Bicycle Mobile HAM Volunteer
A number of cyclists that are Amateur Radio Operators prefer to cycle during the tours. We
have found, on occasion, that these operators brought their mobile HAM equipment and provided direct information from the route regarding road hazards and rider conditions. We created the Bicycle Mobile HAM Riding position to allow cycling HAMs the opportunity to support the tour as a Riding Volunteer by taking one day off from riding to volunteer as a Site Coordinator or Rider Services Assistant while spending the rest of the tour riding and relaying traffic for service/supplies and staying in communication with the Non-Riding Ham volunteers. Bicycle Mobile Hams must provide own amateur radio equipment and pays a registration fee of only $50. More info
