Colorado Backcountry Comms Class April 9

[KeithMaine]

Rocky Mountain Overland, is a Denver-based overlanding group. On Saturday April 9, 2016 we are offering a free class on backcountry communications and static display of vehicles & equipment. We did this last year and demystified ham radio for literally dozens for offroaders. The helped people understand what the advantages of VHF & UHF ham radio are, how to select a radio and antenna, how to get licensed etc. There is also an element on APRS which is a great integration of GPS-based mapping and radio. In 2015, we had around 75 hardcore overlanders, many of whom went on to get licensed.

There is no cost to attend.
