ARLA/CLUSTER: IARU Região 2 promove "Workshops" virtuais em inglês e espanhol

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

IARU Region 2's Virtual Workshops are now underway

On Wednesday, April 29th, IARU Region 2 presented the first of its program
of Virtual Workshops in English and Spanish with “What is WinLink and its
importance during Emergency Communications" (in Spanish)

The workshop presenter was Alfonso Tamez, XE2O of the FEDERACION MEXICANA
DE RADIOEXPERIMENTADORES. He gave an insightful view into the usefulness
and application of WinLink during emergencies, based on his past and ample
experience, offering  participants an understanding of the importance of
having such a tool available during an emergency.

Workshop  attendance was far larger than expected with participants from at
least 18 countries including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia,
Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia,
México, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, United States, Uruguay and
Venezuela. The total number of attendees exceeded 180!

The formal presentation was followed by a Question-and-Answer session with
participants able to ask questions using both the Zoom platform as well as
through the IARU Region 2’s YouTube Workshops channel. The initial
estimated time of 90 minutes was extended beyond two hours to accommodate
the high level of interest.

The use of Zoom together with the simultaneous broadcast via IARU Region
2's Workshops YouTube channel
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnG2Srz0bsKmTbF2r3YNneQ

enabled expansion of the number of participants from the 100 users Zoom
platform maximum, as the YouTube channel is unlimited. The only difference
is that questions made on the YouTube channel chat are forwarded to the
instructor via the moderator.

At the end of the workshop, participants expressed their satisfaction as
well as their desire to continue with more workshops as soon as possible.
All future workshops will be announced as soon as they become available on
IARU Region 2’s website (www.iaru-r2.org/en) where you will also find a
registration sign-up form. Please keep in mind that due to the high volume
of requests, signing up for workshops can only be done online and not by
email.

presenter or instructor, please send an email message to
