Congratulations to Michael, K6RQV, on his retirement from the FAA this week. Sydney and I ran into him at Santa Barbara Airport as he was turning in his Airport ID badge.
Enjoy your well-deserved time off!

2021 Wings Over Camarillo Aug 21-22 - Call for volunteers
by Avi Carmi
Hi all,
*Wings Over Camarillo Air Show is on!*
Free entrance to the show, parking, hat, pancake breakfast, lunch, and all
the water and soft drinks you can drink
Stroll through the show and provide eyes/ears/comms
Plan on lots of walking for four hours in the hot August sun.
Bring your HT, headset/earpiece, yellow shirt, communications vest (if you
have one) hat, sunscreen, water, etc
The Ham Radio assignments are password protected, click on the following
link which includes the password:
*Click here to sign up for Ham Radio Operations at Wings Over Camarillo*
<https://woc.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=55545&job_password=ham73>
If you somehow end up at the top-level public landing page
https://woc.volunteerlocal.com click on the "Sign up now" link, which will
take you to the signup form, then enter *ham73* in the password field and
click Submit
Please do not share the password publicly as there are lots of nasty
disruptive people out there :-(
But do feel free to forward this to any ham operator club or group
The instructions on the signup site are "generic", most do not apply to us,
so please follow these instructions to sign up:
1- MAKE SURE to click on the "*view description*" as there are important
assignment notes in there!
2- Check off your desired assignment (or assignments, as long as they are
not both AM or PM shifts, note that I disabled "overlap check" since
schedules do overlap by an hour, you may still sign up for both AM and PM
shifts)
*NOTE: *only the currently* AVAILABLE *assignments are shown by the system,
if you do not see a desired assignment, it means that it is taken
If you cannot sign up for any other time slot/assignment, please contact
me, and I'll see if I can arrange a swap.
*NOTE: *the "gate" position can be an "add on" assignment for a color or a
rover, it entails coming in early and sitting at Gate 7 for about two hours
to check-in ham volunteers, then over to the comm trailer for the briefing
and to your primary assignment, or as another rover/floater/standby
NOTE: new to this year is a show director shadow, which should be a very
exciting close-up assignment, you will have two radios: a commercial show
radio and your ham radio. The Shadow will follow the show director and
provide communication support. you are welcome to sign up for two
consecutive Shadow shifts and stay with the show director for the entire
day.
3- Scroll down to the bottom or the form
4- Fill in your email, name, phone
5- Select "*Avi Carmi K6AVI*" for CWA Job Captain and "*Ham Radio Operators*"
for the CWA Group from the respective pulldown lists
6- Skip the CAF/AAF fields, fill in your birthdate if under 18 (don't you
wish?)
7- Don't forget your *call sign* at the bottom
8- Then check the box and fill your name under the waiver
9- And finally, click the "*Sign Up To Volunteer*" button
you should receive a confirmation email, unfortunately, it will come from
Stephen, the show's volunteer coordinator, not me. (also I do not get any
notification that anyone signed up, only he does...)
a generic map, our sector map, and the parking permit are available on your
volunteer profile page, accessible by clicking the "Check your status here"
button on https://woc.volunteerlocal.com
I will send more detailed directions/instructions prior to the show, but if
you have any questions/concerns/comments, please let me know
73,
-avi
