Planning for the 2024 Peachtree has started (it is on July 4th, 2024, from pre-dawn to noon), and signups are now open. Please sign up at https://atlantatrackclub.volunteerlocal.com/volunteer/?id=84589 using the password “PRR24HAM”. Once you enter the password, you should see the ARES slot. Use this link to sign up as either an Amateur Radio Operator or a GMRS Radio Operator. Like last year, we successfully used GMRS operators inside Piedmont Park and will do so again this year.
Draft assignments won’t be available until mid June, but it is important to sign up as early as possible. This is because we’re always asked to help out more than we can with the number of volunteers we get, so signing up early lets us tell the track club and city what missions we should be able to assume early enough that they have enough time to make alternate arrangements for the other duties.
Please forward this message to your local clubs — this event is open to all levels of experienced radio operators and you do not need to be a member of ARES to participate.
Thank you for your help and we look forward to working with you again!
