Fellow Amateurs... It's that time of year again! The Pittsburgh Marathon had a successful post-COVID return last year and is now back for 2023! This year's event will run on May 7, 2023. Amateur Radio has been an important part of the marathon since the beginning, and your help is needed again for this year's event. To fully cover all of the mile markers, aid stations, and other positions along the 26.2 mile course, we are looking for around 100 volunteer amateur radio operators, including you! Volunteering online is quick and easy, using the marathon's volunteer registration system. Simply visit http://marathon.central.org/volunteer, select your desired position, and fill out the form. You'll receive email confirmation , and your assignment and detailed instructions will arrive in the mail in mid-April. Note that we will *not* be holding a meeting the day before the race; details on how to obtain your T-shirt and marathon credential will be contained in your assignment packet. For more information, please visit us at http://marathon.central.org/, or contact me via email at jhutz000@gmail.com or phone at 412-401-8348. I look forward to your participation. 73, Jeffrey Hutzelman, N3NHS
