[WIARC] FW: 2015 Bridge the Gap

[Danny Pease]

A request from John Simon, N9TMM.

 

I would like to encourage all of you that possibly can to volunteer to help with this. At the most, you should only be there for 5 hours and many positions will only require a few hours.

 

Please let John know if you can help or if you have any questions about the event.

Bridge the Gap is Saturday May 16th.  The route is the same as last year with the same communication needs and positions.  Jerry will be out of town leading up to the event so I will be working on signing everybody up.  The following are positions that we need people for:

Friday afternoon or evening setup - Time to be determined (unless it was discussed at training the other night)

Saturday Morning - 07:00 Briefing

Communication startup and systems check - 2 people

Net Control Operators - 3 people

Water Stations - 8 people

Medical - 3 people (1 at tent and 2 mobile)

Other key communication locations - 6 people

This is a total of 20 personnel at a minimum we need to make this event run smoothly.  Every year the organizers are impressed with the abilities of amateur radio operators to report track conditions or locate issues and individuals along the multiple routes.  I thank you for your past assistance and hope that we can again count on you for this year.

If you are available to help please let me know by a return email.  If you know of other amateur radio operators that may be interested please share this information with them.  This opportunity is not only for EMA personnel.

 

Thanks again and look forward to seeing you for Bridge the Gap!!

John Simon
