neighboring islands are also being affected by the disaster. When
responding to disasters and emergencies such as this, the CEWN
utilizes 3.185 MHz LSB and 7.188 MHz LSB. CEWN is requesting that

Ohio NVIS Day is April 24th. This weekend was a great wekeend to put together a NVIS antenna to test out on Saturday. Ed put together a NVIS antenna and set it up on World Amateur Radio Day at Keckly Park. 

Mark, N8VJF will be net control for the DMR ARES Group net on the Marysville talk group 313966 at 9pm. The net will provide the opportunity to test out DMR equipment and also DMR repeater coverage areas. The net will meet monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. We look forward to hearing you on the net! 

George, KE8NIY is getting a POTA group together to activate Ohio Parks on a monthly basis for Parks on The Air https://parksontheair.com/ . Park activations may take place in an afternoon or may be a weekend camping trip. The goal is to give everyone that is interested in learning and practicing operating portable one weekend a month to do just that. A weekend camping POTA activation would provide the opportunity to test out a 2 or 3 day deployment bag/kit. Park activations would be an opportunity to try out different antennas, and over all improve portable operating skills and equipment/antenna setup. 
If you are interested in joining George, KE8NIY for Parks on the Air please send an e-mail to pota@ares.unioncountyohio.us
