1) The next monthly Hospital Simplex Net will be on Saturday June 17th starting at 10:30am. Dave Leimenstoll, N9XOQ, will be hosting from Hendricks Regional Health Hospital and Jake Stellmack, KI6PKV, from IU West Hospital. The day of the week was changed in hopes of bringing more check-ins than in the past. Monthly simplex nets are held on 147.570MHz. These nets allow us to check the performance and capability of our radios on a simplex frequency with hams in and around Hendricks County. This is important so that we will be ready when called upon during an emergency or disaster.
2) The 2017 Indianapolis Hamfest, sponsored by the Indianapolis Amateur Radio Association, is a two day event. It stars on Friday July 7th and ends on Saturday July 8th . It will be held at the Marion County Fairgrounds, located at 7300 East Troy Avenue. Talk in will be on the 146.76 repeater. For more information go to www.indyhamfest.com or contact Bill Akin, K9YDO, at wtakins@gmail.com or by phone at 317-829-6868.

Arrangements need to be made ASAP to get the photo taken. You will need your NEW ARES photo id in order to be deployed to in the field.
6) If you are a Ham residing in Hendricks County, and would be interested in working amateur radio emergency communications with a local hospital, we would like to have you as part of our team. Please contact the Hendricks County ARES Emergency Coordinator, Ron Burke - KB9DJA, at kb9dja@gmail.com.
