The weakest link in any tactical or disaster environment is always communication. It is the most important and the most fragile. This four hour class is going to help fix that, and is the culmination of 9 years of trial and error. I know what works and what doesn't work. More and more people are taking it upon themselves to prepare for the uncertain. Power outages, tornado's, ice storm's, civil unrest, the list of natural and man made disasters goes on and on. The fact is, as an individual you are weak but as part of a group you are much stronger.
The four hours will be a combination of lecture and hands on training.
SOME TOPICS COVERED:
Evaluating your group
Hands on training with your new Baofeng.
Gathering intel, using a mix of old and new methods and why this is so important.
Six methods of outbound communications and how/when to use them.
Basic understanding of radio communications. (This is not a full fledged ham radio class).
Legalities of using ham radios and scanners.
Lists and hotlinks for recommended gear, and programs you will need.
Power and backup power for your gear.
A plug and play emergency communications system for your neighborhood. (your future group may be next door)
Step by step instruction for you to get the rest of your group up to speed, with an action plan.
About the Instructor:
Jeff Lewis started working on group communications in 2008 as he saw a need to improve the communications within his own preparedness group. Since then he has spent much time testing, radios, antenna's, applications, and procedures. Jeff is an eternal student, and the communications field changes rapidly. His way of giving back to the community is to pass on what he has learned to as many people as he can.
Cost is $150 plus $30 for a provided pre-programmed radio or you may bring your own baofeng UV-5R
Registration are at Mastiff Protection Services
