Subject: [FARC] Tour de Frederick Hams STILL Needed!
Message-ID: <008c01d1f004$1435ca60$3ca15f20$@comcast.net>

Guys,

We still really need 3 to 4 more hams to ride in the SAG/Sweep vehicles (see
below). If you don't have a rig or antenna, we can find one for you to use.
Please contact me ASAP if you can help.

Jeff KB3FIO



The Frederick Amateur Radio Club and Frederick ARES will again this year be
providing communications support for the Tour de Frederick on Saturday,
August 13th. This year, the Start and Finish is at the AOPA Hangar at the
Frederick Airport, and the individual races start at 0630, 0730, and 0900
(100, 60, and 30 mile), and all races will conclude by 1500.

 

The emphasis this year will be to have you ride shotgun in up to 9 SAG and
Sweep vehicles, rather than at the rest stops as we did last year. We will
be using the Thurmont 147.195+ (PL 179.9) repeater, with the MADXRA 147.060
machine as a backup. We will ask operators to provide their own 2M rigs with
a cigarette lighter plug and a quick mount (mag or clip-on, etc.) antenna.
The coverage on the Thurmont repeater is very good, so you'll probably only
need to use 1-5 watts to communicate, so a higher power HT w/outside antenna
should also work. Let me know if you really want to use your own vehicle,
and we also have a few mag-mount antennas to loan.

 

We'll do our best to keep the shifts reasonable so you don't have to operate
all day (unless you want to!). Please let me know the following:

.         Your name and call

.         Radio and antenna you'll be using

.         When you're available

.         Your cell number and email

.         Your T shirt size (FREE T SHIRTS!)

.         Your blood type (just kidding, hi, hi)

 

As always, you don't have to be a member of FARC, ARES, or any other amateur
group to participate, just a community minded ham wishing to help a worthy
local cause, and all proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Frederick
County.

 

Thanks.

 

73,

One last call for HAMs to volunteer at the Tour du Frederick. This is a
fund raising event for the boys and girls club of Frederick.  The heat this
weekend promises to have the volunteer HAMs in demand.  We  have extra SAG
vehicles due to the heat, and we need more HAMs to ride along.

So if you want to show up on Saturday to help out please do.  We will be
located at the AOPA community building ( 296 Bucheimer Rd, Frederick, MD
21701 )  When you show up ask for the communications center (look for the
antennas near the building).

The HAMs will be paired with SAG drivers.  The briefing for the SAG drivers
and HAMs for each race starts at

5:45am - Century (100mi)
6:15am - Metric (60mi)
8:45am - Club (30mi)

The race ends at 3 pm.

If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Fishman KB3FIO,
ljfish1 at comcast.net, or myself, sean at ne3rd.us.

Hi there-

Geoff, NE3K here. Just got back on the air on VHF/UHF and D-Star, and have already loaded in the 444.8 machine. 

I was wondering if someone could help me with the rig I have, ID-5100.


I've read a bunch of stuff on D-Star, but as far as setting up the UR, RPT1, RPT2, and what the different things I keep seeing go across the screen mean, I'm a little behind the curve.

Thanks,

Geoff, NE3K

Subject: [FARC] Gran Fondo Hams Needed!
Message-ID: <003401d20402$bd91f270$38b5d750$@comcast.net>


Now that we've all had time to cool off and catch our breaths from the Tour
de Frederick, here's the final bike event for the year. The Frederick
Amateur Radio Club and Frederick ARES will again this year be providing
communications support for the Gran Fondo Bike Race on Sunday, September
18th. This year, the Start and Finish is at the Frederick Visitor Center,
151 S. East St., and the individual races start at 0730 (100, 60, and 30
mile), and all races should conclude by 1500. The routes are new this year,
so go to https://granfondonationalchampionshipseries.com/frederick-md-2/ for
the maps.
 

The emphasis this year will be to have you ride shotgun in 3 to 4 SAG and
Sweep vehicles, and at the rest stops as we did last year. We will be using
the Thurmont 147.195+ (PL 179.9) repeater, with the MADXRA 147.060 machine
as a backup. We will ask operators to provide their own 2M rigs with a
cigarette lighter plug and a quick mount (mag or clip-on, etc.) antenna.
The coverage on the Thurmont repeater is very good, so you'll probably only
need to use 1-5 watts to communicate, so a higher power HT w/outside antenna
should also work. Let me know if you really want to use your own vehicle,
and we also have a few mag-mount antennas to loan.

 

If you're available, please let me know the following:

.         Your name and call

.         Radio and antenna you'll be using

.         When you're available

.         Your cell number and email
 

As always, you don't have to be a member of FARC, ARES, or any other amateur
group to participate, just a community minded ham wishing to help provide
safety and support to local cyclists. 

* OF ADDITIONAL INTEREST - We've been asked to participate in a major Search
and Rescue Exercise in Catoctin Park on Nov. 4th and 5th, involving teams
and agencies from across the state. This will be an excellent opportunity to
show how we can help in a realistic scenario. More information to follow in
September.

Thanks.
