All,
 
The weather forecast (multiple sources) for Saturday morning is for cloudy weather with a small (less than 20%) chance of rain, so we will proceed with our NVIS Day plans.  Use your own callsign.
 
Objective:  See how well NVIS works within Calvert county as well as contacting participating Ohio NVIS stations 
 
Operating Period - 9am to noon   Setup in time to be on the air at 9am.
                               But you're welcome to operate longer to contact participating Ohio stations (up to 4pm)
 
Coordination - The 146.985 and 444.950 repeaters
 
Frequencies -   3902 LSB  and 7240 LSB     +/- 15KHz or so

               Both 3902 and 7240 are the Ohio ARES frequencies.  Please only use those frequencies for Ohio contacts.  This is their event.
 
                         We will likely start on 40M and then move to 80M
 
Exchange - For Ohio contacts only:
    * 
          o 
                + Your 6 digit Maidenhead Grid
                + County
                + Signal Report
                + Indicate if you are an EOC station, or an ARES official (ASEC, DEC, EC, AEC)
