Ironman Lake Placid 2014 July 27th Contact Bob Cook can be contacted by email: w2ib@charter.net the Communications Captain who will be assigning Amateurs who wish to help with triathlon health and welfare traffic. It takes many Amateurs to cover this extensive course's environment. You'll find this practical experience good Emcomm Training for future Public Service and RACES operations. We still need Amateurs to provide communications at Aid / Medical Stations and man Ambulances. The course covers multiple Counties and a challenging terrain. This also makes communications difficult. Bob will make sure that you will be appropriately placed with your own radio resources along the course. Over many years of experience doing just that helps to make this an event that many who participate return to do year after year. The athletes always appreciate the Public Service (communications) Amateurs provide.
