OK, you're not one for getting out, but you want to help your neighbors. You may not even have a ham radio. That's fine! Thanks to AMRRON's Channel 3 Project (amrron.com/communications-resources/ch3-project/) you can be a vital part of the safety and security of your neighborhood! Most Friday evenings (esp. 1st & 3rd), at 7PM, there is a local AMRRON net in 146.420. . . . So join us! During that session, local ham operators will attempt to contact non-hams via CB or "walkie talkies" (FRS, GMRS) on channel 3. Local conditions and alerts can then be relayed throughout the region. If you contact us (HooDooRadio@earthlink.net ), we'll know to contact you!
Others like to get more active with socials, CERT Training, etc. They'll still participate in the Channel 3 nets, but also meet in person. Locally, some participants get to know each other through various preparedness groups such as www.inwPrep.com . Bonner, Kootenai, Boundary and even WA-MT folks come together for free workshops and classes throughout the month, or socially, usually on the second Saturday of the month (see website). As always, there is no requirement to be a licensed ham operator. CB, FRS, GMRS radios all work, and we'll help you get set up, even programming your radios!
