The third tour is the MS TRAM, a week long tour July 27-31 from Ortonville to Welch. Please visit the MS Society website at http://www.mssociety.org for further event details.
Radio operators are needed to help support the tours. We are seeking riders and volunteers in all capacities to support these events. Amateur radio operators are requested to help with communications in rest stops, first aid stations, intersections, support vehicles and other positions, as well as for the promotion of amateur radio. Please visit our radio communications volunteer’s website at http://www.ms-scram.org for more details.
ARES members, these are excellent opportunities to brush up on your skills and dust off your emergency equipment as these are field operations. These are events that really can test you and your communications equipment under disaster type situations.
If interested in participating as a rider or volunteer, please contact the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Minnesota Chapter at (612) 335-7900 or 1-800-FIGHT-MS. Please let them know you are an amateur radio operator.
Thank you,

Repeater Users, Pleas Help!

As many of you know, this Thursday through Saturday is the Central States VHF Society Conference at the Ramada Mall of America Hotel (Thunderbird). We are expecting 100-150 out of town visitors for this event and the TCRC's 147.21 repeater will serve as a general direction and talk-in repeater for these guests.
Carry on your normal use of the 147.21, but try to leave a slightly longer gap between transmissions so any lost visitors can break in and ask directions.
Registration begins at noon on Thursday so anytime from Wednesday evening onward you may expect to find visitors on our repeater. I suspect mostly the request will be directions to the Thunderbird, which is located at the 24th street exit off I494.
Please give these Hams a warm Twin Cities welcome and try to answer any questions that may come up. Thank you for your cooperation.
