[FARC] Call for Help - Presidential Inauguration Communications

[Joseph M. Durnal]

Call for Help - Presidential Inauguration Communications

Planners for crowd safety and logistics support are asking for Amateur
Radio volunteers to work with the SERVE/DC CERT teams both on the Mall
and coordinating Charter Busses and Shuttle Busses for the event.
They anticipate needing somewhere between 75 and 100 operators in
order to provide adequate coverage, reasonable shifts, and necessary
backup & relief.

There aren't a lot of details on what exactly we would be doing, but
we are looking for volunteers.  Since Jeff, KB3FIO does not expect to
be available that day, I've volunteered to head up the call for
volunteers from Frederick County ARES.  Still, the details are not
clear, but we know that the event date is January 20, 2009.

Please let me know if you will be able to help and what equipment you
can have at your disposal (if you can only lend equipment, that might
help too).  I can be reached via e-mail and on my mobile phone number
301-471-2943.
