Had a great ARES meeting tonight at the Southside Fire Station. Good turnout from Chatham and surrounding counties. Gave a summary of events since the last meeting and an overview of upcoming activities. Then we had a very nice class on Formal Message handling from Charles Pennington, K4GK. Charles is the Section Traffic Manager for the Georgia Section. We really appreciate Charles coming down from Sandersville tonight. Now we can begin practicing message handling on our local nets and exercises.
