Long Hill Township is having it's annual Community Day Fair on  
Saturday. We have been asked to operate a Ham Station from the event.  
We need Control Operators on 2 meter repeaters, so Kids and Visitors  
can get on the air. Even more important we need competent NPARC  
members to speak with the parents and other adults, and explain why  
Ham Radio is a good activity for them and for their kids.

Set up time in Gillette will be between 9 and 11 AM.
Our operating times will be from 1500Z until about 2000Z.
I expect to tear everything down by 5 PM.

We'll have one Club Gazebo there, a Honda Generator, one of our 2  
meter mobile rigs (with the usual local repeaters set up), a power  
supply etc. and a ground plane antenna with a couple of green aluminum  
poles holding it up. Plus the usual handouts, ICOM comic books, papers  
and logs for a Kids Day or summer camp operation.

We'll also have a couple of code oscillators and straight keys for the  
kids to play with.

I have asked Eric NW2P to set us up on IRLP with some foreign or at  
least west coast and Canadian repeaters, and ask some english speaking  
hams to listen for us. This will be on the 146.625 repeater which is  
set up in the Mobile rig. Eric will be around much of the day to speak  
with the kids and visitors.

I hope we have enough Control Ops from NPARC to keep going all this  
time. If you can't come and help, please try to get on the various  
repeaters and speak with the kids. Call me for further info.
