So several, well really many, months ago, Shane was asked to be our ward communications specialist. What that really means is they wanted Shane to learn to operate a HAM radio. For those of you who don't know, every congregation in our church is supposed to have someone that can operate one and then if there is an emergency he can provide information about people in our neighborhood that might need help.
To me, a HAM radio is like a walkie talkie on steroids. I know it's more complicated then that and much more powerful (maybe also kind of like a CB radio) but that's how I see it.
Well in order to operate a HAM radio, you actually have to get a license and take a test. It's quite the little process to fulfill a church assignment! So Shane got down to business this last week and went and took the test. He even passed it the first time!
So now he 'gets' to participate in weekly drills with the church and Draper City. You can see how much fun he is having during his first drill this week. Let's just hope he never has to use it for a real emergency.
