>> Greetings,
>>
>> Frederick County ARES has been asked by the One Less Car group to provide 
>> communications for the 2008 Cycle Across Maryland (CAM), July 25-27, 
>> starting and ending at Mt. Saint Mary's University (MSM) in Emmitsburg. 
>> This is the largest public service event commitment in terms of operator 
>> hours in recent memory, and it will require the combined efforts of a 
>> number of volunteer radio operators from Friday to Sunday. We will have 
>> our Net Control operations based at Mt. Saint Mary's with 2-3 rest stop 
>> locations and 2-4 SAG vehicles which will require at least 1 operator at 
>> each post in approx. 2 1/2 to 3 hour shifts. Radios and APRS equipment 
>> will be provided at MSM and in the SAG vehicles (APRS to track vehicle 
>> location), but rest stop operators will be asked to use their own 2M 
>> radios. The primary repeaters we will use will be  Frederick 146.730- 
>> (141.3) on Fri. and Sun., and Gettysburg 145.350- (103.5) on Sat. Back-up 
>> simplex frequency will be 146.580. Most of the Fri. and Sun. routes will 
>> be in Frederick County, MD, and most of the Sat. route will be in Adams 
>> County, PA. (I guess they should really call it Cycle Across 
>> Maryland/Pennsylvania!)
>>
>> Here's where and when we still need people:
>>
>> Friday-
>> SAG-B  1230-1600
      SAG-C  0930-1230,1230-1600
     SAG-D  0630-0930, 0930-1230, 1230-1600
>> Saturday-
>> Distelfink Restaurant (Shrivers Corners, PA)   0915-1130, 1130-1400
>> SAG-B  1430-1700
      SAG-C  0600-0900, 0900-1200, 1430-1700

>> Union Bridge Volunteer FD   0915-1100
>> SAG-B & C   0630-0930, 0930-1300

>> All licensed amateurs are invited to volunteer, and ARES membership is 
>> not required. SAG vehicles will be provided by and driven by CAM 
>> volunteers. Food will be provided.
>>
>> Please contact me if you have any questions or would like to sign up for 
>> a shift or two. This is a great opportunity to help a worthy cause and 
>> hone our emcomm skills. For more information about the CAM go to 
>> www.onelesscar.org/CAM/2008/.
