[XWARN] Ham support for area events

[Bob Baker N8ADO]

Public service events:


Mid-East Cross Country Championship, Saturday, November 16, This event 
presents the best twelve high school men and women senior runners from 
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. Takes place in Indian Riffle 
Park, 2900 Glengarry Dr. Kettering OH 45420. Races start at 11:00 and 
11:30, so we need to be in place by 10:30 and we will be done by noon. 
These runners are very fast so it takes multiple operators at each mile 
marker to get the numbers that we report to the announcer. Optionally 
join the hams for breakfast before the event.

n8ado at arrl.net <mailto:n8ado at arrl.net> to sign up.

On Thursday, November 28 (Thanksgiving Day) is the Miamisburg Turkey 
Trot. I'm not the coordinator for this event, so I'll leave the details 
to others, but you can find a link to contact information for Jack KM8N 
at:  http://www.ohd3ares.org/


Resolution Run 5k, New Year’s Eve (Tuesday, December 31), start/Finish 
at Beavercreek High School. We place lights out on the course and need 
help to tow them (2 inch ball, fairly light; placement 4:00 to 5:00, 
retrieval 9:00 to 10:00). There is a VE Test Session from 5:00 to 7:00 
(Last chance to get a license or upgrade for 2019!). Race starts at 8:00 
and takes about an hour. We plan to have the usual potluck snack table 
before the race so come early and socialize. We can use as many 
operators as possible. We help to light the course with headlights and 
more eyes makes for better response to problems. It’s okay to just show 
up to the rear of the school around 7:00 to get an assignment, but 
advance notice is appreciated, especially if you are able to help with 
the lights. We will use the 147.165 (+) (123.0) repeater with 146.91 (-) 
as the back up.

By the way, I usually have events posted at http://www.ohd3ares.org/.  
If you know someone who does not receive these emails that are sent out 
on several reflectors and they would like to join in, point them to this 
website. It's not practical for me to send messages to individuals 
regarding these events, but if you wish to have me send the lists to a 
reflector, enable my access to the reflector and let me know where to 
send it.

The events that I post are generally listed in the DARA newsletter "RF 
Carrier", the XWARN newsletter "Wavelengths", and the GCARES monthly 
report. If you are the editor of another newsletter and would like to 
publish the list in your periodical, please feel free to do so. I'd 
appreciate receiving a copy so that I know where folks are getting their 
information.  If you or your club support an event and would like to 
have me include it when I send out a new request for volunteers, send 
me: the name of the event with a brief description, the date and time, 
the location (including meeting place), and contact information. Other 
information may be listed as needed.

Finally, the 2019 edition of the Air Force Marathon is history, but it's 
not too soon to start thinking about the 2020 edition. I have agreed to 
take on the job of team leader for ham volunteers. The usual process of 
signing up via the event website will be used again, next year, but I 
have created a special mail account for stuff that doesn't need to be 
seen or acted upon by the AFM staff. If you are not already in the 
volunteer database and you want to get on the volunteer contact list, 
send a message to that effect to afm.hams at gmail.com. I don't check the 
mailbox too frequently, yet, but this mail account is strictly about the 
ham team that supports the Air Force Marathon. Note that the Marathon 
will take place on Saturday, September 19, 2020 and will feature the 
HH-60G Pave Hawk.
