Upcoming Amateur Radio Events

It's been a busy week and I haven't had much time for posting. There are, however, some upcoming amateur radio events that bear announcing. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to get a military monitoring recap posted.

Bacon Park Special Event Station
On Saturday, 17 September 2008, there will be a special event station set up at the ball field at the intersection of Skidaway Rd. and Bonna Bella Ave. This special event station will be part of an event commemorating the 75th anniversary of the CCC (Citizens Conservation Corps). Setup will begin at 9:00 AM and operations will run to around 2:00 PM. Pending approval, it is hoped that the callsign will be K4S. For more information, contact Steve Jonas, K4SDJ at k4sdj@comcast.net


Heart of Savannah 5K Run
Amateur Radio Operators will be needed to provide communications for this year's Heart of Savannah 5K Run in downtown Savannah. Operators will be needed on 4 October 2008 beginning at 5:30 PM. For more information or to volunteer, contact Steve Jonas, K4SDJ at k4sdj@comcast.net


Boy Scout Merit Badge Net
There will be a special net at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, 7 October 2008 for the purpose of assisting Boy Scouts with working on their Radio Merit Badges. Operators will be needed to stand by to participate in the net and make contacts with the Boy Scouts. At this time, I haven't heard what frequency or repeater this will be on. If I hear more, I'll post an update.
