Native Plants and Prairies Day
Saturday, May 4, 2024
10:00 am to 3:00 pm
The White Rock Lake Amateur Radio Club, WA5WRL, has been requested to support the radio communications for the Native Plants and Prairies Day held at the Bath House Cultural Center.

HOURS OF SUPPORT:
  • 09:00 - 16:00, covered by two shifts

  • 2nd Shift: 12:30 - 16:00 (teardown starts at 15:00)
NET OPERATIONS: All radio net operations will be by UHF simplex, 446.025 MHZ. Since all support will be within 1/2 mile of the Bath House, 3+ watt HTs are more than adequate for portable operations. An Event Operations Center (EOC) will be established in front of the Bath House building and will use a 10 watt radio.
