From our friendly Inter Mountain Alliance folk:
From Christine Maedke, Gold Hill Town Treasurer: Are you concerned about losing internet/cell/landline communications in an emergency? Are you wishing you had a way to call home if you’re stuck on a mountain road or on a trail? Then, have you considered getting licensed as a HAM radio operator? You don’t have to go without a way to communicate. On Saturday/Sunday, November 4th & 5th, the Gold Hill School will be hosting a HAM radio licensing class. George Weber, a board member for BCARES and a long-time HAM instructor will be teaching this course, free of charge. This is a two-day course and a final exam will need to be passed in order to obtain licensing with the FEC. You do not need to own a radio to take the course. Once you’re licensed for radio use, there may be options to help you obtain a used radio. There is also a network of individuals across the Boulder mountain area to help you practice and get comfortable using your radio.
