35th Annual Anchorage Walk for Hope, Saturday May 1, 2004

This is our working document for the communications support for the 2004 
Walk for Hope.  This is version 2 with the returning volunteers plugged in. 
 Please verify your assignments and advise if any other changes are needed. 


Anyone who would like to help with the comms please email me at: 
[email protected] or call 337-1091 with any preference for assignment.  We 
would like to involve as many first time volunteers as possible and try to 
place them with veterans. These are long shifts and you may wish to have a 
second operator.  You may also split a shift if you find someone to relieve 
you.  We need to have all of the check stations covered at all times, so 
plan to stay if your relief is late or no show.   Contact net control if 
you have an emergency and we will find a substitute to fill in.

Notes

The West Side Community Patrol may also provide sweeps for the event. They 
will be communicating on an 800MHz trunked radio system.  A trunked radio 
is in the CCV to facilitate coordination.

REACT may also be staffing some of the checkpoints and using a GMRS repe  
ater at Arctic Valley, if it is working.  The repeater is narrow band FM on 
462.675 (467.675 up) with a 141.3 Hz PL. There is a GMRS radio in the CCV 
that we will use to coordinate with them.
