[XWARN] Air Force Marathon is in need of ham volunteers

[Bob Baker N8ADO]

The Air Force Marathon will be held on Saturday, September 17. We are 
forming a team of ham radio volunteers to support the event by operating 
several networks for logistics, medical information, monitoring and 
tracking of runners, shadowing of race officials, and support of finish 
line operations.


We are in desperate need of having more volunteers sign up to help with 
this event. PLEASE join us. And invite your ham friends to join, too.


As of right now, 29 people have signed up to support ham radio 
operations in support of the marathon. The absolute minimum number to 
cover this event is 49, but more is better.


Registration closes on August 31, but PLEASE sign up as soon as possible 
so that we can assess if and when we go into panic mode.


To sign up, go to the Air Force Marathon website (usafmarathon.com)and 
navigate to the volunteer portal (GET INVOLVED, Volunteer, VOLUNTEER 
NOW, click the green bar).Once on that site, scroll down to Race Day abd 
click the box for Amateur Radio Operator.button and then choose Amateur 
Radio Operator. Scroll down and fill out all of the required fields, be 
sure to click on “Sign Up to Volunteer” at the bottom of the page.


Finally, I have set up a mailing list specific to this event. If you 
wish to be included send a request to


AFM.HAMS at gmail.com <mailto:AFM.HAMS at gmail.com>


Feel free to send questions to me at this email address.


Much of this information is posted on the district 3 ARES website 
OHD3ARES.org


Thank you!
