Volunteers Needed for Big E Ham Booth


The Big E is coming up fast.  The first day is Friday, September 16th. As of right now,  there are 12 clubs and around 110 people signed up to staff the ham radio booth. We are looking for a few more volunteers to help us lock down the schedule. 

Are you available on any of these dates and times?

Each day is broken into two sessions. The first runs 9:30 am through 4 :00 pm and the second runs 3:30 pm through 10:00 pm. The overlap is to help the new arrivals for the 2nd session learn what had been working during the first session so they could continue. The sessions are named Session 1 and Session 2.

Here is where we need volunteers as of right now:

Monday, Sept 19, session 1 - need 2 people

Monday, Sept 19, session 2 - need 3 people

Tuesday, Sept 20, session 2 - need 3 people

Sunday, Sept 25, session 2 - need 3 people

Tuesday, Sept 27, session 2 - need 4 people

Friday, Sept 30, session 2 - need 3 people

Saturday, Oct 1, session 1 - needs 1 person

Sunday, Oct 2 (Final Day), session 1 - needs 2 people

Sunday, Oct 2 (Final session), session 2 - needs 2 people 

Are you available to help? If yes, please volunteer or add a session to what you have already volunteered for.

As a reminder, everyone that volunteers gets their Big E fairgrounds parking reimbursed and their admission reimbursed (or free tickets provided to them).

Thank you and 73,
