[PPRAANet] Greenland Endurance Ride

[Tom Tindell]

>From W0TLM Newsletter (My wife and I did this last year and had a lot of
fun):

*MORE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED*

*WØTLM* *has been asked to provide radio support for the Greenland
Endurance Ride, which is a 50/25/17 mile equine endurance race.*  *The
event will be held on Saturday, May 18th from 6:30am - 6:30pm and Sunday,
May 19th from 7:00am - 2:00pm in the Greenland Open Space area.  *We will
need a minimum of 15 operators.  Our responsibilities will be relaying the
position of each 'team' (horse & rider) to the race officials as well as
relaying information if an injury occurs.  This will be set up as a
directed net using our portable *WØTLM* repeater, with the *NØXLF* repeater
as backup.  All of the radio station locations are accessible via vehicle.
You will need an HT with an upgraded antenna (no rubber duckies!) & a spare
battery (depending on the length of time you are there).  There will not be
a race official posted at the radio stations except for the Net Control
location.  If you are interested in volunteering, or have any questions,
please contact Tricia / *KØTRD* tricia4wd at gmail.com
