2010 Mid Michigan MS150 Bike Ride
Saturday & Sunday, July 17 & 18
The MS150 event is the largest Amateur Radio public service event in South East Michigan. It requires a minimum of 75+ amateurs, to cover some 200+ miles of route, plus rest stops, and some 20+ mobile units each day. Each amateur that participates in the two day event supplies his or her own equipment, mainly consisting of a 25 Watt or greater UHF FM radio, Magnet Mount antenna, cigarette lighter socket Y adapter, and power cords. Food and lodging for Saturday night are provided for by the MS organization. The event starts promptly at 7am Saturday and concludes late Sunday afternoon after the last rider arrives back. The Saturday night entertainment at MSU is a fun time for all.
There is a NEW MS Bike Ride in Frankenmuth, MI on September 26-27, 2010. This includes a free chicken dinner. If you are interested in helping with either of the Bike Rides or need any questions answered, please email Fred, W8FSM - fred@moses.bz.
