April 25th marks another significant event in the Ohio Section, the Ohio NVIS Antenna Day. As you are aware, this day presents an opportunity for enthusiasts to gather and evaluate their antenna configurations.

Kicking off at 10:00 AM, this event is not a formal competition. Its primary objective is to simultaneously engage multiple counties in Ohio, testing their antennas and facilitating communications among them.

We anticipate that this gathering will provide an enjoyable platform for camaraderie, experimentation, and testing within our beloved hobby.

W8SGT at the Ohio EMA will be active and monitoring the following (band conditions permitting)

• 3902
• 7240
• DMR ARES Talkgroup 31395
• 146.760/R PL 123 Columbus

Although the objective is to contact via HF, feel free to call in on DMR or VHF to help schedule your contact.
