Ham Radio participation in these events is a
win-win for everyone.  An organization gets a
valuable communications service that helps make
their event safer and more efficient.  We hams get
the opportunity to exercise our equipment and
practice our skills.  And we also get to show Ham
Radio off to the public in the most favorable
light.

Won't you please help with these events that make
the Amateur Radio Service look so great in the
eyes of the public?

Thanks and 73,
