Guys,

We still really need 3 to 4 more hams to ride in the SAG/Sweep vehicles (see below). If you don't have a rig or antenna, we can find one for you to use. Please contact me ASAP if you can help.

The Frederick Amateur Radio Club and Frederick ARES will again this year be providing communications support for the Tour de Frederick on Saturday, August 13th. This year, the Start and Finish is at the AOPA Hangar at the Frederick Airport, and the individual races start at 0630, 0730, and 0900 (100, 60, and 30 mile), and all races will conclude by 1500.

The emphasis this year will be to have you ride shotgun in up to 9 SAG and Sweep vehicles, rather than at the rest stops as we did last year. We will be using the Thurmont 147.195+ (PL 179.9) repeater, with the MADXRA 147.060 machine as a backup. We will ask operators to provide their own 2M rigs with a cigarette lighter plug and a quick mount (mag or clip-on, etc.) antenna. The coverage on the Thurmont repeater is very good, so you'll probably only need to use 1-5 watts to communicate, so a higher power HT w/outside antenna should also work. Let me know if you really want to use your own vehicle, and we also have a few mag-mount antennas to loan.

We'll do our best to keep the shifts reasonable so you don't have to operate all day (unless you want to!). Please let me know the following:

 * Your name and call
 * Radio and antenna you'll be using
 * When you're available
 * Your cell number and email
 * Your T shirt size (FREE T SHIRTS!)

As always, you don't have to be a member of FARC, ARES, or any other amateur group to participate, just a community minded ham wishing to help a worthy local cause, and all proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Frederick County.

Thanks.
73,
