Xenia Marathon Sunday, April 6 Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10 K Starting gun at 8:00, Official end at 6 hours after the start. For course maps, etc. see the website RUNXENIA.COM Last time we had 20 volunteers, which worked out OK as some of us were able to cover multiple locations. More eyes and more communications are always good. In addition to spotters at designated places, we can use several bicycle mobiles to patrol the course and to track the tail ends. Duties: Report progress of race information (lead runners, runner density, tail end), Report runner injuries and/or the need for assistance, Report logistical issues, Assist course marshals Required equipment: Two meter transceiver with decent antenna, spare batteries. Earphone recommended. We expect to use the XWARN repeater (147.165, plus offset, 123.0 subtone). We can arrange the loan of a transceiver if needed. Please contact Bob Baker N8ADO to sign up as a volunteer n8ado.bob at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please consider checking into the Greene County Severe Weather Net which will be held on the 147.165 (+) (123.0) repeater. The net will be check-in only, so the net should go quickly and it may be practical to step out of your workplace for a few moments to check in. Also, the repeater is now capable of connection via EchoLink (W8XRN-R), so it is possible to check in even if you are out of the normal range of coverage of the repeater. In the event of actual severe weather, the drill will not be held. Bob Baker N8ADO AUXC GCARES Emergency Coordinator XWARN VP
