Radio Operators needed for Walk MS: Fargo 2020

Ten amateur radio operators (hams) are needed to provide communications support for Walk MS: Fargo 2020 on April 25th, 2020 at Courts Plus Community Fitness, Fargo.

Radio operators interested in volunteering for this event should attend the March business meeting or contact for more information.

Sunday Night NCS Operators Needed For 2020

Net Control Station (NCS) Operators are needed for the 2020 Sunday Night VHF/UHF nets.

NCS operators call the net to order at its designated start time, periodically call for participants to join, listen for check-ins, keep track of the roster of stations for that particular net session, and generally orchestrate the operation of the net.

Serving as an NCS operator is a great way to overcome mic-fright, prepare for Public Service Communication events or deployments, and hone your skills as a radio operator.
