Course Maps:
| This year's routes are NOT
exactly the same
as last year. I am waiting on the MS society to send me
hard copies of the courses, however we don't expect them
in time to get them posted, but if they arrive soon, they
will get posted.
Right now we are planning one handing them out Saturday
morning during check-in.

Net Control:
| Net Control is going to be located
someplace in the parking lot. Mt. Diablo Amateur Radio Club
is handling the Net Control duties and they have chosen
147.06 + PL=100 as the frequency of choice. Bike to
bike simplex will be on 446.400 no PL If anyone tries
to jam our frequencies, please do not communicate with them,
or let them know you hear them. We will also use 441.325+/PL
100 Hz as an alternate frequency.
Some of the terrain on this route will make
bike-to-bike simplex very difficult and suggestion to use
the back-up repeater has been suggested because it has
good course coverage. Be sure to have that repeater
programmed ahead of time as well.

Motor Signs :
| Event Communication signs for
your Motorcycle will be passed out when we meet. Please
bring a roll of scotch tape, or whatever your choice is
for attaching signs to your bikes. I will have 81/2x11 and
5x7 signs. |
|
| |
Ham Rosters:
| I will provide a final and hard
copy list of volunteers on the day of the event so you can
have all of the call signs, designations and phone numbers
available to you. |
|
|
|
Safety Vest:
| If you have the orange vests
of your own please bring it. We, BA-MARC, only have a limited
number. Can volunteers from the Southern California area
bring a vest up with you? |
|
| |
Food:
| A barbecue will be in progress
from 10:00AM to 3:30 PM at The CarrAmerica start/finish
and Stop E is a lunch stop. All of you are invited to participate
in the barbecue either before you go to your assigned location
or after. |
|
| |
MARC Dinner:
| I would be great if everyone
could plan on going out to eat dinner after the event.
I will locate a place we can go to after the event and spend
the evening chatting, relaxing and unwinding from day's
riding. If you can't make the dinner, please let me know. |
