[K3CAL] CFC BIKE RIDE THANKS

[Kh6cuj at aol.com]

To  All, 
I  just received a phone call from Simone Jewett who is the Development  
Manager Cystic 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 long event,  we could not have 
pulled this off. You all did a great job even with new routes  for all 
courses. 
Special thanks again to Paul Mills (KB3KWT) and Ron Boller (N3WOF)  our 
Dynamic Duo at Net Control. Ron did  the setup for Net Control. Ron and Paul 
did a great job working through the  noisy repeater. 
Special thanks to Rest Stop #3 recording all 65 mile runners and  times. It 
greatly helped us in tracking the bikes to Rest Stop #4. We will do it  
next year and hopefully send the Bike Bib numbers and times to Rest Stop #4. It 
 appears to be a great application for packet. 
Also  special thanks for Jim Tetlow,  K3UGA for following the last bikes to 
within 1.5 miles of the finish  line. 
We could not have pulled this off without the participation of  various 
clubs. Thanks to the following members from the following clubs: Calvert  Radio 
Association ( CARA), Anne Arundel Radio Club (AARC), Maryland Mobileers  
Amateur Radio Club (MMARC), and the Charles County Amateur Radio Club  (CCRC) 
allowing complete coverage of the  course. This was a joint operation and 
hopefully you met Amateur Radio Operators  from other clubs in the area.
