KC0QLU meets with Staff at HCCH

KC0QLU met with hospital staff, and 2 prospective hams at the Harrison County Community Hospital in Bethany, MO Saturday Nov. 12th 2011. In attendace were: KC0QLU Trevor, WK0Q Allen, KD0ISZ Alicia, KD0ITK Marcene, Chris, and Melissa. Topics were narrowbanding, repeater use, antenna needs for the hospital, and starting a simplex net in the area. The group has been meeting monthly for a while now and hopes to expand the number of operators in that area. They are looking to have a ham class after the first of the year and have asked the NWMO ARES Group to provide that training. The NWMO ARES Group assisted the hospital with the installation of a ham station for emergency communications in 2010 and are hoping to expand in the area.
