[MNham] Mpls Marathon 6/5/11

[Dave Johnson]

I'm still looking for few good operators for the Mpls Marathon.
Minneapolis Marathon, Half Marathon & Relay 	

Join us for one of the best marathon experiences you'll have all season: The
2011 Minneapolis Marathon & Half Marathon Sunday, June 5th.  The Minneapolis
Marathon
<http://teamortho.us/2010020782/marathon-a-half-course-information.html>
course starts and ends near the Depot Hotel and follows the beautiful banks
of the Mississippi River to Historic Fort Snelling State Park where the
Mighty Mississippi meets the Minnesota River.  Imagine just how beautiful
that will be on a crisp June morning in Minnesota. 

Amateur radio operators will support the medical teams at each mile tracking
runners who drop out for inquiring families and serving as back up medical
communications. Because this is an all amateur runner event, and it is
scheduled in early June, communications teams will need to be particularly
alert to runners in distress. 
 
A radio is required, a handheld dual band radio is preferred. Experienced
hams will be teamed with new hams to ensure maximum learning. Requests will
be honor on a case by case basis. 
 
Let me know if you or your entire radio team from whatever organization can
make this event. Email me at daveej at gmail.com or call me at 763-421-3242.
