The May 7 meeting of the Mentoring and Ham Development group will be reschedules due to concerns about conflicts due to Mothers Day Weekend and one speaker who is under the weather.
Please hold Monday, May 23, 2022 for the next meeting. I’ll send a reminder out with the Zoom and the Agenda the week before.
Communicators are still needed for next Sunday’s event!
We are still short of several positions.
Nine communicators are still needed. To date we still need nine more checkpoints covered, Net Control and a bicycle sweep. Operators will check in between 0830 – 0845 and the event ends about 11 AM for most emergency communications volunteers. Attached is a map of the route.
This is a WONDERFUL opportunity to introduce newly licensed amateurs or people interested in getting licensed to public service. Please ask someone to join you! If you are new, I will assign you to a position with one of our more experienced volunteers
If you are available, please send an email to: TimKC1TWR@gmail.com
Please include your cell and home phone numbers for the COMM Plan even if you have sent them for previous events. Include your T-Shirt size as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

From ARRL News:
05/04/2022- Dayton Hamvention® is offering a free mobile app for smartphones and tablets to help attendees navigate the large-scale event, which runs May 20 – 22 at the Greene County Fairgrounds and Expo Center in Xenia, Ohio. The app, which was introduced in 2019, is offered in a collaborative effort with ARRL The National Association for Amateur Radio®.
The free ARRL Events app is now available and already includes Hamvention’s full program, so attendees can browse and schedule forums, find affiliated events, and preview the extensive list of exhibitors. During the event, attendees can use other app features to follow the hourly prize drawings populated by the Dayton Hamvention Prize Committee, and browse building and site maps.
Attendees are also encouraged to tap on the MyProfile icon in the app to add their name and call sign, email address, and any additional information they would like to share with other Hamvention guests. Additionally, the MyBadge icon displays a QR code of your event badge that can be scanned by another attendee or exhibitor using the Scan Badge icon – instantly connecting shared contact information with other hams at the event.
The app is available for Apple and Android smart devices, or access the web browser version which is optimized for nearly any browser or other type of mobile device. Visit your app store to download the app (search “ARRL Events”) or access the links available on the ARRL EXPO web page. If you’re reading this article on a mobile device, click here to be redirected to the appropriate app store, or redirected to the web browser version (www.tripbuildermedia.com/apps/arrl). Please email hamventionapp@arrl.org with any questions about the app.

Our electronic ticketing is now live! Visit our website to purchase general admission, flea, and Friday and Saturday banquet tickets!
Starting on Friday: April 29 at 1900 Z (3 PM Eastern Time), the Handiham organization will be holding a QSO Party to recognize the program’s 55th anniversary. The QSO party will run through Sunday: May 1 at 1900 Z.
The goal of this event is to make contacts with as many hams as possible, including Handiham members, and to publicize the work of the Handiham organization as it tries to make ham radio available to people with disabilities.
All bands and modes will be used.
The QSO party exchange will simply be callsign, name, and state.
If interested, you can receive a commemorative QSL card from Handihams, confirming your contact.
So, please look for participating Handiham members if you are interested.
