What's in YOUR Go Kit?
Being able to respond and be deployed for a communications emergency requires the operator to have the necessary equipment at his disposal. This assemblage of gear is commonly called a "Go-Kit." This presentation discusses the basic requirements for assembling a go kit and continues with additional information on other items that can be included to further operations. Note: there is no one single solution for a go kit. Everything presented is the opinion of the author and your personal preferences may and probably will deviate from this presentation. These are merely guidelines and meant to get you thinking about what YOU might put together for a go kit.
