December 3, 2019
1) The next W9HCA Hendricks County ARES Tuesday Night Simplex Net will be held on December 10th. Bill Pfaffenberger, AE9R, will be the Net Control Operator (NCO), hosting on the simplex frequency of 147.570MHz. These Nets are to test the performance and capability of our radio equipment with a Net Control Operator as well as Amateur’s in and around Hendricks County.
2) Winter Ultra Marathon Requires Large Ham Radio Corps. An unusual, winter public service event requires a large contingent of volunteer ham radio operators Dec. 28th. The Hoosier Ultra-Fast Fifty (HUFF) is a 50-kilometer (31-mile) ultra-marathon through the rolling, wooded trails of Chain O’ Lakes State Park near Albion in District 3 (Northeast Indiana).
Hundreds of people participate — as many as 960, according to race director Mitch Harper. Covering the entire event requires ARES to fill 95 individual two-hour shifts. Although many operators volunteer for more than one two-hour shift, filling that schedule still requires a large staff of operators. ARES must rely on operators from outside the immediate area.
If you can drive to Chain O’ Lakes State Park in less than a couple hours, please consider volunteering, to help assure that ham radio operations are fully staffed and that HUFF runners remain safe. Contact district emergency coordinator Jim Moehring, KB9WWM at kb9wwm@arrl.net.
3) Winter Field Day 2020, will be on Saturday January 25th and Sunday January 26th of 2020. Winter Field Day Association (WFDA) is a dedicated group of Amateur Radio operators who believe that emergency communications in a winter environment is just as important as the preparation and practice that is done each summer, but with some additional unique operational concerns. If you are interested in participating in Winter Field Day contact the Hendricks County ARES at kb9dja@gmail.com.
• Winter Field Day 2020 will be held on January 25-26 in Danville at the Hendricks County Senior Services Center, 1201 Sycamore Ln. Setup at 12 noon on Saturday 25th. Operate your radio at 2 pm until 2 pm on Sunday 26th. Bands of operation are: HF, VHF, and UHF except 12,17,30, and 60 meters. To register for this event, email us at w9hca2010@gmail.com. Rules for this event can be found at www.winterfieldday.com/rules. Registration deadline is January 17th.
• HCARS is looking for some help with their hamfest committee. If you would like to help, contact the club at hcars46122@gmail.com.
• The various meetings and nets mentioned above are all training opportunities. Please participate in as many as possible.
