Com Volunteers Needed for May 6 Hurricane Awareness Tour

As many of you know, the National Weather Service is hosting a Hurricane Awareness Tour that is coming to RI, at Quonset Point Airfield on Monday May 6th… Our membership, will provide communications support for the first Hurricane Awareness Tour to visit New England in 11 yrs.

We need as many volunteers as we can muster. Tasks include making contact with the National Hurricane Center on HF, guiding visitors to planes, to exhibits, controlling flow of visitors through the demonstrations, and at least one net control station for VHF. We will have at least one VHF Station set up for local communications, and one HF Station set up for comms with the NHC

We need volunteers to arrive at AT 8AM. Bring your HT.

We are seeking as many members as we can muster. I realize this is a weekday, and many of us work. But I do hope we can get a good number of you to support this event.

Contact Paul N1PSX (N1PSX@arrl.org) with your availability…

Thank you on behalf of RI ARES
