Having them bring the com van to the field day site in Broomes Island might be a great way to garner some additional interest from the local community as to who we are and what we do, as well. It would be good outreach. 

On a community related (side) note, we on the Broomes Island civic league are planning a big event for National Night Out on 1 Aug at the schoolhouse. The plan is to bring it back like before. I think it would be great to have CARA/AUXCOMM present.

I have no real sense of when the vehicle may be available.

 I recommend we discuss it as a new business item at our upcoming club meeting. 

Then, contact the Sheriff.

Ed what a great idea! Thanks for taking the initiative.

The tour or visit could be as soon as the next CARA meeting on April 13th 2023. Or the next AUX COMM meeting on April 19th 2023. Or perhaps the May CARA or May Aux Comm meeting.

Maybe set it up to occur during the CARA Field Day in June?

Do you have a sense of what time frame Sheriff Cox has?

Dear Sheriff Cox, I was one of the old men having lunch today at Three Brothers. Since you were there with your family, I decided to not bother you with any requests. As members of the Calvert Amateur Radio Association (CARA) we are very interested

Dear Sheriff Cox,

 

I was one of the old men having lunch today at Three Brothers.  Since you were there with your family, I decided to not bother you with any requests.

 

As members of the Calvert Amateur Radio Association (CARA) we are very interested in getting a tour of your comms van.  Is that possible?

 

We meet on the second Thursday of each month at the Harriet Elizabeth Brown Community Center at 7:30 PM.  We can either ask you to assign a deputy to visit there or we can come to you.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Regards,

 

Edward Zumstein

Amateur radio WB6NCO
