Please folks. This is another event of the kind that gives ham radio good publicity and good visibility. 73 Jon, AI1V The American Parkinson Disease Foundation is holding a fund raiser on Oct 6 at Sherwood Island State Park. Part of the fundraiser will be a 1.5 mile walk for people suffering from Parkinson's. For many who suffer from Parkinson's, a 1.5 mile walk IS the equivalent of running a marathon. They will need people watching over them and communicators who can get help to them if they run into trouble. We are looking for 3-4 people to provide communications along the walk from about 10:30am to about noon. You will be on your feet the entire time patrolling a section of the route (much like we do at marathons). There will be a free pizza lunch after the walk. We do understand that there is a SET exercise that day. Since you wouldn't have to be at Sherwood Island until about 10:30am you would have plenty of time to check in to a net or two and then head over to Sherwood Island. Also, the Norwalk analog repeater as well as Wilton and Bridgeport DMR repeaters are accessible from Sherwood Island, so you could even participate in the SET from there while waiting for the walk to start. Parkinson's is an especially tough disease because it is a long, slow, chronic, progressive disease that robs you of your ability to perform common activities like walk, sit up, feed yourself, carry on conversations, do anything useful with your limbs and hands. One of the worst parts of the disease is the non-motor symptoms it causes such as anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Please give us an hour and a half on Sat Oct 6. If you are interested, please reply directly to me. Because it covers a small area without complicated communications, this is an ideal opportunity for relatively new hams to get some experience in public service events. If you know someone who is not on one of these reflectors, please forward this message to them. 73 Jon, AI1V From tom at k1ta.com Thu Oct 4 19:01:09 2018 From: tom at k1ta.com (Tom Alessi) Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2018 19:01:09 -0400 Subject: [CTSARA] VE SESSION SATURDAY 10/6 CANCELLED.

I've got some tree folks coming to my house this week, and felt it was a great time to have them put a couple of pulleys on some trees so I can FINALLY hang my 40m dipole and get back on the air. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this? I'm half thing some straps from REI and caribeaners, but wondering what others have done? Thanks!
