[aprssig] Climate Ride APRS for Sept NYC-DC Event

[Bob Bruninga]

Climate Ride is a Bicycle Ride from NYC to DC as noted below.  They are asking for Prius or Plug-in Electric cars cars for their support vehicles.

I think APRS and ham radio could really be helpful and gain some visibiliy by providing our typical public service support communications and APRS for the SAG vehicles.  If any clubs or individuals want to help out, lemme know (and include your location).
