[LeArc] Ham Radio Community Service Activity

[Jesse Risley]

If anyone is interested in helping, Macomb High School will be hosting an 
Illinois High School Association Class 1A Cross Country Regional on October 23 
at Spring Lake Park.  The girls race begins at 10 a.m. with the boys race to 
follow at 10:45 a.m.  



Given our ability to provide what would actually be much welcomed and needed 
communications, the coach is interested in seeing if hams are willing and able 
to participate in this event as course scouts/communications liaisons at various 
points along rural roads near Spring Lake.  If so, we would need to meet at the 
far north campgrounds of Spring Lake park between 9 and 9:30 AM Saturday 
morning.  You would need to bring an HT, and volunteers would be stationed along 
the route at rural posts, as well as at the starting point.

If you have an HT and/or you would be willing to help, please reply to me.  This 
would be a volunteer position at an entirely not-for-profit event, but it is 
community service using ham radio.  I told them that, based on such short 
notice, I couldn't guarantee securing any assistance for Saturday.
