More and more people are taking it upon themselves to prepare for the uncertain.  Power outages, tornado's, ice storm's, civil unrest, the list goes on and on.  The fact is, as an individual you are weak.  As group you are much stronger.  The weakest link in most groups is their communications.  This four hour class is going to fix that, and  is the culmination of 5 years of trial and error.  Mastiff knows what works and what doesn't work.   These four hours will be a combination of lecture and hands on training with a pre-programmed ham radio you get to keep. 

Briefly we will cover:

• Evaluating your group

• A plug and play emergency communications system  for your neighborhood.  (your future group may be next door)

• Gathering intel, using a mix of old and new methods and why this is so important.  

• Six methods of outbound communications and how/when to use them.

• Basic understanding of radio communications.  (This is NOT a ham radio class).

• Lists and hotlinks for GTG gear, and programs you will need.

• Practical application and testing

• Hands on training with your new Baofeng UV-5R
