[TCARES 0830] 2019 Wabash River Ride

[Earle Nay]

Wabash River Ride  -  Saturday, AUG 24  -

The Wabash River Cycle Club is asking for help again this year with
communications for their annual Wabash River Ride. Hundreds of cyclists are
expected to travel up to more than 100 miles through Tippecanoe, Fountain,
and Warren counties, with marginal to no cell phone coverage in many areas.
This poses a safety risk for those participating, and presents a challenge
for event coordinators.
Please consider volunteering to help provide amateur radio communications
for this event on Saturday, August 24.

Earle Nay, AB9EN, is coordinating the logistics for this operation, and
needs everyone who is planning to help to fill out a very brief
registration form (below).
16-20 amateurs are needed to help provide communications for this event.
Those who can volunteer to drive their own vehicle (large enough to
accommodate 3-4 people, plus a couple of bicycles) as a SAG wagon are also
needed. Please consider helping to provide amateur radio public service
communications for this worthy cause.

Contact Earle, AB9EN with any questions: fenay1 at gmail.com

IMPORTANT: If you plan to help, please fill out the registration form below
and reply to fenay1 at gmail* ASAP* so we can make the necessary plans.
