Cortland Canoe Classic This Sunday April 27
We still need a few more volunteers at the Cortland Canoe Classic this
Sunday April 27th. The race begins at 10:00 AM so volunteers
should be at Yaman Park in time to be in position before then; 9:30 AM
should be good. Chris KB2FAF will be the lead for this event
and will have maps for you. For those of you who work every year and
have volunteered already I will ask Chris to put you in your usual spot
unless you request otherwise.
I'm guessing the frequency will be 147.420 simplex, with pre-race
talk-in on the 147.180 repeater. Those of you in the northern most
points, the start line in Truxton for example, will need to arrange for
some power and / or a good antenna, and / or mobile repeat to be heard
at Yaman. You will need to be on foot near the launch point so
cross-band repeat works well for this. This is not really a good HT
event unless you are at one of the bridges close to Yaman Park.
