Howdy, all! K0JWR here--I'm going to be teaching the ARRL Emergency Communications Course in South Sioux City at the LEC from 8A-1P on four Saturdays starting on September 10th. Testing will be done at the conclusion of the class on Saturday, October 1st. Cost of the course is only $20.00 for the book and $15.00 for the required VE testing--that fee is due on the testing date. If you're interested, please email me ASAP, it's k0jwr@arrl.net. You don't need to be an emergency communicator already--just someone interested in helping out during times of need. You can't just show up to help anymore--you need to have some training on how to respond and be part of the solution during disasters! There should be hams from around the area participating--don't miss out!

I would like to thank whoever linked the club repeaters to Broadcastify. ScannerRadioPro is working nicely with it.
I really enjoyed listening to the traffic for the MS Bike ride on my way in to work this morning..... kinda bummed I didn't get to help out this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the schedule works out for me next year!
