I have one question to ask you tho. I am a HAM radio operator & would love to be able to listen to the Sweep riders. I understand the HAM radio Southwestern Cactus Intertie system is used - it covers Utah, AZ, CA, NV, NM - (& is actually closed down for that day, except for the Tevis & the human runners). If you could, could you please try to convince the HAM radio "powers that be" to open up the Cactus Intertie system for RECEIVE only? I don't want to be talking (ie: TRANSMIT) to the Sweep riders on my HAM radio, I only would like to listen (ie: RECEIVE). They can control this. I have contacted the people who I understand are in charge of radio communications, & they kind of blew me off, as they apparently thought (in their opinion) 1 lowly HAM endurance rider isn't enough for them to figure out how to do this (& I could help them in AZ tho!). Yet, I feel that is not in the spirit/ purpose of HAM radio communications (HAM radio enthusiasts try to reach people/ events from far away, in emergencies, & for disaster help etc). One has to be a paid member to TRANSMIT over the Intertie system, but not to just listen (RECEIVE). I know theres few HAM radio endurance riders, but it would be incredibly useful, fun, & a learning experience, for me to figure out how to get my radio to connect + listen to a great race (& I know I can do it, they just won't open the system up to Receive)! I can't be part of the Sweep riders as I live 1700 miles away, unfortunately. Anyway, Thank you in advance for your help in the future! I will help get things moving for next yr in AZ, if you need me, & are interested in doing this.
