SUMMARY:Face-to-Face: MC of Planned Events
DESCRIPTION:Have you thought about volunteering to be the Mission Coordinator for an ARESDEC planned event? Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a Mission Coordinator? In ARES\, we use Mission Coordinators for both planned events and ‘real-world’ activations. What does it take to be a Mission Coordinator? Are the demands on a Mission Coordinator different for planned events versus activation? Come to our Face-to- Face meeting to get these questions and more answered by experienced ARESDEC Mission Coordinators. \nDuring this Face-to-Face meeting\, we will do a deeper dive into the planning and execution of planned events and probably take 75-90 min. Jerry\, AG7U plans to involve our District EC and the 2024 MCs (AD0UZ\, K0WJF\, N4JJR & W6AUN) in a panel type discussion (in addition to the presentation) to include their perspective and experience. We’ll include some Field Day lessons learned. \nIt will be well worth your time to attend and walk away with all the information you need to be an MC in 2025! \nChris KF0KFA and Chris K0BOM (NCS/ANCS respectively) at the Highlands Ranch Turkey Day 5K\, (11/23/2023)\n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:February Face-to-Face: FCC RF Exposure Rules - Staying Safe & Compliant
DESCRIPTION:Our February Face-to-Face meeting will deal with a very important topic that is of interest to every licensed Ham Radio Operator! \nWe are going to talk about how to stay safe and compliant with FCC Radio Frequency Exposure rules.  How to keep your station safe and in compliance with FCC exposure and record keeping rules that apply to all licensed Amateurs. New FCC Rules have been implemented and the transition (i.e.\, grace) period ended on May 3\, 2023. The presentation focuses on the use of the ARRL on-line calculators that are one (relatively easy) means of performing an RF Exposure Safety evaluation of your fixed and mobile stations. \nWhen obtaining or renewing their FCC License\, all Amateurs have certified that they have read and will comply with FCC rules regarding RF Radiation Safety. But did you know the method of determining whether your station needs to be evaluated and the new formula-based methods of ensuring compliance?  All amateurs operating transmitters (except HTs) in the U.S. today are expected to comply and provide documentation to the FCC upon request. Can you?   What do you need to do to get into and remain in compliance? \nCOME AND FIND OUT!!\n  \n  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Face-to-Face May 25\, 2023 Field Day Planning & Go-Kit Reviews
DESCRIPTION:Field Day Planning – K6AUN\nGO-KIT SHOW & TELL. Kudos to the Seven Staff Members signed-up to bring 10 various GO-KIT items for the requested static display/Show & Tell at the May 25th F2F. Other staff are welcome to bring in cool deployment kits/things. Hopefully this will be informative\, especially to newer members\, and generate some good discussion.   (I know of one new member that will likely miss May F2F due to job travel – will try to photograph & catalog the displays for later follow-up by members who can’t be present at the May F2F.)\nWe’re planning to have the HR Substation open before 1830 at the May F2F to allow time to bring GO-KITs in and set them up\, etc.\n\n\n\n	Related
