The NW Ohio ARES Traffic Net meets daily at 6:30PM on the W8RZM 147.375 repeater. The Ohio Single Sideband Net meets daily at 10:30AM, 4:15PM and 6:45PM on 3.9725 MHz. The Ohio Section also has three CW Nets, the Ohio Slow Net meets daily at 6:00PM on 3.53535 and runs at approximately 10 WPM. The Buckeye Net-Early meets daily at 6:45PM on 3.580 and runs between 15-20 WPM. Finally, the Buckeye Net-Late meets daily at 10PM on 3.590 and runs in the same range as the Early Net. Currently, there are only 2 volunteers that cover 7 days a week, and most nets there isn't a volunteer at all. Please consider volunteering for an hour a week, you never know, you may like it. For more information on traffic handling, or volunteering to assist relaying traffic please check into the VHF net or contact Colleen Roth N8TNV, Steve Denniss KC8IDM, or Michael Lacumsky W8MAL. > > === > > -- > Michael Lacumsky W8MAL t > A.E.C.

So there?s been some confusion about Field Day this year. As of this time 21:00 on 06/09/20 field Day at Walcott House is a go. It?s going to look a bit different due to the Covid 19 Virus. Here is the current guidance from the Field Day Chairman. Please direct any questions to Steve. Here is the message From Steve/W8TER > TMRA FIELD DAY CHAIR > > Field Day 2020 is so much different and will take place under unusual conditions and so therefore will result in unusual operations and unusual rules. > > TMRA will be conducting field day operations this year. Due to the threat of the Corona virus, it is likely we will make a small footprint with our operators and stations. > > TMRA intends to abide by and uphold the Ohio Department of Health rules regarding Covid-19, camping, and campgrounds. > > Social distancing will be practiced, and facemasks will be required, especially if working closer is temporarily required. > > Everyone working with set-up and tear-down will be asked to wear gloves. > > Frequent hand washing will be encouraged. > > Anyone refusing to abide by the guidelines will be asked to leave the site. > > Any and all participants should bring their own food, snacks and drinks. There will be no provided food or beverages. > > Stations may be set up after 9 am on Saturday. (Contact Steve, W8TER before Field Day weekend.) > > Operators may bring their own headset / mic to use during their operating time. However, club radios will be "on-hand" if you need or prefer one. > > All operating surfaces will be sanitized between operators. ****Radios themselves should not be sanitized or cleaned except by the radio owner. No bug or mosquito spray should be used on or near the radios either. > > By following these simple ?common sense? practices, much of the exposure can be limited for everyone?s benefit. > > Field Day starts at 2:00 pm on June 27, 2020 and ends at 2:00 pm on June 28, 2020. > > > > > > > > Everyone coming to the Field Day site will be asked a short series of questions: > > Have you had a fever of over 100.4 in the last 24 hours? > > Have you knowingly been in contact with anyone diagnosed with COVID 19 in the last 14 days? > > Have you, or anyone you have been in contact with in the past 14 days had any of the following symptoms: > > Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat or new loss of taste or smell? > > (We will NOT be recording answers or maintaining any records which would be subject to HIPPA regulations). > > Any ?YES? answer will result in that person being asked to leave the Field Day site. > Hand sanitizer will be available at all operating positions. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Ladies and Gents, Skywarn is actively using the repeaters and may still be as of net time at 7pm. (We'll play this by ear tonight, but they get priority) We'll still have our presentation at 6pm with Scott Yonally (so, do plan to join that). If the skywarn net ends by 7:45pm we will proceed with a late General Meeting Net (otherwise it will be cancelled this month). Thanks All! Stay Safe.

Although infrequent, accidents unfortunately occur in Amateur Radio activity. ARRL recommends (and offers bonus points for) having a safety officer on board for Field Day operation. Here are just a few things the job would include but not be limited to: Fuel for generator properly stored. Fire extinguisher on hand and appropriately located. First Aid kit on hand. First Aid - CPR - AED trained participant/s on site. Access to NWS alerts to monitor for inclement weather. Tent stakes properly installed and marked. Temporary antenna structures properly secured and marked. Site secured from tripping hazards. Site is set up in a neat and orderly manner to reduce hazards. Stations and equipment properly grounded. Access to a means to contact police/fire/rescue. Minimize risks and control hazards to ensure no injuries to public. Monitoring participants for hydration and ensure an adequate water supply is available. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
