Don Rolph, AB1PH sends along that the MS Ride the Rhode is coming up on Saturday June 13. This year it is only a one day event. Traditionally amateru radio teams operate to coordinate the the support and gear (SAG) wagons as well as coordinate rest stop operations. The MS team is hoping to enlist support again this year.
If you would like to participate please sign up and let AB1PH know as well so he can coordinate the team.

Our club and the North Shore Radio Association (NSRA) are providing communications for the Gloucester Mass Santa Parade which will be held on this upcoming Sunday Dec 7th at 3 PM and we are short operators so we are looking for more hams to help us out filling spots along the parade route. So if anyone is interested they can contact Eric Horowitz KA1NCF at KA1NCF@nsradio.org .
