[TCARC-NTX] Special Olympics Staffing

[fred & kathy muehlen]

Jerry,
Count us in for the full day.  I have one HT with 2 battery packs, but
Matt's only has one; not sure if it'll last the whole day, but may if he's
on low power and doesn't do too much transmitting.  I also have a 2M mobile
rig that I can bring, w/power supply if there will be AC for it.
