Please feel free to join us for our monthly ARES/RACES Training Meeting on the second Tuesday each month at 7:30pm. Our meetings are currently located at the Amarillo Emergency Services Building at 1900 Line Avenue in Amarillo, TX. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Click here for a map of the building location.
Additionally, we encourage all amateur radio operators to participate in the ARES Net on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm on the Caprock Intertie linked repeater system. The purpose of this net is to provide communications during emergencies and to provide training in procedures that would apply in actual emergencies and test communications capabilities of the Caprock Intertie system.
If you ordered an ARES reflective vest, please remember to bring payment to the next meeting.

It was a real pleasure seeing everyone at the ARES meeting tonight. I hope to get fully active in the amateur radio related meetings and such. Have a safe night everyone.

Hey, y’all, had a great time and learned a lot last night. Great to meet you all! I found out a few things on the NATIONAL REGISTRY OF CERTIFIED EMCOMM VOLUNTEERS site after we got home, about the ECOMM training–Thought I’d leave a link here so that maybe we could open a discussion about this training…

Hey, I did some research, and the link I provided above is listed on the Homeland Security’s First Responder Website, which also has many other training links for those who may be interested.
The fee for the NRCEV training is $25 per person, or $45 per team.

The meeting on Tuesday March 9th 2010 will be a short meeting for the purpose of voting on a proposal to disolve PRCAR as a separate entity and merge with PARC creating an ARES committee. The meeting will be followed by SKYWARN certification training that will last approximately 2 hours.
