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

    When: Monday, January 19th
          6:00 pm until 9:00 pm

   Where: Tefft Park North, Saline (https://maps.app.goo.gl/8CoxukwgjZdUojmX9)

          NOTE: Corner of Textile and Woodland Drive East

                     Meet in the North Part of the Parking lot, next to Roundabout. 

 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 efficient
          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 time 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.
