All,
I've been told that a SACMA= RC banner was made for a previous event.
Can anyone tell me who currently= has custody of it? If you have it,
please let me know.
Also, if anyone has any inf= ormational displays created for previous
events I would appreciate knowin= g about them as well.

Offutt AFB Open House, August 16 & 17
George,
Thank you for the introduct= ion and for your support.
Everyone,
What began as a casua= l idea discussed following the All
Communicators Picnic has become a real= ity. With your help I plan to
put K0GRL on the air as a special event sta= tion during the two days
of the Offutt AFB Air Show. With Field Day havin= g just concluded I
don't think there are any "technical" challenges to pu= tting a
station on the air. The only challenge is putting a team together= .
As George mentioned below, = I need lots of help. In particular, I
need people to staff the station as= operators, loggers and greeters
to talk to people about SACMARC and amat= eur radio. The air show
gates will be open 9:00am - 5:00pm. The plan is t= o have the station
on the air from 10:00am to 4:00pm, six hours each on S= aturday and
Sunday. Depending on the number of people who are available t= o
operate I'd like to setup 'shifts' of 1 - 2 hours for people to take
tu= rns operating and/or logging. I wouldn't ask anyone to spend the
entire d= ay talking on the radio. We need to have at least three
people at the boo= th at any given time, more would be better.
Ken Lemke (AC0DQ) has volun= teered the use of his radio and antenna,
but he has to work for the base = the day of the air show, so he isn't
available to operate. I plan to have= a sun shelter setup with tables,
radio, antenna, chairs, equipment and r= efreshments by the time the
gate opens. Operators will (hopefully) have a= "walk on" role.
For the sake of discussion,= let's start with two hour shifts, and
we'll lower lower it if we have en= ough volunteers. Tentatively, the
shifts would be 10am - Noon, Noon - 2pm= and 2pm - 4:00pm. Amateurs
working the Air Show in support of the 55th M= edical Group and Sarpy
EMA are certain welcome to take breaks at the SACM= ARC booth and
either operate or talk about Ham radio with air show visito= rs.
All volunteers, pleas= e e-mail me (kc= 0ykn@cox.net) with your
preferred day and shi= ft. We need to get a list of people who will be
staffing the booth to the= air show staff, so I need to know as soon
as possible who our volunteers= are. If you don't have a General (or
higher) license I'm sure we can fin= d a control operator to allow you
to operate legally.
