HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT NOTES REGARDING THIS OPERATION:
• The museum will be open to the public during our operation.
As such, if someone from the public comes to the radio room to see it,
they will take precedence over our operation while the radio room volunteers show them the room.
• Because the radio room itself is fairly small and full of display radio gear and memorabilia,
we will need to limit the number of people in the room at any one time to the actual operators and loggers.
The hallway outside the room and possibly an adjacent conference room will be available for us to gather when not operating.
• There is no food or drink allowed in the museum proper,
so we will need to contain our coffee and donuts to the area(s) indicated by the museum volunteers.
• Enter the building via the steps on the north side of the building, from Michigan Street.
• As we will be guests of the museum, we will need to be respectful of our surroundings and what they represent.
This will be a great opportunity for anyone who hasn’t seen the IWM to take it in.

It is truly a magnificent building and museum
Since this facility is in downtown Indy, parking will be limited to meters on the street or garage parking.
