When: Monday, December 15th
       6:00 pm until 9:00 pm

Where: Saginaw Forest Trailhead and Parking

NOTE: Though the "official" address of the forest is
3900 W.Liberty, the "actual" entrance is
the South parking lot near the 2|42 Church at:
648 S Wagner Rd.
Ann Arbor, MI 48103

NOTE: The "Go-Kits On Wheels - Go-KOW" can park along the South end of
the parking lot with antennas in the grassy area.
I hear that one GO-KOW *may* even be HEATED :)

NOTICE !!! This may be the *last* Net on 146.96, so make the most of
it while it is still on the air.


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.
