I gave a presentation to the Queen City Emergency Net on October 18, 2013. This was an update of the presentation I gave to Oh-Ky-In last August, which is an update of the Cincinnati FM Club presentation in February, which was an update of the presentation I gave to the Milford Amateur Radio Club a while back. This page is a set of links for those that attended or missed the presentation.
