***********************************************

When: Monday, October 20th
       6:00 pm until 9:00 pm

Where: MONTIBELLER PARK
  4305 Ellsworth Rd
    Ypsilanti, MI 48197


NOTE: The park sits behind the Meijer's on Carpenter Road but you
    enter off of Ellsworth from either side of the Fire Department. 
AC power is available on the back of the bathroom building (and
maybe in the Pavilion, too).

ADDITIONAL:  We will be a stone's throw from the WoTo AREDN node.
          Bring along your AREDN nodes set to Channel -2 and 10 MHz BW.
          There may be a webpage configured as a "Service" on the
network, and we hope to also have a working "PTZ" camera.
We also hope to have a "Chat" server available.
Those with MESHTASTIC should be able to reach the W0T0 node.


Purpose: AMPteam Outings take place once every month all year
long, rain or shine. We gather at a common location, set up and
operate portable HF, VHF, and Microwave stations. This provides
an opportunity to hone our skills in rapid and efficiant
deployment of Amateur Radio stations in the field in what are
oftentimes non-optimum conditions.

Readiness: Regular practice results in better preparedness to respond to
deployments in any times of emergency. By participating you
will improve your skills for events such as OHR, POTA, SOTA,
Red-Cross Shelters, SHTF, etc. And this better prepares us
for the annual "Field Day" event.

Go-Kits: Our "Go-Kits" get better and better each time we do an
   AMPteam Outing.  We get better at *not* leaving items
     behind and assuring we have everything we need to make a
deployment. A certain "competition" naturally occurs as
team members strive to create the best Go-Kit, ever! :)


Having something to set up is *NOT* a requirement.  Simply come on out to
mingle, exchange ideas, learn, and to just have FUN!!!  When 8pm rolls around,
we all check in to the ARROW Monday Night Net on the 146.96 MHz repeater.
