The Sequoia Century bike ride is looking for ham operators to staff a rest/lunch stop at the Cafe Cuesta on June 3rd, from 9:00AM until 3:00PM. The organizers already have staff for this location, but would like ham communications as well. The ride is organized from Palo Alto, so they will be using the 146.865 repeater to cover the course on both sides of the Skyline (200 km course!).
Peter was the original contact for this information and he advises that the ham teams will need a car/mobile rig or a push-up antenna to have solid communications from the Cafe.
This is a 6 hour event and with several teams of 2, Phil can get the individual shifts down to 2 or 3 hours.
If you are interested, please contact Phil Spiegel directly at: philipspiegel@gmail.com
This is an ARES membership qualifier.
Thank you!
