> Richardson Regional Medical Center Wild Ride! is expected to draw
1,000
> cyclists to Richardson and the North Dallas area on Saturday, May 8,
> 2004. Cyclists may register to ride 30, 50 or 62 miles through
> Richardson, Murphy, Wylie, Lavon, Nevada and Josephine. This new rally
> will be held in conjunction with the City of Richardson's Wildflower

> Ham radio operators are needed to provide communications over the
route.
> In addition to the typical voice communication over VHF repeaters and
> APRS, this year we hope to connect the rest stops with 802.11 wireless
> internet. The goal is to have a webcam at each rest stop uploading
> pictures to a web site.
>
> Especially needed are hams who have 802.11 equipment with directional
> antennas and/or laptop computers with webcams. Also hams with high
speed
> internet connections living in those towns can assist.
>
> Additional information about wireless internet plans are available the
> Dallas Area Working Group - High Speed Multimedia web site:
> http://www.hykkonen.net/dawg-hsmm/
>
> Please volunteer early to help with the planning.
