[K3CAL] CFC Bike Ride & PRAD Parade 2015

[Kh6cuj--- via K3CAL]

To  All, 
This  is second request to provide communications support to the Cystic 
Fibrosis Cycle  (CFC) for Life Bike Ride on Sunday, October 11, 2015 at 
Harrington Harbor South.  Herrington Harbor South is located at: 668 Friendship 
Road, North Beach,  Maryland 20714. 
The  ride as described by the CFC Committee describes the “ride through the 
most  scenic terrain along Maryland’s treasured Chesapeake Bay. CF Cycle 
for Life  features well-stocked rest stops every 10-12 miles, bike mechanics 
along the  route support vehicles, great food and entertainment.” 
There  will be three routes: a 20, 40, and a 60 mile route. This is not a 
race but a  ride. 
This is the CF Cycle for Life web  site:

We plan to have operators at the start/finish, rests stops, support  
vehicles, key intersections, and on support vehicles. Ideally, I would like to  
have 13 operators as a minimum. We especially need a Net Control Operator to  
provide the transceiver and antenna setup to operate at Herrington Harbor. 
Paul  Mills KB3KWT (AARC/Mobileers) will assist at Net  Control. 
To date I have the following  volunteers: 
Chip Dayle      K3AWD 
Paul Mills        KB3KWT (Net Control) 
Ed Noell          KC3EN 
Monica Noell  KC3DAS 
Bob Sheskin    N3PPH 
Ed Zumstein   WB6NCO (Possible) 
This  event is being coordinated by the Calvert Amateur Radio Association 
(CARA). Last  year and hopefully this year we augmented the CARA with the 
Anne Arundel Radio  Club (AARC) and the Maryland Mobileers Amateur Radio Club 
(MMARC) operators.  Hopefully this year we will have participates from the 
St. Mary’s County Amateur  Radio Association (SMCARA). This is truly a joint 
operation and a perfect  opportunity to meet Amateur Radio Operators from 
other clubs in the  area. 
PRAD  PARADE.  We will also need operators for the Patuxent River 
Appreciation Day (PRAD)  Parade in Solomon’s Island on the same day (October 11) as 
the Bike Ride. The  parade starts at 2:00 pm. If you cannot operate at the 
CFC Bike Ride, this is a  shorter event. 
To date we have one volunteer for the  PRAD: 
Dave Weaver W3PQS (Net Control) 
If you are interested  in operating at either of these events, please send 
an Email to: _kh6cuj at aol.com_ (mailto:kh6cuj at aol.com) . 
Aloha, 
Les  Silva

CARA  Public Service Coordinator
