[BARC-List] Volunteer registration is open for the BAA 10K, June 21

[Brett Smith]

Hello everyone,

Volunteer registration just opened for the BAA 10K
<http://www.baa.org/races/10k.aspx> on Sunday, June 21. After our
success at the Marathon, this year we’re trying to put together the
biggest team yet to provide comprehensive support for the race medical
team. And in keeping with last year’s good luck, there’s no conflict
with Field Day!

*Don’t delay! The BAA is asking volunteers to register ASAP* so event
planning and logistics can go smoothly. Please feel free to spread the
word with your own clubs and ham friends.

Expect this event to run from approximately 6:00 AM to noon. All you
need to help out is a dual band (2m and 70cm) handheld, preferably with
a gain antenna. To volunteer for the 10K, sign up with the BAA directly
following the instructions below.

 1.

    Go to the BAA 10K volunteer site
    <http://www.baa.org/races/10k/event-information/volunteer-information.aspx>
    and press the “Volunteer Now” button.

 2.

    There are separate buttons for “Returning” and “First Time”
    Volunteers. If you’ve volunteered at a BAA event before, select
    “Returning Volunteer.” If you don’t know your BAA Volunteer Loyalty
    Number, use the button labeled “Retrieve Your Volunteer Loyalty
    Number” to look it up. If it returns a Volunteer Loyalty Number for
    you, fill that in where prompted.

    If the system does not provide you with a Volunteer Loyalty Number,
    or if you have not volunteered at a BAA event before, go through the
    “First Time Volunteers” button on the first page.

 3.

    Complete the personal information.

 4.

    Group status: Ham volunteers don’t need to join any group. You can
    answer “No” to both questions.

 5.

    Assignment request: Select “Ham Radio” from the top pulldown menu on
    the page. You are not required to make any selections on the lower
    menus.

 6.

    Complete the remainder of the application and make note of your
    application acknowledgment number. Seeing a acknowledgment number on
    the page is your indication that you have successfully completed the
    online application.

If you have any questions about the event or the sign-up procedure, feel
free to get in touch with me at ab1rl at brettcsmith.org
<mailto:ab1rl at brettcsmith.org> or (859) 466 5915.

Thank you, and 73,

​
