All,

We are in a desperate need for volunteers for MHM – particulalry LCOs and RSOs.

We have drivers for the trailer – thanks Ken and Ken – and some setup and Pad Managers.

However, we don’t have anyone to press the button. Check out the Volunteer Schedule link on the left side of the webpage and see if there is a place you can help. (pop-ups need to be enabled to view the schedule – try CTRL-click you you cannot see the pop-up).

Let me know if you can help and I will update the schedule.

Thanks,

Ed

Ed, at this point in time, I don’t know if I can make it, but if I can, count me in to RSO, most likely Saturday after I get there in the morning… or help anyone out… including Joe or JW. With the moisture, I think, the site has received, we should be pretty “fire-unfriendly.”

As always, you know I am LCO Saturday morning from 8 until noon or 2. Guaranteed…. I will need 2 RSO’s and a couple of pad managers.

I’d be happy to LCO or RSO some as needed, but I can’t promise a specific time (my first priority is my L3 and a couple of alphabet flights, but after that I’ll be free to LCO).

As for RSO, it would be nice if this year we had the RSO set up with the flight cards in a tent slightly distanced from the pad lines (as is often done at large events), as in the past, it has been easy to bypass the RSO without realizing it. While the semi-RSOless situation works for small club launches, it would be nice if it were a bit more organized at Mayhem and Oktoberfest.

If we separate the RSO from the flight line, he may be easier to pass by. The best run NCR event was Okfest ’08, IMHO. I took my rocket out, the RSO checked over it, signed off… the pad manager assigned the pad, and the LCO pushed the button. That was the most efficient I’ve seen us. What happens more often than not is that the RSO assigns the pad, which he shouldn’t, nor should the LCO. It should be up to the pad managers. ❓ Plus, we have jackets to wear that indicate the position we’re performing at the time. We need to wear them.
