There are many stories and even more pictures to be shared from the trail. Be sure to attend the April General Membership Meeting as we share the adventures from stormy THREE MONTHS TO FIELD DAY weather to runaway dog teams that make the Iditarod so much fun. Set-up is on Friday evening, June 24th. We are hoping to get Kincaid Park again (same location as last year). The HF “competition” begins Saturday morning, June 25th at 1000 (local), running 24 hours until Sunday, June 26th at 1000 (local). Field Day Rules are available on the ARRL website. This year the emphasis is on young operators and we can earn bonus points by using operators 18 years or younger. Assuming Red Cross participation, we will again be operating Class 2F. We are looking for “King Comms” for each bonus point category. All of these categories have a solid basis in emergency communications preparation: The ??? means a volunteer is needed to take Jesse, KL1RK, before the Iditarod. responsibility for that position. editor ++++++++++++++++++++++ The All-Important Infrared Station: ???

PRESS RELEASE March 1, 2012 Texas boy’s Iditarod wish comes true with help from Donlin Gold March 1, 2012 – Anchorage, Alaska – Donlin Gold continues its tradition of helping make wishes come true. Three thousand miles from his physical therapist and doctors, Nathan, a nine-year-old boy living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, will experience the role of Alaskan musher and the immense power and speed behind a sled dog team in the Iditarod. With the help of his friends at the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Alaska & Washington and Donlin Gold, Nathan will live a week-long Alaskan experience, including the highly coveted role of IditaRider. As an IditaRider, Nathan will travel the first leg of the race, approximately 11 miles through Anchorage, with musher Bill Pinkham of Colorado. “Donlin Gold is proud to honor the Alaskan tradition of gold mining and mushing in support of the Iditarod,” says Donlin Gold General Manager Stan Foo. “The Iditarod is a competitive race like no other in the world. And a fitting partnership for us, given that Donlin Gold strives to be like no other mining project in the world, creating economic opportunities for the Yukon-Kuskokwim region while embracing a long-term commitment to health and safety, environmental protection and community development. ” IditaRider opportunities are granted each year by the Iditarod Trail Committee through an auction-style fundraiser and to sponsors. Donlin Gold, which is owned equally by wholly owned subsidiaries of Barrick Gold and NovaGold Resources, joined as a principal sponsor in 2011 and has donated its IditaRider honor to the Make-A-Wish Foundation both years.
