[Kh6cuj at aol.com]

CFC BIKE RIDE VOLUMTEERS,
 
Below is the my Thank You for the support of the CFC Bike Ride. THANK YOU  
CARA volunteers. Having two events going on the same day made it real tough 
to  adequately cover all the support requirements.
 
If if weren't for those CARA volunteers and other operators from various  
clubs in Maryland we could not of pulled it off.
 
Aloha,
Les

Subj: CFC BIKE RIDE - THANKS



To  All, 
I  just received a phone call from Simone Jewett who is the Development  
ManagerCystic Fibrosis Foundation,  Maryland  Chapter and the Race Director 
for the CFC Bike Ride that we worked  yesterday. 
Simone wanted me to pass on big THANK YOU for our work in  keeping the 
course safe and hope we can do it again next  year. 
Also thanks from me for making my job a lot easier. Without using  your 
valuable free time to do this event, we could not have pulled this  off. 
Special thanks to Paul Mills (KB3KWT) and Ron Boller (N3WOF) our  Dynamic 
Duo at Net Control. Both  Paul and Ron did their usual phenomenal 
performance. Thanks to Keith Miller  (AE3D) for being flexible and moving around to 
fill some critical locations on  the course. Lastly, I have to recognize a real 
Trooper, Monica Noel (KC3EN)  who checked herself out of the hospital just 
to do this race. Monica’s and  Ed’s was the second to last location to shut 
down. Finally, we can’t forget  Shawn’s “Heroes” (AE3D) at Rest Stop #2 
for getting the PORTA-POTTY in its  upright position before the start of the 
bike  ride. 
Although  this  event was coordinated by the Calvert Amateur Radio 
Association (CARA), we  could not have done this without the participation of 
various clubs. Covering  two events, the Patuxent River Appreciation Day Parade 
and the CFC Bike Ride  on the same day did not help. 
Thanks to the following club members: CARA, Anne Arundel Radio  Club 
(AARC), Maryland Mobileers Amateur Radio Club (MMARC), and the Columbia  Amateur 
Radio Association for allowing us to have complete coverage of the  course. 
This was a joint operation and hopefully you met Amateur Radio  Operators 
from other clubs in the area. 
Thanks to the use of the CARAs repeater to provide voice and  digital 
coverage (APRS) for the Bike Ride. The repeaters worked  flawlessly. 
We had the following operators around the  course: 
Bruce Becker                N3KNP (Rest Stop #3) 
Ron Boller                    N3WOF (Net Control)              
Chip Dayle                   K3AWD (Hunting Creek)
