The Longmont Amateur Radio Club will be handling communications for the Turkey Trot this year, 2009.  The race begins at 9:00am and lasts about 2 hours.  We will need a base station at the school and 8 stations located through out the 10k ( 6 mile ) course to watch for traffic, accidents, injuries and to provide directions.  Our primary frequency will be the club 2 meter repeater, 147.270.

To Sign Up email Doug, ke0si, at dadouga@cs.com.  Or call him at 303-776.1135.  You do not have to be a member of the club to participate.  All hams are welcome. Those who sign up need to be there at 7:30 am to check in with the city, and get instructions.

This event provides public service for our community and it is a fun way to play with your radios.  Hope to see you there.
