• Core skills training – Taking Winlink Portable Into the Field

Presented by Team 0:

Michael / AE7GQ

Overview:

When you are not at a fixed station (home or a served agency), are you prepared to operate Winlink from a temporary location?  For example, could you use Winlink with a laptop, a small TNC, and your handheld radio?  This presentation will give you some practical tips for setting up a portable Winlink station.

• Advanced skills topic – Communications Impacts of Human-Caused Incidents

Presented by our guest:

Bruce Richter, Region 10 Coordinator, Emergency Communications Division, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Overview:

Communications emergencies aren't always caused by natural disasters, sometimes people are involved.  After an overview of CISA's Role in Emergency Communications, the remainder of this presentation will be a briefing on communications impacts of recent human-caused incidents, including cyber disruptions, and what temporary communications assistance was deployed.
