The Mid East Challenge, a cross country invitational race for the elite
runners from Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana, has requested ham radio
volunteers to report lead runner information to the announcer. The event
takes place on Saturday, November 16. The first race starts at 1100 and
the second at 1130. I usually coordinate this event, but I expect to be
out of town that day and I am seeking someone to be the on-scene
coordinator. n8ado@woh.rr.com

Don’t forget that GCARES has a pair of weekly nets:

Tuesdays at 9 PM on the 146.91 (-) (no PL) repeater, except on the
fourth Tuesday when we use 442,725 (+) (no PL)

We start with a voice net and follow with a digital net using fldigi
MT63-2000L. Neither net tends to last very long, so spend a few minutes
and check them out.

Also, we could use more net control operators, either regularly
scheduled or occasional. It is good training.
