| FEB | Monday, 6 PM - 10 PM HAM Radio Training - Technician License (Course Time: 16hrs): Join ADRN's HAM Radio team by taking the beginner's course for a HAM Radio license. Why HAM radio? In a disaster, often other modes of communication (cell phones, landlines, etc.) become overwhelmed and become unavailable. In a disaster (such as the Bastrop Fire), government agencies have the ability to devote existing communications service to Government Emergency Telecommunications Service use. That means 90% of the system is locked out from general use. HAM radio is the link that keeps ADRN teams in contact with the call center, and provides a way for victims to get word to families out of the area. The Technician Class license allows operator privileges on both VHF and UHF repeaters located throughout the Greater Austin Area. Also, morse code is no longer required to pass the exam! HAM radio is fun and can be a powerful tool for the Body of Christ to help those in need in times of disaster. Suggested donation is $60. Training location TBD. Training dates will be Feb. 6th, 8th, 13th & 15th from 6PM-10PM.
THIS CLASS IS SOLD OUT.

We have entered a new year and 2012 offers ADRN a unique opportunity to move forward in all areas and programs, including our training, and opportunities for service, and our spiritual & personal growth. We are preparing a number of organizational enhancements and increasing our training/ educational opportunities throughout the ADRN team. This is a clear priority in the area of our DISASTER PREPARATION, TRAINING AND OPERATIONS!
In this meeting, we will discuss our current vision for ADRN OPERATIONS for 2012 and beyond. We are blessed with many wonderful volunteers such as each of you, yet there is more that we can and should be doing in this area. It is clear from our experience over the past several CERT classes and through many actual disaster responses in 2010 & 2011, that we can and should do more to train together, prepare, organize, and deploy our teams. We would like to gather together and share this vision with everyone and solicit your input and ideas to make our 2012 plan better, stronger, bolder, more Spirit-centered than ever before. Dinner will be provided.
