>Greetings,  My name is Bill Ziegler, W0ZIG.  I am a member of the Maryland 
>Mobileers ARC and ARES here in Anne Arundel County.  I respectfully 
>request to use the CCARC's 145.410 repeater on July 24 (primary) and as a 
>secondary (backup) repeater on July 25, to provide a comms safety net for 
>a multi-day bike ride.
>
>A non-profit organization called "One-Less-Car", which promotes bicycle 
>safety and education, is sponsoring Cycle Across Maryland (CAMs) on a six 
>day bicycle ride starting at Leonardtown and finishing at Columbia.  I 
>have volunteered to help and with a few other Hams will set up sites at 
>the Host site, rest areas, and have a few Hams on the road in vehicles 
>supporting the ride.  Communications usually start around 0800 and secure 
>around 1630.  Though I am a member of ARES and the MMARC, I am doing this 
>event on my own with no affiliation from them.
>
>I plan to exchange comms on simplex whenever possible, but I have found 
>Maryland to have plenty of small hills which require coverage by repeaters 
>for reliable communications.  Our comms are not intense, mostly exchange 
>of information such as where the most bicyclist are at and if there are 
>any mechanical or medical problems.  I would anticipate we would use the 
>repeaters throughout the day.  I would announce ourselves and the event 
>and unless we had priority traffic, would work around normal repeater users.
