When: Monday, April 21st
       6:00 pm until 9:00 pm

Where: Park Lyndon - NORTH
18801 N Territorial Rd
Chelsea, MI 48118

NOTE: There is a SOUTH and a NORTH Park, we will be in NORTH where
there is a Pavilion near the parking lot.

This park is in the boonies North of Chelsea. So it's a bit far
away from A2/Ypsi this time. But is is close for anyone
joining us from the CHELSEA AREA.


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.
