Red River Valley Amateur Radio Club
Amateur Radio in and around the Red River Valley Area of Northeast Texas
All,
In addition to the RRVARC, Kathy and I are members of the Fannin County ARC. Last year they had a thread that I made note of, reference required training to be able to operate with the Fannin County Office of Emergency Management and/or at their EOC. I think their process is identical or nearly identical to what we have been told you need to do for Lamar County and likely for any other Office of Emergency Management. I captured the steps and links below. It was stated that all of this could be done in one evening, but I can’t confirm that. If someone wants to go do it and then post here and let us know if that is valid or not, that would be great.
