[Don Carlson - KQ6FM]

Here, below, is the information on a great event coming up in September.  If you want to combine a little vacation travel into working a great event, this may be well worth your time.   Please deply directly to Tim (info at bottom), since I am just doing a relay for him and am not in charge of coordination for the event.   
Thanks and 73    -- Don Carlson, KQ6FM


Silver State Classic Challenge – Radio Volunteers Needed
13 positions needed.  8 are filled as of 11 Aug.
 
Greetings,
 
Most hams receiving this are familiar with this popular event.  If you have questions, please send me a note or give me a call quickly.  The roster must be set in two weeks.  This is a fantastic weekend event for enjoying fast cars speeding down an open road and challenging your amateur radio equipment, and ham radio communication skills.    If you are a rookie to this event we can team you up with an experienced operator. There are provisions to help reimburse some gas expenses for the trip to Ely and lodging.  
 
If you live in Las Vegas, you most likely would depart Las Vegas Saturday morning about 7:00 am, arrive for the Ham Brief in Ely at 12:00 noon, then enjoy the other activities of the event in Ely.  Rise Sunday morning to be on the course by 5:00 am, work the event from 6:00 to 2:00pm, (with no race delays).  You may attend the 7:00 pm awards banquet at Sam’s Town if you wish, reservations required, talk to me (It's a hoot).  100 Norwegians and their car are coming, Japanese and Germans press as well.  Check the website for the Schedule of Events.  Bring your cameras!

 One ham and a spouse, significant other, or a friend is a great team. I’ll team you with another ham if you want to come alone.  If you would like to participate in this event, send me a note quickly (ASAP).
