I have conducted various training programs in
Amateur Radio in all over India. If any one interested, please
contact me by e-mail or over telephone. I can organize the same.
Demonstrations:
I have conducted
demonstrations at various places in India and last couple of
years I am conducting at North India only. If any one
interested in anywhere in India, I can organize the
Demonstration.
What Is Races:
The Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service (RACES) is part of
NIAR's public service activities that provides a reserve
communications group in times of extraordinary need. During
periods of activation, RACES personnel are called upon to
perform many tasks for the government agencies they serve.
RACES provide a pool of emergency communications personnel and
maintain the list of Hams & members of NIAR across the country
and prepare themselves for the inevitable day when they will be
called upon.
Traditional RACES operations involve emergency message handling
on Amateur Radio Service frequencies. These operations typically
involve messages between critical locations such as Mandal
offices, hospitals, Cyclone/Flood shelters, and any other
locations where communication is needed to the District or State
headquarters.
Whatever need arises, trained RACES personnel are ready and
prepared to help, develop and maintain their communications
ability during emergencies and public-service events. When that
fateful day occurs, RACES will be there to meet the challenge.
Volunteers in action
The greatest asset any organisation working for emergencies is a
dedicated group of volunteers. They often accomplish miracles
that paid staff will not achieve because they are motivated by a
totally different perspective. (This is not to criticize paid
staff, but to point out a distinction.)
It happens in NGOs & Voluntary agencies where there is a
leadership with the requisite sense of purpose, and who
understands its relationship to the volunteers. That, in turn,
leads to committed and active involvement from the volunteers.
In other words, if you are going to use volunteers you need to
know the listed these aspects:
1. Active involvement with a purpose
2. That the purpose makes sense
3. Both involvement and purpose must relate to the mission of
the unit and the agency
It has been said that involvement that finds out the skills and
talents of each participant and puts them to tasks they can
manage--tasks that interest them, and for which they have the
skills, even if they themselves do not yet recognize they
possess those very skills/talents.
While there is no doubt that it is necessary for Amateur radio
to integrate newer technologies into all of its public service
activities in order to remain viable, the most valuable asset we
have remains that of the trained operator.
