Next ARES Meeting - Wed. April 9th, 2008
Written by ve3lkd   
Monday, 31 March 2008
The next Grey County ARES meeting will held as a joint meeting with the Georgian Bay Amateur Radio Club at the Land Forces Central Area Training Centre (a.k.a. the Meaford Tank Range) Wednesday Apr 9th 2008 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Jon VA3CIC has arranged this unique event for us.  We will be treated to a show-and-tell information session by our hosts.

The Centre is on Grey Road 112 (the old Range Road) running north from Hwy 26 at a point 5 Km from Meaford and 24 Km from Owen Sound. Distance from Hwy 26 to the Centre is 6 km.

While the Centre has an "open base" policy, some conventions have to be observed, i.e. 
 - No Amateur Radio transmissions permitted on base.
 - Cell phones are OK, but reception is marginal.
 - Cameras are OK.
 - It would be prudent to carry your ARES or GBARC club identification.
 - for your vehicles, there is a "no idling" policy as well as a "back in" policy.

We will meet just outside the gatehouse and road barriers. Look for Jon's vehicle, a grey and silver Honda Element.  Get there as close to 6:45 PM as you can. Talk in on 146.940. When we're assembled, we'll play follow the leader to Bldg 210. Don't forget to back into your slot!

MS Super Cities Walk - Sun Apr 13, 2008
Written by ve3lkd   
Monday, 07 April 2008

Grey ARES will be providing communications during the MS Super Cities Walk in Owen Sound on Sunday April 13th.  If you can assist with 2m communications, using your mobile rig or hand-held, your help will be welcome.

We will be meeting at the Owen Sound Legion at 9:00 a.m. while the walkers are registering, and will plan our positions along the 5 km and 10 km routes.  We will meet the St. John Ambulance volunteers and decide who will be stationed with their ambulance crew.  The walk starts at 10:00 and the last walker is usually back in at the Legion by about 12:30. A lunch follows.

The Owen Sound Legion is at 1450 2nd Ave West.  The 5 km route usually goes from the Legion to Kelso Beach Park, down to the Police Station then back to the Legion.  The 10 km route is the same up to the Police Station but then goes to Harrison Park before returning to the Legion. The walk is one of the major fundraisers for the MS Society.

73,
Bob VE3LKD
