Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts to promote severe weather awareness at the Customs House Museum.

As we move into Spring the question is not IF middle Tennessee will see severe weather but is instead how much and how bad.

In recent years scarcely a year has gone by where Middle Tennessee communities have not suffered damage from wind, heavy rains, lightning and tornadoes.  How to deal with severe weather is something that anyone in Middle Tennessee should know.

With this though in mind the Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts will be operating a special event station at the Customs House Museum on Saturday March 27 2010 from 10:30 to 3:30.  Amateur Radio operators will be on hand to demonstrate Amateur Radio communications and to discuss how Amateur Radio operators provide support during severe weather through initiatives such as SkyWarn and ARES. 

The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts invite all members of the community to come join us for this event.

For those interested in obtaining an Amateur Radio License testing will be offered from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm.  The cost is $15.00 to take any test and if you pass one test you can take the next at no additional cost.  There are 3 classes of Amateur Radio licenses; Technician, General and Extra.  Each test is more involved and technical than the previous test and each license class includes privileges on more frequency than the last one.  Amateur Radio Exams MUST be passed in the following order; Technician, General, Extra.

The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts look forward to seeing you on Saturday March 27.

Amateur Radio Stations will be operated in the Coca Cola Cafe and testing will be in the classroom downstairs.

Thank You
The Clarksville Operating Radio Enthusiasts
