[RVRC] Re; Triathlon volunteers

[Marvin Bronstein]

RVRC members,
In my view we must be careful not to allow the "donation" offered ($25/volunteer) to appear as being "pay earned" for volunteering to operate amateur radio communications. Or this would, in my opinion, constitute "prohibited transmissions" inasmuch as it would be; "communications for hire or for material compensation,.........". (FCC Part 91.113, (a) (2) )
We may, I believe, allow "donations" to the RVRC based upon a "formula" of $25 per member 'volunteer' and not based on performance of working!

P.S. It is a 'thin-line' but I feel confident that my suggestion is an acceptable compromise.

We would need your group to monitor the bike course as directionals along
the course on Saturday or Sunday or maybe some on each day.

DVRA does man the courses both days but could use supplemental help along
the course.

7/21 7am - 11am 15 total
7/22 7am - 11am 19 total
You don't need to fill all slots.

We donate $25 per volunteer per shift.
