KICKER: AT CYCLING EVENT, HAMS TAKE ON MOUNTAINS OF RESPONSIBILITY
JIM/ANCHOR: Just as we began this week's newscast with the story of a
journey, we end our report with another journey. This one stretches
206 miles, reaches elevations as high as 10,000 feet, and involves
more than 1,700 cyclists, and 135 hams from four states. Mike Askins,
KE5CXP, picks up the story from here.
MIKE: The Logan to Jackson Bicycle Race in Utah, also known as LoToJa,
is the longest one-day cycling event in North America to be sanctioned
by the U.S. Cycling Federation. For the scores of hams providing
communications assistance, it has grown into the longest day. According
to Kevin Reeve, N7RXE, of the Bridgerland Amateur Radio Club in Logan,
Utah, the event that took place on September 7th, is both a race and a
ride. It is also a prominent fundraiser for a number of medical
organizations and it is a test of hams' emergency preparedness. Kevin
said more than 40 percent of the race through the mountainous region is
unserved by cellphone communications. The terrain, which includes three
mountain passes, prevents cyclists' support crews from even following
them, and so hams provide communications, first aid, and mechanical
support, to ensure safety, as riders head from Logan, Utah, to Jackson
Hole, Wyoming.
Kevin said: {quote} "It is a crazy day and event, and we love it."
{end quote}
In fact, for the past six years, organizers have had no trouble
recruiting hams to sign up. Kevin said: {quote} "It pushes amateur
radio operators to the limit." {endquote} On that day, it seems the
sky - and hams' ability to help - is limitless.
For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Mike Askins, KE5CXP.
