Tools for...
Emergency or Backup Power!
Energy Independence!
Portable Energy!

With Emergency Power for Radio Communications, you will explore the various means of electric power generation—from charging batteries, to keeping the lights on. This book covers the foundation of any communications installation--the power source. Use this book to plan ways to stay on the air when weather or other reasons cause a short-term or long-term power outage. Find ways to reach beyond the commercial power grid. Identify methods for alternative power generation that will work best in your particular situation, perhaps taking advantage of possibilities already on hand.

Contents

Also includes selected emergency power projects and information from the pages of QST.

The current ARRL flag was adopted in 1980 based on a design by Ralph Holberg, N4RX. There are 15 horizontal stripes, red and white, and one vertical red stripe at the hoist, all suggesting the stripes of the US and Canadian flags. The horizontal red stripes spell “QST” in Morse code, a “dah” stripe being three times as wide as a “dit” stripe.

This course is designed to give hams a quick course in public relations activities. It uses the skills of experts in various aspects of public relations to provide volunteer Public Information Officers with the basic skills and expectations that a PIO needs to know. PR-101 covers everything from the basic news release to Web sites and video work.

The PR101 course is conveniently set-up for you to complete it on your own schedule. Upon completion it guides you to the Web for the final exam. Participants who successfully complete the exam will be directed to a special area where they can create, print and save a certificate of completion.

Amateur Radio station W6RO has enjoyed over 29 years of continuous operation aboard the Queen Mary. Nearly 100 radio amateurs volunteer every month to operate from the station. Since radio was reintroduced to the ship, W6RO has presented a positive image of the Amateur Radio Service to more than four million visitors.

Permanently docked at the Port of Long Beach, the Queen Mary is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Southern California. W6RO is a regular stop for visitors on the self-guided tour, and visiting radio amateurs may log in and get on the air. The former passenger liner is on the National Register of Historic Places.
