Mike Corey, KI1U, Emergency Preparedness Manager at ARRL is looking for volunteers during the Centennial Convention to assist with parking at Hq and communications. The parking volunteers will need to be able to safely park vehicles and capable of working for a 4 hour shift in whatever weather July may throw at us. An Amateur Radio license is not needed for these volunteer positions.

The communications volunteers will need to meet a few more qualifications. They must have a license and plenty of on air experience, familiar with local geography, good people skills, SKYWARN trained, familiar with APRS, and familiar with a wide range of communications i.e. phone, radio, cellular, text messaging, social media, etc.

Anyone who is accepted as a volunteer will receive free admission to the convention (lunch, banquet, and breakfast not included).

If you are interested please email Mike [email protected] for details. He may also need help on the Sunday of Convention weekend.

As of this date (4/8/12), Mike needs:
37 comm volunteers, and
24 parking volunteers.

If you are interested, please write as soon as possible so ARRL can do good planning. Come on CT, let’s show ARRL we’re proud to have the Convention here and to have Hq in our Section!

Thank you in advance.
