[XWARN] Events needing ham radio support

[Bob Baker N8ADO]

There are several upcoming events that desire ham radio support. Please 
consider joining us for these activities. They provide good experience 
that is applicable to emergency incidents, should we be called upon to 
provide services. It is a good chance to sharpen your skills and to 
check out equipment. And you will likely have fun doing it. The only 
requirements for the activities listed are an amateur radio license 
(Technician or higher) and a transceiver capable of operation on two 
meter FM. (If you do not possess a radio, yet, a loaner can be arranged).

Sunday, October 10    Dayton River Corridor Classic  Half Marathon and 5k
Volunteers assemble at 8:00 AM (9:00 starting gun); timing closes at 
NOON, so the last assignment should be done by then.
Start and finish are at Welcome Stadium (Edwin C Moses Blvd). Course 
goes North to Stewart, crosses the river, and heads South along the bike 
path to the halfway point. The runners turn around and reverse the path 
back to the stadium.
We could use a number of bicycle mobile operators to patrol the course.

runner safety, we report the mile times of the lead runners.
