OHD3ARES.ORG August 17 & 18 (Sat & Sun) Abi Khan Horse Endurance Challenge We track the horses as they navigate the trails around Caesar Creek State Park. Horses hit the trail at 7:00 AM and expect to be done before 4pm on Saturday, earlier on Sunday. We can use operators either or both days. This is a good exercise as we pass checkpoint logs from station to station so that we can discover lost riders before they get too far off course. This is a fun, but relatively slow paced event and the riders are always very appreciative. Plus, there are not very many events where you get to get up close to horses. The coordinator for this event is Janese Brooks, KD8DGB and you can contact her at kd8dgb at yahoo.com? This event is less than two weeks away, so please give this one special attention. We will need 5 or 6 volunteers each day. August 25 (Sun) Mountain Bike Race I have not heard from the organizers about details, but I was contacted about providing some sort of communications support for an event involving off road bikes. The event takes place in John Bryan State Park, but I have no further information. The date is so close, that I am announcing it without details. Also, I am not going to be around that day to coordinate, so I am looking for a volunteer to do that. I'll collect names from anyone interested and pass them along to whoever offers to coordinate. You can contact me at n8ado at woh.rr.com August 31 (Sat) Tour de Gem (Bike Tour) Again, I am waiting to hear from the organizers, but I assume that this year's event will be similar to previous ones. I do know that the start/finish is being moved to DayAir Ballpark (from Riverscape). There are several ride options with the first riders starting at 8am and the event is scheduled to end at 5pm. I will coordinate the event if the organizers choose to include us. I can be contacted at n8ado at woh.rr.com Sept 2 (Mon, Labor Day) Holiday at Home 5k run and Parade (I have no further information at this time, but this event has been on the ham events list for many years) Sept 7 (Sat)? Young's Charity Bike Ride This is a relatively large event due to a good number of participants and a very large geographical area. We need lots of ham volunteers. The start/finish will be at Young's Dairy (US-68, just north of Yellow Springs). Start is scheduled for 8 am and the last rider typically rolls in around 5 pm. Coordinators are Janese KD8DGB kd8dgb at yahoo.com and Bob N8ADO n8ado at woh.rr.com Sept 14 (Sat) Training for Air Force Marathon Ham Radio Volunteers (see below) Sept 21 (Sat) Air Force Marathon This is a HUGE event by all measures. Lots of participants, lots of things to cover. Registration is open through the end of August. Instructions on how to register are on the OH District 3 ARES website? OHD3ARES.org? There will be an in person training session on Saturday, Sept 14 (tentatively 4pm) at Beavercreek Fire Station 61. For more information contact N8ADO at AFM.HAMS at gmail.com Sept 22 (Sun) Ham license classes sponsored by Greene County Clubs begin, leading up to a test session at 4 pm on Sunday Nov 24. More to follow.

Set your tone to 123.0. The machine support Analog FM and Fusion, but it is not connected to the WIRES-X system. The power amp is not connected to the machine, but it should have fairly good coverage. Thanks, Bret ----- Bret on the road....

Expect to use handhelds on 2 meters. Six checkpoints need to be staffed and the volunteer count is currently at one. Please help if you can. Checkpoints are in the woods; transport from meeting point to assigned spot will be provided via Gator. Coordinator is Mark Avery KE8NHT mavery at sim-trainer.com Tour de Gem Bike Ride 2024 Saturday, August 31? Mass Start at 9 AM, last bike expected to finish by 2 PM Big changes from last year! (Return to previous format is planned for next year). Fewer riders (100 expected) All riders will be on the bike paths between the start at Day Air Ballpark and the turn-around at Xenia Station. Round trip is 38 miles, but riders will turn around at whatever distance they choose. (There may be riders who choose to ride the routes that were used last year, but they do not receive any support) We will attempt to cover the five rest stops (nine, if you count the return trip stops again) It would be great if we could put a bicycle mobile operator on the course as sweep, and use APRS to track. There are other fixed spots that could use safety spotters (there are roughly 20 roads crossed by the bike path). We could provide a useful service by having a couple of SAG vehicles available. Lunch will be provided for all of the volunteers. Tentatively Moeller's Brew Barn. Here is an odd request: The organizers are desperate to find a volunteer to drive the U-Haul supply truck. I you would like to do that or have a friend who would be willing to help the event, I can get you in touch with the event director. To sign up for the event:? Bob Baker N8ADO? n8ado at woh.rr.com Young's Charity Bike Ride Saturday, September 7 Start at Young's Dairy 8 AM, typically finished by 4 PM. We need a lot of volunteers to cover a lot of riders over a large area. The course is all new this year. Part of the event is a fun ride from Youngs down the bike path turning around just before Xenia and we could use a bicycle mobile operator to sweep this section. To sign up: Bob Baker N8ADO? n8ado at woh.rr.com And...don't forget to sign up for the Air Force Marathon, if you haven't done it already. It takes place on September 21. Instructions on how to register are on the website: OHD3ARES.ORG (This site has other event info, too!) Also, let me know that you have signed up, including any special requests, by emailing to AFM.HAMS at gmail.com
