Bank of
America Chicago Marathon
Columbus Day weekend, Sunday, October 10, 2010
Ham Radio
Volunteers are once again needed at
the 2010 Bank of America Chicago
Marathon. Both the marathon organizers
and the City of Chicago officials who participated were
impressed with our professionalism.
Volunteer applications are now being
accepted.
If you wish
to be part of the Ham Radio Volunteer
Program at the Bank of America Chicago
Marathon, please email and ask for
information to
LEADS @ HAMRADIOCHICAGO.ORG
Registration deadline for
all Ham Radio Volunteers was July 31,
2010, so that we can conduct training in
August, but we will continue to take
names through the end of September in
case we need to replace people or add
positions. Please note that assignments
will be determined once registration has
closed.
Operators with only HT are also needed
this year for shadows. There has been a
request for more support from the
organizers

Go Kits Anyone
serious about Emergency Support should have a
go-kit, or maybe more than one. It may be
something you keep in the car or something
mostly packed and ready to go at home. Even if
you don't have one, you should think about what
you might need to have in case of an emergency.
This is a presentation that Dan O’Connor,
KE7HLR made at EMCOMMWEST in 2008. It's a rather
large PDF file (about 3Meg). If you don't have a
high speed connection, I suggest downloading it,
and reading it off line. It's great 'food for
thought' and well worth the read. I found myself
mentally comparing Dan's ideas to what I have
assembled and thinking about what I might want
to add.
