> Hi Erich,

> Each year, the Boston Athletic Association hosts its Half-Marathon http://www.baa.org/races/half-marathon.aspx  with a scenic course around Boston’s Emerald Necklace. This year’s race is Sunday, October 12 (on Columbus Day weekend), and the medical team would like at least twenty hams to support their communications and logistics. I hope you’ll join us—it’s a great event, and a great opportunity for ham radio to contribute to the community.
> 
> Expect this event to run from approximately 6:30 AM to 12:30 PM. All you need to help out is a dual band (2m and 70cm) handheld, preferably with a gain antenna. Sign up with the BAA directly by following the instructions below. The BAA will close registration in early September, so don’t delay!
> 
> Go to the BAA Half-Marathon volunteer page http://registration.baa.org/cfm_Volunteer/iframe_WebVolunteer.cfm?mode=splash and press the “Volunteer Now” button.
> 
> There are separate buttons for “Returning” and “First Time” Volunteers. Returning Volunteers will be prompted for a BAA Volunteer Loyalty Number. If you don’t know your BAA Volunteer Loyalty Number, you can recover it with the “Retrieve Your Volunteer Loyalty Number” button.
> 
> If the system does not have a Volunteer Loyalty Number for you, or if you have not volunteered at a BAA event before, go through the “First Time Volunteers” button on the first page.
> 
> Complete the personal information form.
> 
> Group status: Ham volunteers don’t need to join any group. You can answer “No” to both questions.
> 
> Assignment request: Select “Ham Radios” from the top pulldown menu on the page. You are not required to make any selections on the lower menus.
> 
> Complete the remainder of the application and make note of your application confirmation number. Seeing a confirmation number on the page is your indication that you have successfully completed the online application.
> 
> If you have any questions about the event or the sign-up procedure, feel free to get in touch with me at ab1rl at arrl.net  or (859) 466 5915.
> 
> Thank you, and 73,
