[CTSARA] Thank You to B4B Volunteers

[Jon Perelstein]

I'm a little late in getting this out and I apologize.

This past Sunday a crew of hams from the local area provided radio comms
for the Bike 4 Bikes charity bike event.  We covered 2 SAG wagons, 3 Scout
cars, and two rest stops along a 100 kilometer route.  Because of all the
bad weather in the week before the event, and because of the cold and
clouds on the morning of the event, event turnout was down substantially
from last year - but the hams were out there doing our thing and making
sure that the riders were taken care of.

This year we used the CT ARES DMR network to provide coverage to an area up
in Redding/Easton that is blocked from the analog repeaters in the area.
We were able to get good comms up there on the Wilton DMR repeater.

Thanks to the following ham participants:
