Please mark your calendars & let me know ASAP if you can participate
onsite or offsite responding to calls.

Initial plans are for 1 HF station, 1 VHF station on local repeater and a
Morse Code practice area. I would like to have at least 2-3 licensed
operators to help out.

This should be good exposure for our Club as well as attracting youth (&
their parents) to our hobby & Club.

For those who may not know yet, Matt Johnson, N5MTJ is working diligently
to start a Amateur Radio Club at NMA. I encourage us all to support his
efforts as fully as possible. This is a great beginning in the Dothan
area.
