FREE HAM Radio Class at BYU!

<a href="/images/uploads/2011/10/KG-UV3D2_lrg.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4005" title="KG-UV3D2_lrg" src="/images/uploads/2011/10/KG-UV3D2_lrg-281x300.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="300" /></a>Having a HAM radio is essential to communicate in any kind of a disaster scenario!  But, having one and not being able to legally practice because you aren't licensed is pretty useless because you'll have no idea how to use it.  If you haven't got your license yet, it's time to get off the couch and get going!  It's very easy to pass the test, if you pay attention in the class you're pretty much guaranteed to pass.  With the class being free, all you've got to do is go spend a morning at BYU to get it.  The license itself is $14.00 and you'll still have to pay that.

Learn To Use The Forum

The UtahPreppers site is our attempt to help make our personal experiences in preparedness a little easier for people to learn from.  Some people like going beyond this simple site to intertact more often, and a popular tool for this is a forum.  Now instead of going out and hosting our own form, we felt it better to work with others in this matter.  Because of the nature of our state, we have been giving our support to two separate forums out there, <a href="http://ldspreppers.com">ldspreppers.com</a> and the <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.net/">APN forum</a>.  Obviously the LDS Preppers forum encourages a community with a religious focus, for our LDS readers. But also we collaborate with the rest of the American Preppers Network, and have a channel on their for <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.net/viewforum.php?f=80">Utah specific discussions</a>.
