[John Bloodgood]

All,


We just had several operators drop out due to external circumstances and therefore in desperate need of more operators for this weekend's Tour de Cure for the American Diabetes Association.

> Southern Colorado Tour de Cure here in Colorado Springs.  The Tour de 
> Cure is Pikes Peak Amateur Radio Emergency Service's (PPARES) last 
> outdoor Public Service Event for this year.  It is absolutely a FUN time 
> with a great ARES Team and a great Tour de Cure Ride Team.

> /*We are in urgent need of 4 to 8 ham radio volunteers */because over 
> the past few days an unusually high number of our team has had to

> We are at the point where critical medical/safety communications

> /*We would like to urge all Pikes Peak ARES members and ham radio 
> operators who could possibly volunteer for Saturday to please look for a 
> way to assist us in support of this wonderful event. */
> 
> The /*basic equipment requirements *//*are modest*/ - what almost every 
> ham would already have on hand: a UHF/VHF dual band mag- mount antenna, 
> a 5 Watt UHF/VHF dual band FM HT with connectors to use the 
> aforementioned mag-mount antenna, OR a mobile UHF/VHF dual band radio 
> for use with the aforementioned mag-mount antenna, enough batteries to 
> last 12+ hours.
> 
> /*Timeline to prepare for the event:*/  Today and Wednesday - signup 
> window; Thursday is for receiving, reading, & asking questions about the 
> Comm Plan as well as making final position assignments; Friday is 
> installing repeaters for a few of us and checking out equipment for the 
> rest of the team; and Saturday is the event.

> You can /*volunteer by either signing up *//*on the PPARES Volunteer 
> Website: http://216.161.57.107/ARESPSE/Default.aspx*//*
> *//*OR, directly emailing myself, Bill KC0ET &/or Buck KO0Y, both cc'd 
> on this email, directly*/.  {Those who have had to withdraw have not had 
> the time to remove their names from the volunteer website, so the total 
> number shown is very inaccurate and should be disregarded.}
> 
> Sincerely, many thanks.
