FAMILY RADIO SERVICE

Are you an ex-HAM, or CB or Family radio services operator? Were you attracted to using radio communications like walkie talkies or two cups and a string when growing up? If so, this training is for you.

People who would like to become a spontaneous Family Radio Services communications volunteer during an emergency in Leisure World or just want to brush up on family radio services communication for family contact are invited to attend a Family Radio Services training provided by Marty Williams.

The training is scheduled for Tuesday, July 11, from 10-11 a.m. in the Learning Center of Clubhouse 3. There are approximately one dozen radios that students can use for this training for those who don’t have their own radios.

The training will cover the following topics:

• Basic functions for radio usage.

• Leisure World call-in communications protocol.

• Battery care and maintenance.

• Do’s and don’ts of radio communications.

• Outdoor practice.

There is limited seating, so it’s first come, first served.

A second Family Radio Services training will be offered on Oct. 4 from 11 a.m.-noon in the same location.
