Announcements
ARRL ARES Task Book
The ARRL ARES Task Book has replaced the TN ARES Task Book as the guiding document for ARES training. In addition to the link in this announcement, there's a link to that document on our Training/Library page. Please begin working to transfer your completed tasks from the old book into the new one. (it was recommended that we staple the pages of our TN or METERS task books that have been signed off, with the new one, so we won't need to have the same requirements signed twice, as long as the requirement in the ARRL ARES book is the same). |
TEMA classes availability
As per CDC and Knox County Health Dept recommendations, we are following the "Stay in Place" guidelines. Therefore, we will update this website with current classes as soon as the "All Clear" is given. Please check with the website first, to see if they are even available right now. There are TEMA ICS classes of all types available all the time, so for those who are working on Task Books, the link for the website is training-calendar.html, and if you don't mind driving, many are near Nashville or east of Nashville, so are within reach if we don't have a recent class locally. |
