BIKE NORTHWOODS TOUR with communications support for their cycling

Superior, Solon Springs.
HAMs will use
their own personal vehicle and supply their own amateur radio equipment to
support tour participants. They are the communication link between
riders, volunteers and staff. Receive free meal plan, t-shirt, and
gas reimbursement. Weeklong volunteers also receive free tent
service.
Amateur Radio
Operators are an essential part of Two Bicycles and a Map, LTD.
 Over
the last 9 years, Hams have proven their weight in gold during our tours.
They pass messages about rider welfare, road hazards, changing weather
conditions, and assist with the coordination of rest stop supplies.
Communications are a key ingredient for our summer tours to run smoothly
and safely, so we can never have enough Amateur Radio Operator volunteers.
Time Commitment
Amateur Radio Operators may volunteer for a single day, multiple days or
the entire week of the tour. We invite operators from near and far
to participate during our tours, in fact, we have amateur radio operators
that come from as far away as Texas.
For more info on Riding and Non-Riding HAM
equipment requirements, contact Kathy KB9UAZ at

guides for all three classes. They are available for download at---

If you know of anyone interested in the class and/or taking the test(s)
let them know about this opportunity.
And if you have any questions feel free to contact me, if I don't know
I will try to get an answer.
