Family Radio Training

People with former HAM, Citizens Band or Family Radio Services Operator experiences or those interested are encouraged to sign up for LW’s Family Radio Service training.

People can sign up for the training to become a Family Radio Services communications volunteer during an emergency in Leisure World or to brush up on family radio services communication for family contact. The training will be provided by Marty Williams today, March 21, from 1-3 p.m. in the Clubhouse 3 Learning Center. There will be at least 12 radios available to use during the training if students don’t have one of their own.

During the training, Williams will cover the following topics:

• Basic functions for radio usage.

• Leisure World call-in communications protocol.

• Battery care and maintenance.

• The do’s and don’ts of radio communications.

• Outdoor practice.
