[FARC] Hike Across Maryland Update - May 7 - all day

[Joseph M. Durnal]

The response has been great - a big thank you to the amateur community
for your efforts.  I still have some weakness in the roster, so take a
look  at the link and see if there's somewhere you'd like to help.

I'm getting more ambitious with the APRS component and I'd like to put
APRS in places that I hadn't planned.  So if you have an APRS HT, and
you see a spot on the schedule without a -6, there'll be no harm in
doubling up.  I could use an APRS HT op with N3RO at the Boonsboro
Road checkpoint, and an APRS HT op for the early part of the Weaverton
checkpoint.

Where are the checkpoints?  Here are some directions:

We still may need an able bodied APRS op to hike the 10 mile segment
from Washington Monument State Park to Gathland State Park (a
wonderful hike).

I hope to have a good information packet for all volunteers in 7 to 10 days.
