Hi Western MA ARES folks,

On July 18th the Appalachian Trail Golden Packet challenge
<www.atgoldenpacket.net> will take place. APRS-enabled amateur operators
will establish and utilize an APRS-based network from Georgia to Maine, and
one hop along the trail is Mt. Greylock!

Our regular Mt Greylock operator just had a medical emergency and cannot
participate this year.  We are looking for someone who may be interested in
operating from Mt. Greylock on that day (usually between 10am and 1pm). We
can provide the radio if you do not have a Kenwood D710.

If you are interested in helping out, please let me know as time is
running short and we'd love to get you trained up quickly.  Reach out to me
directly at kc1vmz at gmail.com for more information.

Thanks!
- john KC1VMZ

Hello, John,
I'm not available but I do the club and net announcements on the Tuesday
1930 ARESnet on 146.940 and Sunday morning ARES nets on 146.940 and
443.200.
I'll add this request to my announcements.
Please let me know if you get a volunteer so I will know if I should or
shouldn't announce it.

73,
Smitty, KC1IKA
