SUMMARY:Near Vertical Incident Skywave (NVIS) 101 & 201 - Colorado ARES Section Wide Training
DESCRIPTION:NVIS is an important mode for Colorado ARES\, which can provide reliable communications in a three to five hundred mile radius without the use of repeaters.  NVIS is not an antenna\, but it is a propagation mode where antennas can be configured to optimize NVIS properties. Does that sound confusing? If so\, you need to join us via Zoom to learn more about NVIS and why it is an important communications capability for Colorado ARES. \nNVIS 101 & 201 training scheduled for Saturday\, April 18th at 09:00 MDT.  It is a two hour training event\, delivered in two sessions\, 101 followed by 201. \nMeeting details will be shared with District ECs closer to the training date.  Please contact your EC for more details.

SUMMARY:Starlink Demo & Radio Firmware/Code Plug Update Workshop

SUMMARY:DMR Hands-On Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Each Spring\, ARES R1D5 members assemble together to help each other update radio firmware and DMR code plugs in preparation for the busy schedule of events we support each year.  We share tips and techniques to improve our understanding and use of DMR.   Finally\, we work together to test our DMR radios\, code plugs and troubleshoot any issues we might find. \nWe will begin the morning at 0900 with a presentation by Jerry\, AG7U on Roaming.  Afterwards\, we will break out into separate rooms based on a limited set of radio manufacturer / models\, and with the help of top notch “Elmers” standing by\, we will upgrade code plugs\, firmware and troubleshoot any issues we are having with our DMR code plug. \nSo mark your calendar and bring your HT / mobile radio to the workshop.  Hopefully you’ll leave with a radio that is ready for the upcoming season of planned activities and possible activations. \nWe will meet in the Youth Room 144 to start and break out to other rooms based on need and attendance. \nIf you are willing to be an Elmer during one of these DMR workshops\, please reach out to Training@aresdec.org.

SUMMARY:Severe Wx NCS Training (GRLevel3)
DESCRIPTION:Aug 9th update: Delayed.  Instructor deployed to wildland fire.  More info forthcoming…\n \nWe’ve been having a very high number of Wx Net Activations and recently Activated twice on the same day! Spotters are doing a great job\, but we’re a little thin in terms of R1D5 members that can successfully run a Severe Wx Net using weather radar software (such as GRLevel3). \nJim Rooney/N4JJR is planning to conduct a small workshop next month for the next generation of R1D5 Severe Wx Net Control operators. He’ll cover all facets of Net control from Script to logging and reporting observations. The crux of the workshop is the GRLevel3 viewer for NEXRAD Level III data helps our Net Control person vector spotters to the best spotting positions while minimizing risk of spotters getting banged up in from a hail core. \nIf you are ready to Step-Up to this or desire more info\, please contact Jim N4JJR@aresdec.org \nFlyer: WxNetControlGR3TRNG
