This is a call for Volunteers for the KHS Warrior Classic. This event will be held on 01 November 2025. Location is at Darling Stadium in Hampton VA. Onsite arrival time will be 12:00. Early, for parking purposes. Exit time for the event will be 19:00 to 21:00. If this time changes, due to the number of bands scheduled to perform, a note will be posted with this time change.

       

         Please wear weather appropriate clothing, reflective coats or vests, hats, gloves. Have your HT, programmed with the used repeater/simplex frequencies (listed below). Bring extra batteries for your radio.  Bring a lighted wand. Bring your name tag on a lanyard.

         Make sure that you have both the 145.49 (100 tone) and the 146.73 (100 tone) repeaters programmed into your radio. We will be using 147.555 (no tone) simplex for operations at this event. This will be a tactical net event.

         The following list of simplex frequencies are used by our clubs at our events. All are simplex with no tone. Make sure that you have all of these programmed into your HT's/mobile and home radio's.

        146.52, 146.460, 146.550, 148.580, 147.405, 147.555

       There will also be an integration of GMRS users involved, so if you have that capability, bring the appropriate HTs, and spare batteries, or mobile radios. Use of GMRS will be determined on site, with consideration of volunteers who are capable in this band. Integrating     GMRS into our reporting will allow GMRS volunteers, who do not have Amateur Radio licenses, to participate.

       The Band Boosters will provide a meal ticket for 1 meal. These meal tickets will be available from Milly K4MMR, at the check in area. There are a variety of items available to purchase at the concession stand.      

       Those of you who have worked this event before, and you have a preferred assignment, indicate that, when you post that you are available in this message.

       This is a manpower heavy event, so if you are available, you will be needed.
