W9JP CLUB POTA ACTIVITY NEWS
Coming up on Saturday, November 23, plan to come to Fort Harrison State Park for
another Indianapolis Radio Club Parks on the Air activation.
We will plan on being on the air by noon and going for 2 or 3 hours.
We will be set up in front of the Visitor’s Center.
It will be a little cooler, but we will have a propane heater, coffee
and donuts, and we might even have an enclosed tent.
At least, as of now, it looks like it should be dry.
We plan to have 2 HF stations on the air.
Remember, these are great opportunities for folks with little or no HF experience to get on the air.
Don’t worry if you’re not licensed for HF, as there will be control operators present.
