EventHams has been asked to assist in the recruiting aspect of this event (parade)
Previously Steve Ostrove, K2SO (sk) both coordinated and participated in this event.
Steve passed away in October of 2020.
(click on photo for Obituary info)
Steve, K2SO (sk) has been the driving force for this event for the past decade or so, and since COVID-19 and his passing in 2020, the last time this event took place was 2019.
May 22, 2022 (in 2 weeks) is the first time this parade is coming back since the COVID-19 pandemic. The Parade organizers have reached out to Zev Darack, N2WKS and as such, Zev has reached out to EventHams to ask for our assist to help staff this event.
This Parade event needs 6 Hams to assist in the successful planning to provide the support that the Parade Organizers look forward to every year.
I know that this is short timing, but if we could step up and help them out, and make Steve, K2SO (sk) proud, I'm sure that the Parade Organizers would be very grateful.

The majority of our ham radio volunteers for our events can expect to be assigned to a mile point or medical tent location. Some assignments may involve shadowing event officials or riding in event vehicles.
Our primary mission is to provide emergency and supplemental communications to event staff and public safety officials; our volunteers are also well known as the set of "eyes and ears" along the event course, reporting any emergency or unusual situations back to event officials via our net control stations.
Our operators should be prepared for the 'weather-of-the-day', as a majority of the assignments require them to be outdoors, regardless of the weather conditions.
We conduct a majority of our operations on 70-cm (440mhz) repeaters through the generous assistance and support of repeater owners and groups. Our operators should be equipped with a 440-mhz (70cm) HT, ample spare battery capacity for a day-long event, and a good set of headphones. While it is not mandatory, many of our operators also utilize UHF/70cm DMR HTs as well.
Since we, the EventHams 'staff' are also volunteers, we recruit for the events far in advance and need that time to create rosters, assignment lists, frequency lists, etc. We rely on this website to make the information available, so please check back often!
