[W8MWA] Out of the Darkness Walk update

[Randy Crowe]

Finally got an update on the Out of the Darkness Walk for October 19.

*Date:* 10/19/2024
*On-Site Registration Starts: *10:00 am
*Program Starts:* 11:30 am
*Location:* Hazel Ruby McQuain Park, Morgantown, WV

Attached find the proposed map of the walk. It's on the streets of 
downtown Morgantown. This is a football Saturday so it's anybody's guess 
as to traffic at this time. We can use as many people as we can get but 
a minimum of 8 to cover the route seems to be necessary. At a minimum 
I'd like to put 2 people at the start, one at University Ave and Foundry 
St., one at University and Fayette St., one at Chestnut and Fayette, one 
at Chestnut and Willey, one at Willey and Spruce, one on Pleasant 
between Spruce and High, one at High and Fayette. If we have more we'll 
spread them out and fill in wherever we think will be a good place.

This is a good chance to get your feet wet with public service work. I 
encourage everyone to get some experience. This should be a low key 
event with us just providing route / walker updates, keeping an eye out 
for anyone having difficulties, things like that.

By the published schedule of events and experience from last year, I 
expect the walk portion of the day to actually start closer to 12:30 but 
I'd like to have people in place by 11:30 if possible. The actual walk 
will probably take about an hour. I anticipate being able to use simplex 
operation for the event but I will check and get permission to use the 
WVU 146.76 repeater if we find simplex won't get it. Hope to test that 
sometime before the event.

More info as I get it.

Thanks for your help

Randy
