I've mentioned the Tour de Cure event coming up this weekend in Raleigh/Oxford. Its a two day bicycle ride of 150 miles (75 each day) to raise money for Diabetes research. Hams are needed to communicate and monitor the cyclists' safety and welfare. A perfect fit for ham radio. I've done it in the past and the service rendered has been superb. If you are interested in emergency communications requiring tactical calls and real life situations, this is the gig for you.
Now I am leaving Saturday morning early and will not be back until late Sunday, so there will not be any activity here until next Monday. I'm assuming that will be a summary of this weekend's activities.
Here is a link to the volunteer radio operator's page, if you are interested in seeing what goes on in something like this. Also, if you can hear the repeaters listed you may want to listen in on the activity. There will be plenty! Click here for the link.
Drive Safely!
