The Radio Club coordinated all communicatons between the base and each of the ten rest stops throughout the counties of Westlock and Sturgeon.\u00a0 Volunteers were stationed at each location and managed all requests for rider pickups, food transfers, supplies delivery, and first aid.\u00a0 A motorcycle sweep, a roving operator and base personnel were also provided.<\/p>\n
