20 Meter Foxhunt

starts in about 47 minutes.

Don NK6A in California and Arn K0ZK in Maine are the Foxes this week. The way 20 Meters has been lately, I think I will stand a better chance of hitting California than Maine. Maine may just be a tad too close.

We had a CERT meeting tonight in town. South Plainfield's big "End of Summer" bash is coming up with the (52nd or 53rd?) annual Labor Day Parade and fireworks later that night. South Plainfield is one of only three towns in the entire state to have a parade for Labor Day and the CERT team has been providing communications since 2004.

This year we need a big presence at the fireworks, too. Last year there was "an incident" and the plan is to hopefully pair up CERT members with Police and Special Police from neighboring towns.

In addition, I met up with Marv K2VHW and we decided to pursue a club callsign for the newly formed and fledgling South Plainfield Amateur Radio Club. Marv and I will also be meeting up together in the next couple of weeks to plan out another licensing class like the one we held a few years back. Several CERT members as well as at least one of the town's police officers have expressed an interest in earning their tickets.

Looks like autumn may be busy and interesting!
