Thanks to all who participated in the 2009 Bagels & Bluegrass Century Tour event held last Saturday, Oct 3, 2009.
As in the past, WTARS ham radio operators provided communication services along the 100+ mile route covered by bicyclists in the event. Rider's numbers were recorded at each water stop along the way and relayed to the Net Control operator located at Tour HQ at Jackson State Community College.
Tour officials consider our services a valuable part of the annual operations. The efforts and skills of WTARS enables officials to keep track of the progress of the ride in real time and to alert them of any rider that may need assistance.
Once again, WTARS members have displayed and utilized their skills for the good of the hobby and the community.
