South Cove Park Deployment

Well our South Cove Park, SC deployment went very well and all who participated seem to have a great time. Most had so much fun they are ready for another. However, Our field day is coming up and we want to get as many as possible participating. Once again this prepares us for an actual situation should one ever arise.

Bill and I will be contacting members to be participants in various parts of the deployment by making sure their part is executed. Please volunteer for what you are able.

Hopefully by the end of July we will have two more park deployments for member participation and maybe even a SOTA.

Happy Radio Waves till next time

South Cove Park Deploymen

We are just a week away from our CPOTA South Cove Park simulated emergency deployment.

We will deploy at 9am and operate till around 4pm. Bring you radio gear, lunch and drinks and have fun, learn and make contacts. We go rain or shine.

You may come an go as you wish. Parking is free. No metal stakes in the ground. We will operate on portable power only. batteries and generators. No mobile operation.

I look forward for a chance to check out my equipment and operation and will take notes. I encourage all participants to do the same. This will give us a chance to be better prepared for the next deployment and field day.

See you there!
