For the Month of April 2025

We will use the ICS 213 General Message form. It will be found under Standard Templates in the ICS USA folder

 Each week I will ask a question and you will use the ICS 213 form to answer. 

DONE - Week 1 - April 2 question is. Who is your County Emergency Manage, do you have their phone number and have you met them? 

DONE - Week 2 - April 9 question. Do you have the National Call Frequency (146.520 MHz) programed in all your 2-meter radios and do you have a copy of the Wilderness Protocol?  Do you monitor the National Call Frequency when traveling and when at home?

You can get the Wilderness Protocol on the Idaho Winlink net website under the Other Ham Projects tab 

Week 3 - April 16. Look up your call sign on the FCC site and make sure the data is correct and check when you expire   https://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/searchLicense.jsp 

Next check out QRZ and I encourage you to join its free. They have a page for every call sign and you can update yours and see others. https://www.qrz.com/ 

Please report back on your findings
These are some tools for you to use in your Amateur Radio tool box
