New RAC ARES Operations Training Manual

The recently introduced RAC ARES Operations Training Manual has met with widespread approval from the Amateur Radio community and is even being requested by Emcomm groups in other countries.

Plans are that it will be printed in a handy and portable hard copy form early in 2009.

The editor, RAC National Training Coordinator David Drinnan, VE9FK, is making further updates for inclusion in the manual.

Once published, the new training resource will be offered for sale on the RAC On-Line Store. It will continue to be available for downloading, free of charge, at http://www.rac.ca/fieldorg/RACARESTrainingManual.htm.
