A reminder that if you have a State activation pending in your
future and you do not have an established scheduling program for
your operators, feel free to contact OK SM Mark Kleine who has
developed the predominant VOTA scheduling program currently in use.
Twenty-five States or Territories have adopted it for their use
as of this email. Some have requested minor modification for their
State/Territory, modifications that Mark has readily granted.
Mark's contact information appears below. The scheduling program
is free to all who wish to use it — just contact Mark.

Mark Kleine, N5HZR, Oklahoma West Gulf Division Section
Manager and Oklahoma VOTA State Coordinator, has developed a
superb and easy to use interactive, on-line sign-up
sheet for VOTA State Coordinators to use to simplify the process
of scheduling volunteer W1AW/x portable operators. It
significantly automates obtaining sign-ups and capturing the
information needed by a State Coordinator.
Mark has offered to make it available to anyone in the ARRL
for their use. I have advised Bob Naumann and Bart Jahnke that
Mark is willing to permit the League to offer it on the ARRL's
website. However, you or your designated State Coordinators may
contact Mark directly to arrange to use it.
Oh, ask him about the automated email reminder the program is
capable of generating for each scheduled operator.
If you wish to see how it operates you may go to either:
If you do, please don't sign yourself up — both
sites are live and in active use. If you do sign yourself up,
expect representatives of the Five Nations to appear at your
doorstep with freshly forged Wouff Hongs.
If you are interested, please contact Mark Kleine directly at:
