Having hard copies of critical information is important to me, but when it comes to radio information, I have tended to rely too much on PDF files in the past. My thinking was that if I have a laptop up and running for digital comms, I can read them off of the computer, but that’s not always the case and there is definitely a place for hard copies.
Recently I was admiring the GhostNet printout and decided to make something similar for myself that could be easily carried and referenced in the field as well as at home. The 5x7 lamination pockets are just the right size IMO.
Below is his video which covers the procedure of assembling the guide.
The PNW-MM EMCOMMS BOOK is a PowerPoint (LibreOffice Impress) file that I made, below is the excerpt from the INSTRUCTIONS PAGE in it.
This booklet is very specific to my own needs, but I’m sharing the template so others can make their own or print out pages of mine as they wish.
My method is to print all pages, pair them back-to-back in the order I like, then slip them into a 3mil 5x7 lamination pouch and punch with a 6-ring hole puncher to store in a “Rite in the Rain” No. 9200T 1/2" RING BINDER.

DRYADS / TRIGRAMS
You can create your own unique TRIGRAMS & DRYADS to put into these slides by using the COMMS_HELPER spreadsheet on the website or use the default ones included, it’s not as secure as an OTP and its main purpose is to shorten voice transmission lengths.
SUGGESTIONS
If you have suggestions or slides you think I might be interested in adding, please send them to me at: pnwminuteman@pm.me Thanks!
I will be adding to and adjusting the file as time goes on and will represent changes with a version update on the file name itself with a change log below the download.
The most up-to-date version will always be on this post.
