Instructors:
Jack Tiley, AD7FO
Steve Aberle, WA7PTM
Description (for publication):
Amateur Radio is an exciting hobby allowing private citizens the opportunity to
communicate over radio frequencies both locally and around the world. Having an
amateur radio license and station is another part of being prepared for emergencies and
disasters. Has your tribe begun to establish its own cadre of amateur radio operators to
help when normal communications are overloaded or fail? This class is a fantastic
opportunity to gain your license at the NTEMC conference!
In May 2011, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate said “we get so sophisticated and we
have gotten so used to the reliability and resilience in our wireless and wired and our
broadcast industry and all of our public safety communications that we can never
fathom that they’ll fail. They do. They have. They will. I think a strong Amateur Radio
community [needs to be] plugged into these plans.” This class will give you an overview
of Amateur Radio and teach you everything you will need to know to pass the test for
your Technician license. The class syllabus, which will be reviewed extensively in class,
contains answers and explanations for all questions in the license examination question
pool. The material will be taught in an easy-to-understand way by experienced amateur
radio volunteers, so it should not be difficult for you to understand and pass the exam.
To ensure you understand the material, there will beadequate time for your questions.
But, you do have to study.
Logistics:
Class hours are 8:30am to Noon and 1pm to 5pm on Monday plus 8:30am to Noon on
Tuesday. There are no prerequisites for this class, except a willingness to learn, and
prior electronics experience is not necessary. There are no minimum or maximum age
limits for the class as long as one can follow the material.
This is a free class. The Technician Class examination question pool will change on 1
July 2014, and the syllabus for this class will be based on the new 2014-2018
questions. A printed copy of the syllabus will be available at the beginning of the class,
and participants who wish to study before the class (highly recommended) can obtain
an electronic copy at http://radio.aberle.net/AD7FO-guide,Technician,2014- 2018.pdf.
A license examination session will take place at 2pm on Tuesday. The fee to take the
examination (pass or fail) is $15. Examination re-takes are available, and are an
additional $15.
2014 1st Annual National Join Tribal Emergency Management Conference
Disaster Communications via Amateur Radio
Speaker:
Steve Aberle, WA7PTM, ARES Official Emergency Station
Description (for publication):
Have you included amateur (ham) radio in your tribal Emergency Operations Plan?
Amateur radio emergency/disaster communications has been formally organized in the
United States since 1935. This seminar will review examples of how amateur radio has
helped emergency managers in the past and give ideas on how these volunteer
communicators might assist tribes during emergencies/disasters in the future.
Building Your Amateur Radio Station
Speaker:
Steve Aberle, WA7PTM, ARES Official Emergency Station
Description (for publication):
Amateur (ham) radios, both new and used, are plentiful. What does it take to put
together an effective radio station, either as an individual or as a tribal emergency
and/or club radio station? The seminar will review the equipment needed for various
types of stations, and present some ideas on how to conserve money.
Amateur Radio Digital Data Communications
Speaker:
Steve Aberle, WA7PTM, ARES Official Emergency Station
Description (for publication):
When the public thinks about amateur (ham) radio, the ability to talk by voice to stations
around the world often comes to mind. From Morse Code (the original digital data
mode) to the latest developments in ad hoc mesh networks and quadrature amplitude
modulation, the amateur radio community has been experimenting at the leading edge
of the scientific curve since radio was invented. Join us for this seminar and learn what
digital data communications via amateur radio can do for your tribal EOC.
