We’ll talk about ways to make that happen.Led by ARES Section Net Manager Tom Lundberg KB1YAI. C2 Message Forms Part of our job in ARES is to move formal written messages on one of several standard forms. This course will look at how to properly fill out and send the ARRL Radiogram and the emergency management ICS213. Your instructor, as always is Pete Stohrer K1PJS, our Section Manager and long time traffic handler. C3 Go Kits Back by popular demand, this course looks at what you should keep in a kit,ready to go at a moment’s notice. Jim Heedles, WW1Y, charter member of the former NH-ARES RED Team and professional spaceflight systems engineer will be the instructor. C4 Boston Marathon – Lessons Learned Rob Macedo KD1CY, SEC for Eastern Massachusetts, will describe what happened in the immediate aftermath of the bombing attack and Amateur Radio’s role, as well as what we can apply to other events in the face of a similar disaster. C5 HF Basics for Emcomm If you’re new to HF operating, this course will help you get started, with aslant on emergency communications. It will cover radios, feed lines, tuners,antennas, NVIS, grounding, propagation, and more. Veteran professional broadcast engineer and ham Peter Stohrer K1PJS will be the instructor. C6 NH-ARES Concept of Operations (CONOPS) Concept of Operations (CONOPS) is a method of describing the framework that allows an organization to meet a particular challenge or goal. In this case,we’ll give the “big picture” on how NH-ARES does what it does – all the pieces to the puzzle in one succinct presentation. We’ll also talk about the CONOPS concept and how it can be applied in other areas. Dave Colter WA1ZCN, ASEC for Operations and Training and Vice Chair of the ARRL Emergency Communications Advisory Committee will host. C7 Introduction to the NTS & NTSD NTS is the National Traffic System. NTSD is its digital system. NTS has been around in one form or another for almost 100 years, and is the system by which formal written messages can (at least in theory) be delivered to anyone anywhere in the US or Canada within24 hours by Amateur Radio. During disasters, it’s been used to move large volumes of welfare messages, although in the last decade improvements in communications infrastructure have cut its role dramatically. Instructor Joe Burke W1INC, NH Section Traffic Manager, will be joined by NTS Eastern Area Chair Marsha Forde KW1U. C8 Working With Served Agencies This popular course helps leaders and members alike learn what served agencies expect of us, and how to work seamlessly in their world. Presented by former Section Manager and SEC Al Shuman K1AKS, and Justin Kates KB3JUV, Nashua Emergency Management Director. W1 Comm Trailers and Mega Kits New this year – How to design and build a variety of low-cost (and not so low cost!) emcomm trailers and serious go kits. Several trailers will be on display outside the classroom. Inventor Alan Bradford, AE1H will be your guide. W2 Psychological First Aid Surprisingly relevant and interesting, we got great reviews on this course last year. The only complaint – 50 minutes was far too short. So this year, we gave it a double block. Presented again by NH Department of Health and Human Services psychologist Mark Lindberg PhD. W3 Getting Started with RMS Express RMS Express is a software program used primarily with the Winlink 2000 radio email system. However, it does extraordinarily well at sending messages from peer to peer, with attachments. If you have a sound card interface setup,getting started with RMS Express is a breeze, and this course will help you get there. Presented by veteran MARS operator Paul Moore, N1VUI/AAM1EEN. W4 Skywarn Refresher Even experienced weather spotters need a refresher once in a while. It’s also great for those who just want to know a bit more about severe weather reporting. NWS-Gray meteorologists will lead this session. Directions to the NH State Fire Academy From I-93 Take I-93 exit 13 for Manchester Street.
