Download or read book Amateur Radio Emergency Services Emcomm Companion written by Doug Abramson and published by . This book was released on 2022-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of many of the authors teaching in a live environment. Most of the content of this book is centered around Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) in Emergency Communications (EmComm) environments. ARES is a volunteer organization training in providing emergency communication for private and governmental institutes that are need of communications support.The focus of this book is to provide the basic information needed for the Amateur Radio Emergency Services operator in order to develop the mental understanding of emergency communications and how to fit into that world. Thus the content of this book in aimed for the ARES side of radio communications. However, there is information that is applicable to the general ham radio operator. Soft skills are mostly logical thought process. Soft skills just require you to sit down, relax, and think your way through a situation, or task. Out of that thought process you should develop an outline of what needs to be done, when to do that task, and how that task is to be accomplished.Hard skills covers the some what harder skills to learn. But this does not mean that these are the last things to learn. It is my belief that learning the digital communications (Packet, WinLink, and FlDigi) as soon as possible. Digital communication is the future of radio communications. There are ARES organizations that have made WinLink as their major communications mode of operations. But in order to logically progress to these skill your station need to be assembled, you get some "air time" under your belt, you learn how to be a worker bee, develop some hidden knowledge that is developed only through "air time", develop some leadership skills, then finish with more advanced hardware for your station. Enjoy.DougKA7FOO
