[ILHam] Ham Radio Volunteers Needed--June 13th (Saturday)--Madison-Chicago 200 Relay

[Neil R. Ormos N9NL]

Dear Cook County ARES Members and Friends:

We're looking for a few good volunteers!

On Saturday, JUNE 13th, hams will be providing
communications support for the Madison-Chicago 200
Relay, a two-day, 200-mile relay race.  This is
one of the largest public service events in the
Midwest, with hams staffing at least 38 different
locations.  In Cook County, we need volunteers at
several sites, from Saturday morning through late
afternoon.

Every public service event offers great
opportunities for the volunteer-minded ham.  You
can practice your communications skills or learn
new ones, work with interesting people, enjoy
using that nifty radio you bought recently, and
provide valuable service to an organization or
agency, all while demonstrating the unique
capabilities of amateur radio to the public.

Whether you're an OM or a YL, a Technician or an
Extra, newly licensed or a grizzled veteran,
there's a place for you in this exciting public
service event!  If you can help, or you'd like
more information, please drop me a line.

Thanks and 73,
