Communications Academy 2002 is a two-day training conference for volunteer communicators. Although most of the attendees will be amateur radio operators, it is not necessary to an amateur radio operator to attend.

This is the fourth annual Academy. The Academy will be held again at the NOAA Western Regional Center in Seattle, WA at 7600 Sand Point Way NE.

Topics for this year's conference include

  • Emergency management
  • Technical communication subjects
  • Lessons learned from various disaster events
  • Terrorism in the Wake of 9/11
  • Bioterrorism: What You Really Didn't Want to Know
  • Radio Direction Finding - finding and mitigating malicious and incidental RFI
  • Practical Do's and Don'ts for Communications Responders
  • Marine Safety and Response
  • Practical Navigation with Map & G.P.S.
  • ATV -- Practical Applications
There will also be a review of the Emergency Communications - Level 1 course, with a test on the last day.

Past keynote speakers have been Ross Merlin, WA2WDT, from US Public Health Service - Telecommunications, and Jerry Wellman, W7SAR, from World Radio Magazine. Online Registration will be available here, www.academy2002.org about mid-February 2002.

Pre-registration will be required this year because of increased security at this NOAA federal facility.

There is no fee for the conference. However, we will request a $5.00 donation to help pay the expense of the keynote speaker.
