Wonder Woman and Summit Challenge Races
Just under two weeks away from the Summit Challenge and I could really use some more help.
This is always a tough ride to support because of the way the route is laid our for the different distances and therefore the need for more support folks than the average ride.
We only have half as many SAG drivers as we need.. we only have one person to ride along in a shuttle when we need three... There are still three rest stops that have no comms person... and we still could use two folks to shadow the ride and route directors.
So.. I am back to begging... This is a great organization and this ride raises money to allow them to do great things in our communities. Please, if you are available on August 25th, even if it's for a short period of time (example, one of the rest stops is scheduled to open at 10:30 AM and should be closed between 11:30 and Noon) consider helping out. And also remember, this is a great way to get experience in a real world, unscripted event using your radio to get prepared for the inevitable emergency call out.

North Salt Lake Fireworks Support July 3, 2018
The City of North Salt Lake has requested assistance for the event communication during the Fireworks event this year. I will be organizing the Amateur Radio support for this event, and want to extend the invitation to assist with the Fireworks Event
What will we be doing? We will be communicating with the attendees about the keep out area, and the NSLPD about anything we see or hear. We are keeping folks out of the fireworks keep out zone, off of the greens, out of the skydiver landing zone, out of the possible RC airplane pilot areas, and out of the ponds. We will also be watching for lost children or other (medical, or disturbance) problems and generally being extra eyes and ears for the NSLPD. We may help with the vendor parking entrance, prior to the golf course opening.It is very laid back, and you have the opportunity for a front seat to the fireworks; I have a lot of couples come together to help out, get some vendor food, watch the activities and the fireworks. It is a super easy way to help the community, practice a little radio, and get some entertainment in! We have some skydivers this year. There are vendors, and most of the time there is a BBQ dinner with NSLPD.
The Incident Commander holds a briefing at 16:00, with an event opening at 18:00, parking at the golf course is available by pass for volunteers. We will have the SDMFA Command Center with us to use, and can use the golf carts for transport. If you can come at 16:00, please do so, to help cover the parking lot entrances. Otherwise plan on being there at 18:00. I have room in my vehicle if you would like to be up there at 16:00 and leave approximately 23:00. We will use the ARES simplex frequencies 145.570 Mhz (primary) and 145.750 Mhz (backup) for the event. Talk-in will be on 145.570. No tone or codes needed.
