[W3GV] Wings Over Pittsburgh Open House and Airshow

[Ucdavid at aol.com]

The Wings Over Pittsburgh Open House and airshow will be held on May 13-14  
at the USAF Reserve base in Moon Twp. near the Pittsburgh International 
Airport.  Highlights will include the USAF Thunderbirds and an F-22 
demonstration.  


The show organizers have requested help from amateur radio  operators to 
perform public service communications for the event.  At the  moment, we need 
at least 12 hams each day of the show.  We anticipate all  communications 
will be on VHF/UHF, so your HTs, spare batteries, and a decent  antenna should 
be all the gear you need.  If you would like to participate,  please email 
me the following information:



    *   Name  
    *   Home address  
    *   Phone Number  
    *   Date of Birth ( required by show organizers for vetting volunteers) 
 
    *   Which days you will be available



IMPORTANT:  Do not wait until the last moment to  volunteer!  As all 
volunteers will be vetted by the show organizers, if you  volunteer too close to 
the show, there will not be enough time to be vetted and  we will not be able 
to use you even if we are short handed.  I do not know  how close to the 
airshow we’ll be able to accept volunteers, so the sooner you  email me the 
better.


Special note to ARES members in Allegheny County:  The  airshow conflicts 
with the Race for the Cure on Sunday May 14.  That event  is as important to 
us as the airshow.  Therefore, we will not accept any  volunteers from 
Allegheny County for the airshow on Sunday until all slots for  the Race for the 
Cure have been filled.
