9th Annual Communications Academy
If you are already serving as an emergency communications volunteer, you know how valuable Comm Academy is for training, and for meeting the people you will operate with in a disaster. If you aren't already working in EmComm, this event is a great place to get started. And if you are a new ham, the technical sessions alone will get you jump-started and help you have more fun on the air. This year's Academy has four concurrent session tracks, totalling 36 hours of presentations. Topics cover disaster preparedness, field radio communications, emergency communications antennas, pandemic flu, disaster recovery, recruiting, training, and national level emergency communications management and planning. Technical topics include digital communictions like Airmail and APRS, generators, and antennas. Saturday will include static displays of comm vans and emergency support vehicles from agencies and volunteer groups throughout the Pacific Northwest. Saturday's keynote speaker is John Cline W5USN, who has over 40 years of experience in antiterrorism, emergency planning, and response and recovery operations with the US Navy, US Forest Service, and as director of the Idaho Bureau of Disaster Services. Sunday's keynote speaker is ARRL Chief Operating Officer Harold Kramer WJ1B, speaking on future directions for ARRL in EmComm and public service. Registration cost is $18 for the weekend, if you register by Thursday, March 15, $24 if you register by March 30, and $28 if you walk in and register at the door. Lunch is available for $6.50 a day ($7.50 after March 15) at the Seattle Pacific University Food Court. The total cost for the weekend is $31, meals included, if you preregister this week.
