Jack Tiley, AD7FO of the Eastern Washington Section has developed a new Power Point instructional aid for “The ARRL Introduction to Emergency Communication Course, 4^th edition, copyright 2011(approx. 650 Power Point Slides).  This and other presentations are available from Jack to anyone for use directly or as a foundation for their own instruction.

The predecessor, Emergency Communications Level 1 course has been used by many to teach Emergency Communications basics in the US and Europe. The current Emergency Communication Course, 4^th edition presentation is complete and undergoing final editing but has already been used by a few folks as a basis for their training. Jack is planning to teach the revision 4^th edition course to the Spokane County ARES/RACES team in spring or summer of 2012. Feel free to utilize this presentation for your own organization. A CD of the materials can be requested from the ARRL Education Services Dept. Send an email to cep@arrl.org with your request, or you may contact Jack Tiley, AD7FO at ad7fo@arrl.net directly. When using these materials please remember to include the ARRL registered trademark statements in the introduction. If you modify the presentations include a note that the material has been modified. The materials are available in Power Point (so you can easily customize them for your needs) or in PDF format. In addition to the EMCOMM Training Jack Tiley, AD7FO, has authored a number of additional training presentations that are available (most in Power Point) covering operating modes, Technical subjects, RFI, and others. Contact the author if you want copies mailed to you on a CD ROM (the files are too big to be emailed) at ad7fo@arrl.net.
