Ohio NVIS Day 2019

We had a great turn out for Ohio NVIS Day. We had 2 stations setup, one station was using an end fed wire cut for 80 meters about 3 ft off the ground. The other station was using an 80 meter dipole fed with 100' of ladder line. We made contacts using the 80 meter dipole fed with ladder line. It was around 30 or so feet high on the ends and the feed point was lower. at around 20 feet or so due to tree branches. 

Tuesdays Summer Lunch Program Activty Help Needed

KE8ANU - Sat, 04/27/2019 - 12:46pm

Ed created a signup Genius page for this event. Please use that to sign up for the days you are available to help wi th it.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0C4DADAE2CA1FD0-summer
Help for activities for the summer lunch program on Tuesdays at Partners Park in Marysville is needed. The summer lunch program provides free summer lunches to people 0-18 years old. Lunch is served at 12pm. Usually by 12:30pm lunches are consumed. We have the opportunity to setup an amateur radio or stem/technology type activity at the park on Tuesdays. Since we will be at a park, we won't be limited to time constraints for the legnth of the actiivity. If the activity has a lot of interest and goes longer we will be able to stay as long as we need to. Our hope is by consistantly being at the park on Tuesdays, kids that are interested in technology and amateur radio will know to show up on Tuesdays for lunch to partciapte in the club activity. 

If you can help out with this effort, please let Ed,  KE8ANU at arrl.net  know what tuesdays you are available to help. The more club members we have help with it, the easier it will be on everyone. Ideally it would be good to have 2 different volunteers for each of the 10 Tuesdays.  Since this is the first time we will be doing this, we do not know what to expect. I have attached some pictures of previous summer lunch days so everyone can get an idea of the number of kids that could be in the park.

 

Steam Threshers Special Event Station Help needed !!

KE8ANU - Wed, 03/27/2019 - 11:39am

The steam threshers special event station in July needs volunteers. Will who has been coordinating it for the past 2 years has other obligations he has to tend to the wekeend of the Steam Threshers Show in Plain City and is unable to coordinate the event this year. We need someone to coordinate the event which will involve setting up the antenna and radio to use during the event at Past Time Park as well as taking the antenna down and packing up the radio when the event is over. In the past we have strung up a dipole antenna using the trees to support it. Will has talked with the president of the Miami Valley Steam Theshers Association and he has gotten permission to have the special event station there this year. If you want to help out with the event or coordinate the event, please contact Ed, KE8ANU at arrl.net

The special event station is located at the old gas station at the park. There is power available there and we are allowed to store some of the equipment in a building there. In the past it has been the club banner and a small folding table. Will has used his personal radio for the event. We should be able to use one of the club radios for it. Below is a photo of were the station is set up to give everyone an idea of what is needed. It is a fun event to work. You end up talking to other hams on the radio that are also involved with old farming equipment and tractors. Often visitors will walk up and ask questions about the radio setup and that usually is a good opportunity to promote the hobby.
