[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Volunteer Amateur Radio Operators Needed – Cherry Blossom 10 Miler (April 12, 2026)

[Joe Porcelli]

Dear Alexandria Radio Club Members,

I am writing to request Amateur Radio volunteer support for the Cherry
Blossom 10 Miler, taking place on Sunday, April 12, 2026.

We are seeking licensed ham radio operators to serve as the “eyes and ears”
along the race course, providing real-time reporting and communications
support. For those who have previously volunteered at the Marine Corps
Marathon, these assignments are very similar to staffing mile marker
positions.

If you are interested in volunteering, please register using the link
below:

<https://cucb.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=98743> *

You will be prompted for a password during registration. The password is:
*WALKIETALKIE*

This is a fun, well-organized event and a great opportunity to support a
major community race while putting your radio skills to good use.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to reach
out to me directly at porcej at gmail.com.

Thank you for your continued support of public service communications, and
I hope to see many of you out on the course.

73,
Joe Porcelli, KT3I
