ALL AMATEURS U.S. (@ USA: INFORMATION)

RACESBUL.223 DATE: May 25, 1992
CATEGORY: MGT
SUBJECT: Skill categories for communications volunteers
First comes the management category: that of your Radio
Officer, the assistant Radio Officers, shift supervisors, and
administrative people of any level or skill.
Then there is the technical group, such as installers,
maintenance, engineers, consultants, technicians, who range from
advice to hands-on work.
Most importantly, there is the operations group: those who
actually operate the equipment. Not all operators operate all
equipment. Some have highly specialized skills. Operating VHF
and HF radios are quite different and utilize varying skills and
experience. An excellent VHF Net Control Operator may not grasp
the subtle, but critical, nuances of HF nets. A digital
communications operator may have little or no voice operations
experience. Obviously, not all volunteers can do the same thing,
nor should they. The "cookie cutter syndrome" has killed more
than one organization, so don't let it do that to you. Recognize
and utilize the unique interests and talents of the volunteers.
Don't expect all of them to possess the same skills or the same
interests. That's why it is important to staff the three major
levels: management, technical and operations.
