If you have a ham radio our Prepper Simplex Frequency is 147.440 and this will be monitored throughout the event.
For those of you who are interested in Ham Radio, our special event callsign will be N7P.
You are invited to bring your own radio gear but we are setting up our radios for all to use, even unlicensed operators. If you want to get a feel for radio work, this is your chance. Last year we even talked to a station in New Zealand!
Although we are having our event on ARRL Field Day Weekend, we are not just about ham radio so we are going to have more events this year to review our other skill sets.
1. Astronomy (Ken is bringing his big 10 inch)
2. Two to three park service tours
3. knot tying
4. expedient shelter demonstrations
5. fire starting
6. Community Kitchen & Meals

Please email Ken with any questions, comments or ideas for class work, especially if you would like to teach a class or bring demonstration items. Also, if you would like to take lead on one of the self-service training stations or help provide assistance if someone should want it then please indicate that in your RSVP.
