mod.png ARRL Western MA Section Emergency Coordinator and WECT Secretary John Ruggiero N2YHK is looking for about 6 - 9 amateur radio operator volunteers to assist with communications for this year's March for Babies in Worcester. The event is on Sunday, April 17 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in Downtown Worcester. This is the day before the Boston Marathon, which is on Monday, April 18th.

Typical assignments include NCS, Victory Vans, Shadows, Checkpoints and Observation Points. Radio operators will need an HT with batteries to last a few hours. Speaker-Mics and/or headset/headphones are suggested. A small mobile antenna is a good idea if you are put in a vehicle. For details or to sign up, email John N2YHK.
