Having your own effective communication system can be a critical tool in a medical or post-disaster situation. What would you do if your cell phone coverage was down in a natural disaster? How can you run communications with family or friends during an extended power outage?
Because you can’t talk on the radio without power, we have detailed instructions on building battery backup systems not only for the radio, but for your home so that you won’t be literally left in the dark during an emergency.
We will dive a little deeper into the world of radio and important concepts on the operation of radios and then move into how to setup a radio dispatch site to assist during an emergency.
The Introduction to HAM Radio section of this course will help to answer many common questions such as what HAM is, how it is used, and how to become licensed.
This is a 2 day on-site course with an additional remote module that will be made available to students prior to the on-site course. $125.

December 18 Gardening Essentials will meet at Pharm Table where we will learn from ceramic artist Diana Kersey about the use of ollas in the garden. Diana will also share tips on creating our own ollas using clay pots, and how to seal them so they will hold the water underground and keep water available to plant roots.
We will eat lunch at the restaurant. Please bring your own lunch. Restaurant is closed Mondays and Pharm Table is graciously providing us meeting space.

December 19, 2022, Agenda (PDF)
On Monday, board members received the future energy generation recommendation from the Rate Advisory Committee. RAC members were strongly divided on their recommendation: 13 members recommending a pathway supposed to hit our 2030 carbon-reductions target (but failing 2040 and 2050) by swapping out coal for gas; seven members voted instead for plans much stronger on renewable energy.
BACKGROUND: Read Deceleration’s report:
“CPS Energy’s Rate Committee Readies Recommendation to Swap Out Coal for Gas.”
LIVESTREAM: Catch meetings online here.
PUBLIC COMMENT: Requests to make public comments must be received the week before the meeting (ie. Wedesday to Friday). Details at the CPS Energy Public Comment FAQ page.

Every Saturday is Volunteer Day.
The Tamōx Talōm Community Food Forest is a 4-acre space located at Padre County Park, designed to provide a source of fresh local food and build resilience, environmental sustainability, wellness, and connections to our flourishing community. The goal is to turn this Southside park into an urban food forest and edible gardens, we will create a teachable example of growing our own food in public spaces for a more sustainable future. We are neighbors in the city that would like to see more food grown in public spaces. This is a great opportunity to grow food, grow relations, and grow an increasingly self-sustainable society. All are welcome. If you dig food, come join us. The more hands on deck the quicker we can grow a sustainable food forest, right alongside San Antonio’s legendary river, parks, and World Heritage Site.
