[Harc] FW: RESEND - Ham Radio Technician License Class Begins March 8, 2021

[Don Campbell]

I received this from Heather Shelton, Lifestyle Writer for the Times –Standard, in response to the Tech Class flyer I sent out, and invite your input.  I will compile your contributions and respond to her – please note the short timeline.  Please address any or all of the 6 questions as you see fit.  Photos have been difficult to come by over the last year but I think that something from 2019 field Day would be nice.  Thanks for your help.  73

Hi Don:  Would you be able to answer a couple of additional questions so I can put together a longer article about the training, HARC and ham radio operators? Thank you for your time. I hope to get these answers by Wednesday morning, if possible. -- Heather Shelton

 

1) Tell me about the importance of ham radio operators in times of emergency.

2) What other ways do folks use their ham radio skills? 

3) Is it difficult to set up amateur radio systems?

4) Is ham radio something people of any age can participate in?

5) Tell me a little about HARC and what club members do?

6) How did you get involved with ham radio?

 

Thanks so much. I am wondering if you might have a photo of you or other members with their ham radio set-ups or of club members participating in trainings. The photo would need to be high-resolution and JPG. Thanks for your time.
