>
> San Diego Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) will conduct another FREE
> monthly workshop to help participants "Get On The Air." Everyone is welcome
> regardless of club or organization affiliation!
>
> This two-hour workshop is intended for anyone getting started (or
> struggling) with a handheld "HT" radio. If you attended in the past, you
> are welcome to return for another workshop to hone your skills. If you have
> an earlier edition of the free workbook, please bring it with you to this
> workshop.
>
> The workshop starts with basics such as how to turn on the radio and then
> progresses to operating in simplex and repeater mode. This is a hands-on
> workshop in small groups led by Elmers (instructors), not a lecture.
> Participants receive a free workbook to guide their progress.
>
> What to bring:
>
> 1. A handheld radio, if you have one or can borrow one. Elmers will have a
> few loaners available. We recommend a 2m/70cm (VHF/UHF) handheld
> transceiver (HT).
>
> 2. The operating manual for your radio. Please bring the entire manual -
> either paper copy or on a tablet.
>
> 3. A pen, and a few paper clips or stickies to tab pages in your operating
> manual during the workshop.
>
> 4.* If your HT is the Baofeng UV-5R,* please visit the web site
> www.miklor.com, print, and then bring to class copies of the documents: "On
> the Fly Keyboard Programming," "Keypad Layout and Functions," and
> "Reference and FAQ Page." These documents are much better than the manual
> that comes with the radio.
>
> This workshop follows the regularly-scheduled ARES meeting.
>
> If you plan to attend the workshop, please RSVP to k6rj...@gmail.com so
> we know how many study guides to produce, or if you have a specific
> interest or question. When you RSVP, please tell us which radio you will
> bring, and please include your call sign (if you have a call sign).
>
> Thank you.
