The Veterans Parade is a fun & exciting way to give back & honor those who have served!

It’s so easy, any licensed ham can do it!

  2. Have a quick meeting.
  3. Go to designated staging areas &/or parade route location.
  4. Arrive at designated spot = check-in on net. (Depending on location along parade route, if comfortable, ask people who park on-street to move off parade route.)

Of course, anything you feel needs to be called in, please do! We will have contact with police, fire & ambulance. Parade participants &/or public may come to you for info &/or help. Also if parade committee needs to speed up, slow down or stop the parade, participants will be instructed to follow a ham’s instructions.

What to Wear: Clothes! If you have a “Safety Vest”, we ask you to wear it so you will stand out to participants & public. If you don’t have one, we have loaner vests.

If you want to walk around, you are free to (just don’t wander too far from your designated spot). Want to bring a chair to sit, more than welcome.

What to Bring: An HT that can work on a repeater &/or simplex.

If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to contact us (webmaster is a ham)!!!
