[PPRAANet] Fwd: Re: From NPS.gov: Permission to operate a temporary HAM radio station.

[KT0DX]

I wanted to pass on the below information in case anyone from PPRAA 
wanted to activate the Sand Creek Massacre Historical Site this year.  
As noted below the two big things to take away is that a Special Use 
Permit has to be issued before any operation can be conducted.  You can 
request the form by sending a request to shawn_g_gillette at nps.gov 
<mailto:shawn_g_gillette at nps.gov>   ,also please note that the site is 
restricting the operation to only 2 people and the Special Use Permit 
fee is waived.  If more then two people are going to set up and operate 
then you will have to pay the $25.00 for the Special Use Permit.  In 
talking to Shawn on the phone there are trees in the area but they do 
not want any wires in the trees or any thing attached to the trees.  The 
only thing that should be in the trees are the birds.

Please if you do go out there and operate remember you are a 
representative of the ham radio community.   What you do while out there 
will either make it easy or harder for the next person.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your telephone call yesterday. After discussing with the park 
Superintendent, we would be happy to have you come out to the park and 
set up your radio unit. I would like to have this activity conducted 
under a Special Use Permit. All this does is formerly acknowledge your 
request and stipulate the park rules/regulations under which you may 
conduct your radio activity. As long as you are doing this activity with 
just yourself, and maybe one other person, the park will waive all the 
fees associated with the activity. What I will need you to do is 
download the attached application, complete it and then send it to my 
attention either electronically or through the mail to the following 
address:

Sand Creek Massacre NHS
ATTN: Shawn G. Gillette
P.O. Box 249
Eads, CO 81036

We will waive the application fee of $25.00 since this is an application 
for an educational event. If you have any questions, please e-mail them 
to my attention: shawn_g_gillette at nps.gov <mailto:shawn_g_gillette at nps.gov>

I look forward to receiving your application and scheduling a time you 
can come out. Best.

Shawn G. Gillette
