1) The WVARA Spring 2024 Hamfest, sponsored by the Wabash Valley ARA Inc. will be on March 30, 2024, at the Clay County 4-H Fairgrounds. Located at 6550 North State Road 59 in Brazil Indiana.  Talk in will be on the 146.685MHz repeater with a PL-Tone of 151.4Hz.  For more information contact Kevin Berlen K9HX at 812-239-9140 or at kevin.berlen@gmail.com or go to www.w9uuu.org/hamfest/hamfest_2024.pdf.



2) From the RACES Officer Gordon Cotton W9GKC; RACES needs Ham operators to assist Hendricks County EMA during a period on April 8, 2024. RACES operators come from the ranks of Hendricks County ARES members.  A background check is required.  Multiple sites will need operators.  Handheld equipment is fine.  Mobile is better.  If you are available and interested in helping, contact kd0ewm.in@gmail.com to connect with the Hendricks County RACES Officer. If you would like to help but have time constraints, please still reach out to see how your time availability can be accommodated.  Plans are still being finalized.  The more hams, the easier to make plans.



3) The Indiana Section, ARES, Sunday net will be on 80M for this Sunday through to the end of March.  On April 7th, the net will move to 40M.  It would be good for as many as possible to check in on April 7th as ARES will use the 40M (7.272MHz +/-) as the state level coordination frequency for the eclipse.



4) The Hendricks County Amateur Radio Society (HCARS) Club Meeting will be on April 8, 2024, at 7pm at the Hendricks County Government Building, located at 355 S. Washington St. In Danville.  The meeting will feature a presentation on communications for preppers.  Topics will be equipment, procedures, and frequencies for emergency situations. 



5) The next Hospital Net will be on Saturday April 20, 2024, on 147.570MHz simplex at 10:30am.  The net control operator will be Jake Stellmack, KI6PKV, hosting from IU West Hospital.  All amateurs are encouraged to participate.




            


There were no additional announcements made during the net









 The Southern Gateway Radio League C4FM digital “Fusion" net, normally held on the W9ZSK 147.255 repeater in Martinsville, Indiana will be moved to the W9ZSK 444.250 repeater on the 4th Wednesday of every month at 8:30 P.M. (Eastern Daylight Time) to allow Wires-X users to access the net from beyond the repeater's regular coverage area. This will be a directed net and all participants are asked to pause between transmissions to allow Wires-X users to connect & disconnect. Wires-X users should connect to the N9AWU room #43978.
