The Winterfest Boat Parade is right around the corner and we are looking for ham operators to be the eyes and ears of the parade up and down the 12 mile parade route. We also need hams to help with the antenna installation the week before the parade.

Here are the dates:
Monday, December 9, 2024 – 9:30 am – Antenna Installation
Wednesday, December 11, 2024 – 5:30 pm – Training Dinner
Saturday, December 14, 2024 – Winterfest Boat Parade

We need a handful of hams to install the antennas for the parade on the Monday before the parade. We start at 9:30 am and should be done no later than 1:00 pm.

Everyone is required to attend the training dinner on Wednesday to learn the latest protocols for the hams on parade night as well as to pick up your credentials.

Parade day is on Saturday. The parade itself begins at 6:00 pm with pre-show activities and the parade itself begins at 6:30 pm. Your start time will depend on your assignment.

If you are able to help out, please email Carol Sjursen, KJ4AWB (click on the link) at CarolSjursen@gmail.com with your name, and cell phone number.

Looking forward to another great parade! Thank you for volunteering!

Carol, KJ4AWB
