Subject: [CALV-AUXCOMM] Nat'l Night Out
Message-ID: <CAKHsO=2tPYk6MiTVqSmvYDsWWiPz_heQrnSJzb_41sMu2=3rrw@mail.gmail.com>

Hey folks... Hope everyone has recovered from Field Day and staying indoors
where it's cool.

With Field Day behind us, the next "event" to think about is National Night
Out on Tuesday August 4th. The past couple of years, we've set up at
Broome's Island Community Center in an effort to help promote and show
appreciation for our public safety folks and we've been given the OK to do
it again this year.

I've attached a list of other Nat'l Night Out events in the county with the
idea of seeing if we can have a presence at some of the others. Right now,
Nigel, G0JKN, will be leading the charge at Broome's Island and Dave,
W3PQS, has expressed an interest in setting up at the Chesapeake Beach and
could use another set or two of hands to assist. Would be nice to have
another location or two. I'm gonna look into the Huntingtown location.

VP Erik, KC3QQD, has run a special Talk-Around-Tuesday from Broome's Island
the last couple years on 146.580 simplex using the RACES crossband repeat
radio and is up for it again this year. I'm thinking we could also run a
club National Night out net of some kind on the repeater system.

We've got just over a month and planning early is key. If you'd be willing
to set up at one of these locations, the contact info is on the list or, if
you'd like to help out at one of the 3 locations already being planned, let
me know. They run from around 5pm-9pm and usually have food trucks and the
like(depending on coordination). VHF/UHF is the minimum, HF is optional.

This is another great way for people to see who we are, what we do, and why
amateur radio matters!

More at July's meeting on the 9th.

Greetings,

At the Upper Marlboro National Night out, PG ARES sets up a station at the
CERT booth. We usually get other municipalities Mayors to talk around to
give demonstrations of amateur radio. A crowd usually gathers around to
listen in.

This is a screenshot from the report at the weather monitoring site at the
Calvert Fairgrounds. There were concerns because some weather stations
manned by Auxcomm members. were unable to record the windspeed.

The time of the screenshot was about 8:22 pm, July 4.

Information only. I'm sure the state has this recorded as it's their
equivalent.

Hey folks. If you weren't on the net last night, it has been decided, since
the tape measure yagi build didn't get much traction, we're not going to do
in person this month so please don't got to the Barstow PSB on Thursday the
16th. Instead, we'll do some type of net (maybe a simulated call up based
on the hurricane plan).

Also Shawn and I would like some feedback on maybe shifting our monthly
activity from all in person to in person every other month with the non in
person months being dedicated to doing more on air activities such as
digital, NTS message handling, etc. This way folks don't have do meetings
on back to back weeks as often and we can do more of "what we would do". We
think it's possible that "meeting overload" may be playing a role in
participation so please, offer your feedback.

Shawn and I will be at the Barstow EOC on the 16th to meet with the 911
folks so any net or similar activity will be run from there. We'd like to
do something that we can incorporate voice, digital, and possibly APRS (if
folks have it on their mobile and are willing to go out). Please offer
ideas and hopefully, we can nail it down at the club meeting Thursday.

Thanks!
