There are several upcoming events that desire ham radio support. Please
consider joining us for these activities. They provide good experience
that is applicable to emergency incidents, should we be called upon to
provide services. It is a good chance to sharpen your skills and to
check out equipment. And you will likely have fun doing it. The only
requirements for the activities listed are an amateur radio license
(Technician or higher) and a transceiver capable of operation on two
meter FM. (If you do not possess a radio, yet, a loaner can be arranged).
Sunday, October 10 Dayton River Corridor Classic Half Marathon and 5k
Volunteers assemble at 8:00 AM (9:00 starting gun); timing closes at
NOON, so the last assignment should be done by then.
Start and finish are at Welcome Stadium (Edwin C Moses Blvd). Course
goes North to Stewart, crosses the river, and heads South along the bike
path to the halfway point. The runners turn around and reverse the path
back to the stadium.
We could use a number of bicycle mobile operators to patrol the course.
