Hi all,

The ARCBA chapter supports a number of races with medical services.
One of those, the SF Marathon, is coming up on Sun July 31 and we
are woefully short of communicators and recorders.  It's a large
event and serves as an excellent communications drill.  Typically,
there is comm traffic related to logistics, general status, medium
priority medical problems requiring consultation with the onsite
medical director and code 2 ambulance transport, and a significant
number of high priority medical incidents requiring urgent radio
traffic with the medical director and code 3 transport.

To be a communicator, you need an FCC HAM license.  Recorders work
with patients and caregivers to document treatment and patient
information.  Both these positions require current First Aid and CPR.

We need comm staff for fixed and mobile first aid teams, logistics
support, liaisons with PD and event staff, and to serve as Net
Control on three different nets.  What ever level of activity you
might be interested in, we've probably got it.

Again, this is an excellent opportunity to get some real world
emergency comm practice.  Please pass this notice on.

Please contact Grace Pun to sign up (pung@usa.redcross.org / 
415-427-8864) or Woody B-C for any comm related questions
(KG6LAF@earthlink.net / 415-608-8974).

Thanks,

Woody Baker-Cohn
