Trap + 5-Stand season will start on the weekend after Easter and run through the weekend after Columbus Day (weather and staff permitting). That's 27 total weekends for the season - with one taken off for ARRL Field Day - and we need lots of capable ROs to make this happen. NEWCOMERS ARE WELCOME, and will be trained and paired with experienced ROs.
- We each need to take on at least two or three Trap days (Sundays 1pm-3pm) - same as last year
- We still need more people trained and willing to do 5-Stand days (Saturdays 9am-12pm) - last year was pretty good, and this year can be even better!
Don't know how to run the 5-Stand gear yet? No problem! You will be paired with someone who does, and you will learn quickly. It's not all that difficult, and it's actually a lot of fun.
Still don't want to run the 5-Stand gear? No problem! There's lots of other work to do, such as...
- Coordinating a work party in the Spring, Summer, or Fall (we could use about three in total)
- Whatever else we can think of, like cleaning and stocking the water fridge, cleaning and organizing the trap shed, volunteering for an occasional cookout (breakfast or lunch) at the trap field, running some fun competitions, conducting trap "info sessions" for new shooters, etc.
On to the questions...
