Phil Henderson, KF6ZSQ... -------------------------------------------------------------------- The Peninsula Tour de Cure is a fund-raising event sponsored by the American Diabetes Association. The Tour is comprised of three bicycle races, 25K, 50K, and 120K in length. Each rider is sponsored, and many are in company-sponsored teams. This is a demanding event for radio operators. The 120K route goes through Portola Valley and the hills of the ocean side of the Peninsula. Coverage in the valleys and canyons is difficult. Volunteer operators should be prepared for cold, wet weather and hot, sunny weather. We have excellent net control operators, and the Tour de Cure provides an opportunity to participate in an event managed as an emergency. If you have not participated in a controlled net, you will be assigned with an experienced radio operator. The two shorter races are less demanding and take less time. If you prefer, you may volunteer for rest stops more conveniently located and requiring communications for a shorter time. NOTE: Because operators may be out for up to eight hours, they should have plenty of battery power, food, and water, along with whatever other supplies they will need during the day. In some locations, we recommend mobile radios with 25 watts of power. For information on rest stop locations, times, and frequencies, see http://www.civex.com/tour or email philip@civex.com for more information. -- Phil Stripling The Civilized Explorer http://www.cieux.com/ _______________________________________________ Scc-ec mailing list Scc-ec@svpal.org http://mailman.svpal.org/mailman/listinfo/scc-ec -- No virus found in this incoming message.
