Emcomm Operators Training Courses
have been designed for individuals that are new to amateur radio or are returning to the hobby. The intent in developing these three courses is to create training packages that other 'amateur radio trainers' might use in their clubs and organization trainings.

Whenever possible, we are providing the "source" files in MS Word, and PowerPoint that you can cutomize the files for your trainings. It is our hope that you will be able to use these Training packages to grow the pool of available emcomm operators for your group.

If you use these files for a training, we'd love to hear how your class was received.
