I just got this from Bill VA3SPT. Please reply directly to Bill silver@ontera.net [13] or (705) 476-4752 as I am leaving town tomorrow Friday, until Wednesday Oct 21 and won't be able to help. This is a fun event that usually doesn't take too long. Hi Drew Please send out the following to the group. Hi Folks The fourth annual North Bay General Hospital Walk/Run happens Sunday October 18th at Lee Park. They have requested our help again this year. So I am looking for volunteers to help with safety communications. So if you can help please let me know. I will out of town in Massey attending a fundraising dinner for Sam’s Great Australian Adventure so I will be looking for someone to help coordinate the event. Thanks Bill VA3SPT.

It was a tad cool this morning, but fortified by hot java (the liquid stuff not the programming language) Henry KD8LWV, Gerry VE3YO, Mike VA3MPR, Bruce VA3BDR, Dan VE3YUI and I ran communications for the event.
Doug VA3DLJ stayed warm at home and ran the HF net for me, and then stood by in case we needed a message passed.
We ran the comms on 146.52 and except for a little doubling had no issues.
No incidents. The only confusion came when we were trying to find out who the sweep was. (Lady on 10 speed with green jacket).
According to Vicki it was a success raising a nice sum for the hospital.
We were on site from about 08:30 to approximately 11:45.
Thanks to all that helped out.
I'll post the route maps in the archive for next year.

I missed VE3OZ in the attendance list. He was on my list but got missed in the hard copy. Sorry John.
