Plano Balloon Festival
Sept. 19-21, 2008| Calling all Hams!
We are once again supporting the Plano Balloon Festival on September 19th, 20th and 21st. The event festival is held at Oak Point Park and information regarding the festival can be found: http://www.planoballoonfest.org/ Plano Amateur Radio Klub and other amateurs from the area have been supporting this event for over 20 years. The primary reason is to provide communication and logistical support for the balloonists and organizers of the event. With the event spanning three days, it requires a rather significant effort to coordinate and administer. Operators are required in two general categories, Field and Recovery Operations. We also provide weather monitoring support and act as liaisons to many of the Public Safety agencies supporting the event. In the past we have also used this event to deploy new technology and techniques to validate their operational capabilities. For more information and to SIGN-UP, please visit: To get an idea of what to expect and operational procedures for the recovery portion of the event: We look forward to seeing you this year! |
