Starting off the Century ride, Don, ND7L checks in with Net Control to find out should he turn right or left out of the parking lot. Net control responded, “Just follow the bicycles.” See more photos... |

| The first Idaho State Convention was a huge success. The committee hoped for 300 visitors and was pleased that 500 from thirteen states attended. There were 19 exhibitors, 25 seminars and forums, special events station, a flea market, QCWA luncheon and shuttle bus for area excursions. The event was fun and informative for all that attended. The ISC awarded over $5,000 in prizes.
The VOI ARC and the ARRL sponsored the convention. The committee would like to thank all of the many volunteers who helped to bring the convention together. See photos....

| The next VOI sponsored communication event is coming up fast and volunteers for emergency communications are needed. The Bob LeBow Bike Tour - Health Care for All ride is June 13. The ride starts in Nampa. This is a great, fun event for Hams that benefits the Terry Reilly Health Services Zero Pay Fund.

A new 25 mile ride has been added for 2009. As the ride continues to grow, more hams are needed to cover the courses. Doug, W7DBR will be our voice Net Control and Bill, KC7JSD, will be the ARPS Net Control.
Volunteers are needed for SAG wagons and to ride with roving bike mechanics. A mobile radio or a HT with external mag-mount antenna will be helpful. Loaner radio equipment will be available.
