Annual Christmas Parade

The Bradley County EMA Coordinator has requested as many volunteers as are available to control traffic along the parade route for the annual Cleveland Christmas Parade on Saturday, December 5.

RSVPs are appreciated, and should be addressed to Steve Webber by email at ka4eln@gmail.com. A mandatory briefing will be held at 4:00pm EST (21:00 UTC) at the Cleveland Police Department, where location assignments will be given. ANSI/DOT Orange safety vests are required. The club has a limited number of vests available for loan if you do not have one.

Operations will be conducted on the W4GZX-UHF repeater at 444.275MHz with a positive (+) input offset. A PL tone of 114.8Hz will be used during the event.

All participants are asked to be at their assigned locations by 5:00pm EST (22:00 UTC) to secure the route. The parade is scheduled to begin at 6:00pm EST (23:00 UTC) and is anticipated to run until 10:00pm EST (03:00 UTC), so please dress appropriately for the cold.

Wishing everyone an enjoyable weekend,
