The COVID-19 pandemic has of course kept us mostly at home and away from people for over a year now. But with wide-spread vaccinations, the grip of the pandemic is starting to loosen. Case in point: last night, Colorado ARES R1D6 was able to meet in-person for the first time since February 2020!

We worked on initiating ARRL ARES Task Books. Most members of the unit have the training to complete Level 1 of the task book without effort, so we worked on some Level 2 skills like front-panel programming a radio, and taking a field report on an ICS-213 with sufficient detail. It was a lot of fun to see folks in-person again!
