Food for Soup Kitchen
- They get about 85% of their food Thanksgiving to Christmas. Summertime is very hard for them to make ends meet.
- Boxed Macaroni and Cheese is one of the most needed items.
Snacks to share with the group
All kinds of outdoor stuff: Hat, Gloves, Sunscreen, Bug spray, Rain Gear, Hard-hat, Climbing Belt, Light Coat or Sweatshirt…
Flashlight!
Long pants, socks and close-toed shoes. There's some rough terrain with lots of poison ivy.

Avoid foods that require refrigeration, Cause there isn't any...

For the Nashua Soup Kitchen: Be a "Canned Ham"
- There are hungry people all year round. Bring a can or two and donate it.
- Did you already read that earlier? Did you forget? Hunger is not fun.
For the overnight operators and other insomniacs-coffee, too.
- We need some easy food for the overnighters-anyone want to cook up something?

Callsign and Class (Operating category)
We will be using the club's callsign, N1FD. The Novice/Technician station will be using the callsign TBD. The operating class is 21 Alpha!
We will actually enter the contest as whatever we ran
- it doesn't have to match what we signed

Almost 10 percent of our contacts came from the novice station operating only on 10 meter phone.

Tear-down Crew-please!
- Those who operate overnight may not climb on Sunday!
Backup/relief operators and loggers
- Loggers need not be licensed!
- Great opportunity to see what Amateur Radio is all about
Food preparation
Operator support - Keep em happy and healthy
Ground Crew / Assemblers / Go-fers
Backup climbers
Overnight power and coffee maintainers

Of course! You don't even have to be a ham radio operator
The public is welcome.
Great opportunity to see what Amateur Radio is all about
