[FARC] A few more ops needed for MS bike event!

[Jeff Fishman]

We still need a few more operators for the MS Bike to Bordeaux event on Sept. 29th. The organizers have requested that all of the seven rest stops be covered and that hams are to only be in three MS SAG vehicles (no personal vehicles). We will be using the  W3ICF 146.730- (141.3) repeater as primary, 146.580 simplex as secondary, and the 147.060+ (123.0) as backup repeater. All of the rest stops are in good locations and a 5W HT should work, but plan on working from your vehicle with a mobile unit. Here are the locations and operating times of the rest stops:

  a.. Walkersville Heritage Farm Park                                  0730-1000
  b.. Grables Commercial Painting, Keymar                         0815-1030
  c.. Taneytown Elem. School                                             0900-1130         covered (W3FJD)
  d.. New Windsor Middle School                                        0930-1230
  e.. Taylorsville UMC                                                         0930-1330
  f.. St. Peter the Apostle Ch., Libertytown                          0815-1000
  g.. Union Bridge Comm. Cntr.                                           0845-1130
Again, the start and finish point is the Linganore Winery, and lunch will be provided at that location. The Taneytown Elem. School is taken but the other locations are available. We would prefer 2 operators at each stop, but we can get by with 1 if necessary. So far, signed up are:

KE3FL

KB3WRT

If you're interested in participating, please email me with your name, amateur call, email address, phone number(s), duty location preferred, and T shirt size. ARES membership is not required. If you want to ride in a SAG, a 2M rig with cigarette lighter plug and mag mount antenna are needed and APRS is preferred. No APRS needed at the rest stops. Thanks.
