Max Performance Race Director Tim has asked if we'd be able to assist with the Wareham, MA triathlon, Sunday June 9th. We're trying to determine feasibility. They are particularly eager for our assistance given the poor cellular coverage on the bike course.

The event occurs from 7:30 am to about noon. Hams would need to meet at around 6:30 AM.

This is well outside our normal service area, but we did assist last year. We will make the decision about supporting the event early next week based on how many volunteers have signed up.

If you are interested, please fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/qB4TZKxFp7YCiMHw7

If you know anyone else who may be interested in volunteering, please forward this l to them.

Each year we are invited to assist a number of events with our knowledge and skills as amateur radio communicators. On May 8th 2024 at 8pm Eastern, WECT will be holding a virtual workshop to prepare for the events that WECT organizes.

This workshop is open to all, and is aimed at new hams or those looking to learn more, including technical aspects, communications skills, and event specific info. The workshop will include a “tabletop” exercise mock event giving participants the opportunity to practice topics discussed in the workshop.

Volunteering for these events is an opportunity to support our community with our unique abilities, while also allowing us the opportunity to test our equipment and skills in diverse environments.

We are also looking for experienced folks to join us to help facilitate the tabletop exercise.

Please RSVP at this link, if you are interested in joining, so we can plan accordingly: https://forms.gle/gBaMrLBdMJkt94sg9
