9) Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Brent Walls and my amateur radio callsign is N9BA. I am coordinating amateur radio communications support for the 2023 500 Festival Mini Marathon on Saturday May 6th.
This is one of the most iconic mini marathons in the nation and I need your help getting the word out to potential volunteers in your club. To fully support this event, we will need 70+ amateur radio operators. Amateur radio operators will be stationed at pit stops (medical and water), at mile markers, the finish line area and other strategic locations.
Our primary mission is to provide communications support to the medical and logistical operations for overall public safety. This is a great opportunity to showcase our capabilities to the 500 Festival, public safety partners and the general public. I would like to ask you to share this opportunity with your ARES and encourage them to consider volunteering to support this event.
All they need is a dual band (VHF/UHF) radio capable of operating up to 6 hours (extra batteries). Most assignments will be handheld friendly as we will use local repeaters for most communications. The operational period for all amateur radio operators begins at 06:30 and will be a staggered release no later than 12:30.
Anyone interested in volunteering can use the link below to register as an amateur radio communicator for this event: https://forms.office.com/r/jM35QxffzD Anyone with questions can contact me directly by e-mail at bwalls5@outlook.com and I will be glad to answer their questions.
• There were no additional announcement made during the net.
• The Southern Gateway Radio League C4FM digital “Fusion" net, normally held on the W9ZSK 147.255 repeater in Martinsville, Indiana will be moved to the W9ZSK 444.250 repeater on the 4th Wednesday of every month at 8:30 P.M. (Eastern Daylight Time) to allow Wires-X users to access the net from beyond the repeater's regular coverage area. This will be a directed net and all participants are asked to pause between transmissions to allow Wires-X users to connect & disconnect. Wires-X users should connect to the N9AWU room #43978.
