We are looking for volunteers for the 2006 MS Challenge walk.
This event takes place on Friday September 29 Saturday September 30
and Sunday October 1 2006. The event starts in northern Virginia and
ends in Washington Dc at the steps of the capitol. This is a fun
filled three day walk to help fight a fast growing problem in the USA.
We need operators that can do Voice mobile and portable from water
and rest stops, also we are looking for bicycles and motorcycle ops.
We would like to implement a tracking system for the SAG vehicles and
supply truck which are Staffed by MS members and are not on our net
they use FRS so we need APRS stations that can digi in the field and
simple tracker boxes for these vehicles, we would also like to have
beacons at the different aid stations along they way.
So here is what we would like you to do. If you can mention this
event at your next club meeting, or om your reflector / mailing list
and encourage your members to volunteer we would greatly appreciate
it. This event is as big as the Marine Core Marathon and last 3 Days!
You can Volunteer for 1 2 or all 3 days it's your choice. Overnight
sleep areas are available with hot showers and food if you want to stay
the night and have a mini camp out event.A flyer for the event
on my website where more details will be posted as we get them.
