Montgomery Amateur Radio Club
2004 Public Service Communications
Volunteer Sign-Up

Thanks for volunteering!

Our goal is to have every member of MARC support one public service event this year. Of course, you can volunteer for more than one and, if you have not done these in the past, you can get hooked on them because they are fun and provide a lot of personal satisfaction from helping others.

Please enter your information in the form below. The information is important not only so we can contact you, but the information about your capability is important so we can assign you appropriately. This information will be passed to the MARC Public Service Chair or other coordinators. You will be contacted about your assignment prior to the event. Even if you filled out the information last year, it is important that we have the most up-to-date information.

(The * indicates required information. Note that we will keep your information confidential. We will use this information only to allow us to communicate with you regarding Amateur Radio public service activites.))

Please check your capabilities below. Some assignments can be done with only a hand-held radio, while others may need higher power and/or more effective antennas. Either way, you will need to be able to power your radio for a rather full day, so plenty of battery power is important.

(A "portable antenna" is one that could be set up to improve the range of either a mobile or hand-held radio, that is separate from the radio and not a mobile antenna that is mounted on a vehicle. A small beam or other base antenna on a portable mast would qualify, as would something like a j-pole that could be suspended from a nearby tree or other support.)
