Flying Pig XII -- volunteer registration is OPEN! By: n8tfd/Steve  on: Wed 03 Feb, 2010 [22:45 UTC]  (4 reads) Volunteer registration is OPEN! It will be handled online again this year. The link is: http://www.doitsports.com/volunteer/join-protected-group.tcl?event_id=54204 The group name is "Queen City Emergency Net". The password is "HAM". You will then be prompted for: Name, Address, City/State/Zip, gender, DOB, e-mail, phone, t-shirt size. Relative to "Date of Birth" — if you'd like to keep this confidential — that's fine...some number needs to be in there to certify you are either over 18, or over 14 (with parental/guardian consent). If you have any technical or other issues with the process, please let me know. Oh yeah, and please recruit someone new! :-) The January Listening Post By: n8tfd/Steve  on: Wed 13 Jan, 2010 [19:02 UTC]  (46 reads) The January Listening Post can be found here Ohio Section Journal posted By: n8tfd/Steve  on: Tue 08 Dec, 2009 [04:23 UTC]  (26 reads) The quarterly edition of the Ohio Section Journal has been posted online here.
