We will have a net in place of the usual meeting. Please join us.

Also, the following information was provided in the newsletter, but in 
case you missed it:

Field Day 2020

ARRL Field Day is the usual fourth full weekend in June which places it 
on June 27–28.

I have reserved our usual location (Beavercreek Fire Station 61, 2195 
Dayton Xenia Rd), but we have been asked to significantly scale back the 
activity. Since then, Governor DeWine has modified his order regarding 
the assembly of groups, but the fire department has not yet established 
a new rule.

What I can state is that we plan to have a Field Day operation, but it 
is too soon to predict what level of activity will take place. 
Typically, we put three stations on the air, but most of the people who 
show up come for the picnic. Last year, we had 73 people sign the log 
and, as it stands at present, we will not be allowed to host that many. 
As of right now, a picnic is out of the question, but I am scheduled to 
speak with the fire department staff next week and we will see what can 
be arranged. If a picnic as part of Field Day is not possible, perhaps 
we can have a club picnic later in the summer.

It may be necessary to have a schedule of who can operate when in order 
to assure the proper social distance. Be thinking about what might be 
appropriate for you.

If you have thoughts or suggestions regarding Field Day, send a message 
to n8ado at arrl.net <mailto:n8ado at arrl.net>. Please, no comments about the 
political situation behind all of this.

I will update the status via email when I know more. Also check the 
XWARN Facebook page.

Air Force Marathon 2020

Plans are currently moving forward toward having the Air Force Marathon 
on Saturday, September 19. Within the next two weeks, the director plans 
to make an announcement regarding whether or not these plans will 
continue. Our group of skilled and dedicated ham radio volunteers are 
considered critical to the safe conduct of the race. It takes over 60 
operators to make this happen and all volunteers are welcome regardless 
of experience or equipment.

Registration is now open! All volunteers need to register, even if you 
normally have base access.
