them. We will also use 441.325+/PL 100 Hz as an
alternate frequency.

 | 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.

working at that location.

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.
