[XWARN] Ham help needed to support Young's Charity Bike Ride

[Bob Baker N8ADO]

Requesting Amateur Radio Operators to provide support to Young's Charity 
Bike Ride on Saturday, September 6.

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).

There are several route options. Locations are spread across southern 
Clark into western Madison, and northern Greene counties.

Start is scheduled for 8 am and the last rider typically rolls in around 
5 pm. Assignments will be staggered through this time period. Most of 
the assigned locations require a decent mobile set-up--25 watts with a 
vehicle mounted antenna (with some gain) should be sufficient for most 
spots. Several loaner mobile rigs are available. Bicycle-mobile 
operators would be helpful.

Registration for the Air Force Marathon is still open through the end of 
August, but please register as soon as possible if you have not done so. 
The list stands at 44 volunteers registered. We could definitely use 
another 10 to 20. For more info or to request a particular assignment,
