11 June: Introduction to Emergency Comms & AREC

We met at The Collective Community Hub, 1/33 Johnsonville Road, from 1pm – 3pm on 11 June 2023, for an introductory session on emergency communications (under AREC).

This event provided new and older members with an interest in emergency communications with the required introduction to passing emergency traffic for AREC or Civil Defence events.   

There was no requirement to sign up with AREC, but this event was ddesigned to provide an overview of AREC activities and provide encouragement for amateur operators to join AREC. Tea, coffee and biscuits concluded the meeting.
