Maybe we should ask for volunteers on the morning net.

What do you need, people with cars to follow along, spotters.

Yes, we can use people with or without cars.
Those without cars can ride along with other vehicles such as medics, or be placed at important
locations and be picked up afterwards.
Those with cars could also do the above, plus drive the route looking for trouble.
The organizers will pay for all gas/diesel, will provide all meals, and dorm accommodations for
those from out of town.
We also could use home station net control(s), who know the area, know the repeaters, has
internet and phone.
Details for all tasks can be found onwww.meskes.ca/tfk
