[WARC] Weekend On Wheels - Hams Needed

[Len Litvan]

Hello all,

Next weekend, July 31-Aug 2, is Weekend on Wheels in Winona.  As you 
recall, the Winona amateur radio community was requested to provide SAG 
support for the event--following behind the bikers on the various routes 
and calling for assistance needed--mechanics, broken bike 
transportation, medical assistance and other items.  The WARC agreed to 
provide some help and coordination, but involvement in this project is 
not limited to club members.

Amateurs are being asked to provide SAG communications support for two 
routes on Friday and Sunday and three routes on Saturday.  We will also 
need a base station at the WOW start/finish area to communicate needs to 
the event staff.  WOW staff will provide additional SAG support for one 
additional route each day.

Based on current route plans and time estimates, local hams are needed 
for base station and route SAG support as follows (subject to change):

Friday: 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM (latest).
Saturday:  7:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
Sunday:  8:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

I think ham radio operator volunteers are expected to provide our own 
vehicles and gasoline.

You do not need to be a WARC club member to assist with this project.

PLEASE let me know if you can assist and which day.  The times above are 
the latest end times--some routes are shorter and ending times are earlier.

Thanks & 73,
Len KC0RSX
