I need volunteers to check tickets at the main entrance as well as ensure the perimeter doors are covered to prevent entry without tickets. This is about the easiest thing for club members to do while supporting the only fundraiser TMRA has. If watching the doors isn?t your thing, help is also needed on Saturday morning March 16 to help set up the event room, forum room. On Sunday morning help is also needed getting vendors and their goods to their table, and again on Sunday afternoon for tearing down and cleaning up afterwards. Please call or text me at (419) 573-9665, send me an email at w8mal at arrl.net or get in touch with Brian WD8MXR if you would like to help.

The Maumee Fire Station is likely available and I can help arrange it if needed, but other ideas for location are welcome as well. The club radios will also be available for use for the event. Transmit power will be 100 watts. Let me know ASAP please if you are available to help organize it! NOTES on the Event: The Ohio ARES NVIS antenna day is a non-contest operating activity open to all amateurs. In the case of an emergency, we will need to communicate over relatively short distances to stations within the state of Ohio and our neighboring states. NVIS antennas are the technology to do this, but which are best? And, how does YOUR antenna work? http://arrl-ohio.org/SEC/nvis.html http://arrl-ohio.org/SEC/2017-NVIS-Report.pdf http://www.vcars.org/tech/NVIS.html Thanks!
