COMMUNITY SERVICE EVENTS While amateur Radio can be a fun hobby it is also a
useful tool to serve our community. As
you can see on the list below, our club does this by providing communications
for various community parades, runs, walks, and other activities. There is a learning curve, a helping phase
and event participation. It is good
experience whether you are doing Net Control, out on the parade route or
working a race. Changing frequencies
on your radio in a hurry, working with police, helping a downed walker,
giving directions and making sure that safety is maintained along the route,
which you are working, become much easier with every event in which you
participate. We have always been active in community events and I
would like to point out a few of the criteria for working the different types
of events. 1. There
will be a coordinator for each event and he will designate where each
volunteer will be stationed and will be available to answer any questions
should any arise. 2. A
working handheld VHF radio and/or a mobile radio, if required. Always have a manual for the radio(s) you
are using. Have an extra battery(s)
for your handheld and a watch for check in times. You will be advised of the frequency and
alternate frequency that will be used for the event. 3. Correct
clothing – Rain gear, hat, sun block, warm clothing that is layered,
comfortable shoes, gloves and our club safety vest. 4. Don’t
forget a folding chair if you are going to be on a route. Always have a bottle of water and some
munchies. 5. Murphy’s
Law is always lurking so be alert and ready for any last minute changes. 6. As
members of the CCARC, we are working with many different community groups and
they depend on us to do our job in a professional manner. Don Young, N7DY CCARC Community Service Director |
