[Troop139] Volunteers Needed for Bergen County Bike Ride - Sunday, June 5

[J.Gordon Beattie, Jr., W2TTT]

Hi Folks!

We need Radio Operators and "SAG" Wagon Drivers for this morning event
scheduled for Sunday, June 5 from 7:00 AM to Noon.  

Please let me know if you, or your family or friends are able to provide
communications and/or "SAG" wagon functions for this event.  A SAG wagon
takes riders who are broken down and unable to complete their ride.  

We will be meeting in the parking lot of Bergen Community College at 7:00 AM
for a short briefing and then we will go to our assigned locations.  

We will be assisted by Jim Jackson, NS2K who will be our primary net
control.  More details will be provided to those who are interested in
signing up.  If you can be available that morning, please contact Gordon
Beattie, via email to W2TTT at ARRL.NET or call 201.314.6964. 

If you know of anyone else who could help, please forward this email to
them, as all operators are welcome to the team.

If you know someone who would like to ride, see the attached announcement at
the end of this email.

Thanks & 73,
Gordon Beattie, W2TTT
