Ham Radio Operators Discuss Disaster Preparedness at Peace River Presbytery.

 A group of ham operators met at the Presbytery with Gayle Morris and Dick Cunningham to discuss how ham radio communications could be used within the Presbytery in the event of disasters, such as a hurricanes, floods, fires, etc.  Ron Wetjen, a ham from the Sarasota EOC, demonstrated an emergency radio “jump kit” that can be easily deployed to a disaster area and quickly set up to provide communications.  The group discussed possible uses for this type of a kit for church use as well as various other technical solutions that might be doable with limited resources.  The group agreed to continue efforts to identify licensed ham operators within the Presbytery’s 38 churches, draft a plan for the use of ham communications, and review our progress at a subsequent meeting.
