49th annual Midwest Tandem Rally. Needs ham radio volunteers
Don & Cris Kirk Route Support (SAG & Ham Radio) Hoosiers Out On Tandems (HOOTs), a part of Central Indiana Cycling, invites you to join us
Headquarters for the event will be the Westfield Wyndham hotel located 15 miles north of Indianapolis.
Urgent Need For 1 More Ham Radio Volunteer
The Midwest Tandem Rally bicycle event being held in Westfield over the Labor Day weekend
still needs 1 more ham radio operator on Sunday August 31st to be a roving SAG driver
and he/she needs a vehicle that can carry a Tandem bicycle along with its 2 riders in case transport is needed.
A pickup truck with medium or long bed works well but a SUV or
Mini Van with seats that can be removed or that fold down flush to the floor might be adequate.
The volunteer needs to supply their own 2 meter gear.
Roving SAG vehicles will be compensated for their mileage at the event at $0.50 per mile
(but not to and from their home to the event).
Free volunteer T shirt and free lunch provided to all volunteers.
If interested please contact Don (wd8dsb) at wd8dsb@aol.com as soon as possible.
