[XWARN] Upcoming events seeking ham support

[Bob Baker N8ADO]

On Sunday, September 9, we need volunteers to support the 2018 Bike MS 
Dayton. This event consists of three different rides that all start and 
finish at Eastwood Metro Park. The shortest version goes out the bike 
trail to Beavercreek and back. The middle one continues on to Xenia and 
returns. The long one continues to Corwin (in Northern Warren County) 
and returns. The ride starts at 8:00 AM and wraps up around 2:00 PM. The 
schedule for the rest stops varies according to location. For example, 
Corwin opens at 10:30 and closes at noon, since it is the farthest from 
the start, while Beavercreek opens at 8:15 and closes at 1:30, since it 
is close to the start, but needs to stay open until the long route 
riders return. The organizers would also like to have radio operators 
who could install in SAG vehicles and help with herding the riders back 
to the finish. It would be swell to have a bike mobile operator to 
follow the last riders into the finish.  If you are able to support this 
event, please contact n8ado at arrl.net.

I have been contacted regarding a possible new event for us. The 
organizers of Pony Wagon Days in St. Paris (near Urbana) have asked if 
we would be able to help with the parade on Thursday late afternoon and 
evening September 6. If I hear from 5 or 6 interested parties, I'll sign 
us up for it. Contact n8ado at arrl.net.

Phil Verret KA8ZKR tells me that he is well short of the number of 
volunteers he needs for the Air Force Marathon (Saturday Sept. 15). The 
deadline to sign up on line is fast approaching. Here is the message 
that Phil sent out earlier:

Hello All,

I’m Phil Verret, KA8ZKR, and I’m taking over from Dave Crawford as the 
Ham Radio Lead Coordinator this year.  First off, thanks for your past 
support!  Dave gave me the list of folks who signed up last year and I’m 
sending out this email to remind you to sign up for the marathon if you 
can support it again this year.  Now would be a great time to get 
registered on the volunteer website.  Simply go to 
http://www.usafmarathon.com/volunteer/ and enter your information.  I 
know some of you have already registered and I’m happy for those who 
did, but the Base Marathon committee will be meeting on 11 July and I’d 
like to report a higher number of volunteers than are currently signed 
up, so if you’ve been putting this off, now would be a great time to get 
it done!

If you have any questions or concerns, please shoot me an email, or if 
you need to talk, let me know and I’ll send you my cell phone number.

Thanks!

Phil Verret

We will use the MoCo ARES repeater as the primary frequency this year 
with DARA as backup.  I do need a DARA van driver to bring out the 
communications van.

Thank you!
