[TMRA] Ohio State Parks on the Air

[Bradley F Ruhberg]

Happy Labor Day
Just a reminder that next Saturday Sept 7th 2019, is the TMRAs Annual Ohio State Parks on the Air Event at Maumee State Park in Oregon Ohio.
This year the Event has a new Organizer in Richard King/ KE8IJV. The event will start with setup in the Morning and run until 6 pm.

Who:  Toledo Mobile Radio Association W8H MBY 
 
What:  Ohio State Parks on the Air 
 
When:  Saturday September 7, 2019 10am – 6pm ET 
 
Where:  Maumee State Park, Big Field 
 
Purpose 
To promote public awareness of ham radio and Ohio’s beautiful state park system; to contribute to the recognition that Ohio has a very diverse and wonderful ecology; tp promote camaraderie within the ranks of Ohio’s Amateur Radio Operators; and to encourage contact with other Amateur Radio Operators; and to encourage contact with other Amateur Radio Operators around the state, country, and world. 
 
Objective 
To have competing stations operating from as many of Ohio’s Seventy-four (74) state parks as possible.  Making contacts from an Ohio State Park to other Ohio State Parks is the goal all stations should strive for.  Note:  Non-Ohio stations may work only Ohio stations located in an Ohio State Park.  Ohio stations not located in an Ohio State Park may only contact stations operating from inside an Ohio State Park. 
 
Exchange 
Stations operating from an Ohio State Park send their call sign and their Ohio State Park Identifier. Example:  W8H MBY TMRA’s Call sign and Maumee Bay State Park Identifier. 
 
Entry Categories 
• MML – Multi-Op Multi-Transmitter Low Power (.1 to 100 watts) located at one Ohio State Park. 
• MMH – Multi-Op Multi-Transmitter High Power (>100watts) located at one Ohio State Park 
 
TMRA will be hosting the Ohio State Parks on the Air at the Maumee State Park.  We will be a Multi-Op Multi-Transmitter Entry.  Entries where more than one Person performs the operating and or logging functions using more than one transmitter.  Multi-Op Multi-Transmitter entries may employ multi transmitters simultaneously on different bands.  One call sign used. 

At this time we are planning Stations on 20,40 and 80 Meters.

In addition to the Regular Radio Operation, the Members of the NOW Aredn Mesh Committee will be deploying the AD-Hock Mesh Network and testing its capabilities as well as offering instruction to others on its uses. Be sure to ask any questions you may have about this System.

I look forward to seeing you at the Park
