[NCARC] Courage Classic

[Tom Jungmeyer]

NØTVQ Here, asking for some assistance.


If I can have you all spread the word about Courage Classic, and the 
need for "helping hams", it would be appreciated.  As you attend your 
local club meetings, pass the word along.

The Courage Classic Bike Tour to benefit the Childrens' Hospital will 
take place this summer, July 20-22, 2013, at Copper Mountain Resort.  
The Foundation has asked for Ham Operators to help provide 
communications for the Tour.  In exchange, they provide us with food, 
lodging, and shirts.

We need hams that can provide reliable 50W on 2M with a good 5/8 wave 
antenna, 440 as a backup, and optional APRS setups.  (APRS usually gets 
you in a mobile position, but you might be asked to install your 
equipment in another vehicle that is not your own.)

If you can't stay the weekend, then this year we will also have 
additional available 1-day positions for July 20. Come the night before, 
and be prepared to work first thing in the morning, then at the end of 
the day, you're DONE!

Friday night before the Tour, the hams and other volunteers will be 
treated to a complimentary dinner prepared by members of the Front Range 
International Dutch Oven Society.

Hams that have helped with past Tours can tell you that this is a lot of 
work, with a dash of patience and a sprinkle of creativity involved, but 
it is one of the best volunteer jobs you can do this summer.  We usually 
have a lot of "repeat offenders".

Thanks, and 73s.  --Ed
