We will have Scott Read KM6RFB presenting on “Voice Radio Procedures”. At the core of it, its purpose is to provide a standardized way of passing speech and data traffic as securely as possible consistent with accuracy, speed and the needs of command and control. But to get the points across, Scott will be enlisting the help of others to demonstrate the stuff that goes right, and wrong, when we communicate. How many of these malpractices do you recognize?
If you join us in person, please remember to bring a non-perishable food item for the greater Auburn community.
