Mon Wireless has been asked to help provide communications help Saturday
Aug 27, 2011.

We will be helping to provide logistics and health safety communications
for an event in Preston County.  Our help will be needed from 8:00 AM
until approximately 8:00 PM.  We will be responsible for 2 stations
along the route.  One will be at the city park pavilion area at
Rowlesburg and the other will be along the route.  We will be assisting
the Preston County Radio groups and several local county agencies from
both Mon and Preston counties.

If you can help please contact me either by replying to this e-mail,
direct e-mail to N8OZY at comcast.net or call me at (304)276-0427 and let
me know your availability.  The more people we have the shorter your
duties will be.  We always have a good time at these events and it is a
good chance to meet other operators and the public as well as to promote
our hobby and help to the world.

Sorry but in my last message I forgot to mention the type event.  This
will be an Adventure Race.  The race will involve teams - not
individuals.  They will be running, biking, raft building / rafting, and
compass course tracking among other things.  This event encompasses
Briar Mountain to Cheat river so it's a very involved course.
