AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HAM RADIO OPPERATORS TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY
December 9th, 2008 by hamslife
I got an email today from Sacramento Valley Section Manager of the ARRL, Ron W6JK, just one day after publishing my blurb about becoming active in the community.
The email reads as follows:
“The clubs and members of the ARRL have been asked by the FCC to aid in education efforts regarding the transition to digital television
broadcasting and information on installing converters where they are
needed. The clubs may develop and implement their own plans to serve by
providing information and help in their communities in the ways they
think best fits their situation, but are not to make ‘house calls’ or
do actual installations.
Beginning early January, FCC staff will use the volunteer contact
list information provided by the SMs to contact leaders of these
volunteering clubs and, where possible, arrange to meet at mutually
convenient times and locations for sharing information, A/V and printed
materials and training aids in this effort.
This looks like a low risk, high reward challenge for Amateur Radio.
Please consider this project for your club or as an individual effort
for the good of your community. As I get more details, I will forward
them to you. Also, please let me know as soon as you can if you want to
participate.”
This is an activity that hams should be jumping on like a duck on a June bug.

Thank you for your response. This site is specifically for those interested in Amateur Radio and anyone who is not familiar with Amateur or Ham Radio might be confused.
I noticed your site is in Russian so if you are interested in talking to people all over the world you might see if you can find a local Russian Ham Radio operator or contact your department of communications in Russia (what ever that might be called here - in the US it is the FCC- and learn about obtaining a license there.

I heard that Yaesu Mobile Radios tend to have more problems with their front displays than other radio brand. Any comments about that?
