[NLRS] How can you help at CSVHFS in La Crosse?

[Bruce Richardson]

Hello Badgers and NLRS'ers:

 

Over the past three years, many of you in the region have mentioned that
you'd like to help at the event if needed.

 

Well, as we get close to the event, I will tell you there are
places/activities where you can help.

 

Noise Figure lab needs at least one assistant to help line up devices to be
tested, help log data, and enter results data into a laptop.  Noise Figure
lab chief is Doug Carlson AD0CX.  

 

Rover Row and Dish Bowl chief is Mike Metroka WB8BZK.  I believe he could
use one assistant for hanging banners, placing cordoning ropes, and
otherwise assist with him.

 

Friday evening, many hands are needed to move tables and chairs to configure
the room to a safe TradeFest configuration.  By that I mean, the chairs
become a tripping hazard and we should move/stack them to the side.  After
the TradeFest is over, we need to make the room look exactly like we found
it.

 

Party Suite Meister is Al Schlaugat N9ISN.  He says he has stocking and
hosting the Party Suite under control.  I will say that we all should try to
keep the Party Suite bussed and picked up.  If you are around at the end of
the night, help tidy it up for the next day.

 

Registration table could use two to four assistants.  Particularly on
Thursday (1:30p to 5p) and Friday morning.  I want to not have any one
person spend too many hours away from "the conference" so that you miss the
conference.  But you could be a BIG help for the time you do pledge.

 

Saturday afternoon, right after the Business Meeting, while I have to be at
a Quick BOD meeting, I need people to bring prizes to the prize table and be
"Table Guard".  It's a particularly stressful time while each of us tries to
get dressed for dinner and enjoy the cocktail hour, we have this work of
moving prizes and placing them pleasingly on the prize table.

 

If we have a child attending, they could help us picking prize tickets after
dinner.

 

Thursday night, I could use one person to get to the gangplank of the
paddleboat early and have our roster of participants on a clipboard.  I
think the technical phrase is "passenger manifest".

 


At Friday and Saturday luncheon, I could use one person to collect luncheon
tickets and compare them with the roster of luncheon participants.

 

Janice, KA9VVQ, will be the photographer helping us document the event.
However, if any of you get pictures during the event, don't hesitate to work
with me on sharing those photos with me afterward.

 

I know some special photos that I want to set up are:

222 WAS hams from the Wayback

222 WAS hams from the recent

Fred Fish Chasers who have made it

Fred Fish Chasers who are getting close or are enjoying the hunt

The universe of 122 GHz equipment and ops that are at the event

 

If one of these tasks sounds like a good match for you, just let me know.
If you are flexible, I may ask you to pitch in on one of the above tasks.

 

Thanks for considering. But make sure you ENJOY the event!
