Please note your assignment and the information that I currently have for you. If a cell phone number is not listed for you, please forward this information to me if you would like the number published. I am expecting a determination and final decision on the location of Rest Stop 6/1 in Osceola County tomorrow. Once that has been finalized, the latest revision of the Route Map and Cue Sheets will also be published. Rest Stop 2/5 in Polk County has been finalized. It will be located at "The Barn". an antique dealership and citrus processing business located on S. Central Avenue just South of Cox Road in Alturas. A lot of emphasis was placed on recruiting Bicycle Teams for this year's event. This means there may be large groupings of riders along the route and, as you might expect, large groups of riders will hit the Rest Stops, Lunch Stop in Dundee and also show up at major intersections. All SAG drivers should exercise extra caution when approaching large groups of riders as they may be riding several abreast. The riders will be released from BOK Tower on Saturday and the Caribe Royale Resort Sunday in several flights. The first flight each morning will include the top fund raisers for this year's event. The second way will include the top fund-raising teams followed by one or more flights of the remaining riders. All riders in a given TEAM will be released at the same time (50 mi, 75 mi and Century). Rest Stop 4 in Dundee will likely see some riders very early Saturday morning. We will be working closely with Polk Co. deputies and Orange Co. deputies to make the release of the riders each morning as smooth and safe as possible and with as little disruption as possible to vehicular traffic as possible. On Saturday morning, we will need ALL SAG and GREENWAY units at BOK Tower by 6:15 AM for release onto the route by 6:45 AM. Several SAG operators will be positioned along the roadway leading from the Starting Line to help control the release of the riders. All SAGs and GREENWAY operators will also need to be ready to roll Sunday morning by 6:45 AM unless instructed to remain at the Caribe Royale by the Command Post or Director. As the riders approach the Finish Line Saturday, we will be positioning operators along Poinciana Boulevard to monitor rider progress. KJ4BET and KD4MRL will be working as a team to give the Orange Co. deputies a heads-up on riders approaching the major intersection of CTH 535 & CTH 536 near the Finish Line. If you have a handheld, portable radio, please program the Net frequencies (444.95 [+] 127.3, 443.100 [+] 103.5) and our Traffic Control simplex frequency (445.950) into the H/T and bring it with you. Finally, there will be a Coordination Net at 7:00 PM on Friday, May 15th on the NI4CE system. For those in the Orlando area, we are asking Mike-N4HHA to link the 443.100 repeater to NI4CE for that Net. On behalf of the MS Staff and all the people this bicycle event benefits, thank you for volunteering and participating. 73 de Paul-NA4AR bikeMS Event Communications Coordinator --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bikeMS Central Florida" group.

It looks as though #11115 has survived. It remains to be seen whether it will be classified as recurrent #11115 or new #11117. See below from NASA spaceweather.com http://www.spaceweather.com . THE SUN IS STIRRING: NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is monitoring an active region hidden behind the sun's eastern limb. On May 5th, it produced an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME, movie) and a burst of Type II radio emissions caused by a shock wave plowing through the sun's outer atmosphere. STEREO-B's extreme UV telescope captured this image during the explosion: http://www.spaceweather.com/images2009/05may09/20090505_081530_n7euB_195_strip.jpg At the root of all this activity is probably a sunspot. Its high latitude identifies it as a member of new Solar Cycle 24. The putative sunspot is not yet visible from Earth, but the sun is turning the region toward us for a better view. Readers with solar telescopes should keep an eye on sun's northeastern limb for an emergence on May 7th or 8th. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

I ordered two transistors (one for a backup) for $8.00 including three day USPS shipping >From Icom in Washington. Today I replaced the bad transistor and am good to go now. The area of the board around the transistor did show damage (uplifted circuit board traces) due to excessive heat do to poor design, that being no heat sinking. While replacing the transistor I added a heat sink so should see no more failures. The hardest part of the repair was disassembling the front of rig which took about 40 minutes. 73 & GUD DX, Thomas F.

Giella NZ4O) Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 11:13:23 -0400 Subject: Severe Weather Message-ID: We had quite a busy weather day yesterday. Heavy rainfall totals fell in downtown Lakeland with CoCoRaH's rain gauge totals of 2.50" and 2.68" respectively. In the Kathleen area CoCoRaH's rain gauge totals were 3.41" and 4.01" respectively. On the west side of town towards KLAL and County Line Road .50" diameter hail covered the ground. On the NE side of Lakeland and EF-0 tornado touched down around 5:00 pm. See LSR report below. Here on the south side of town in the Highlands area I measured 0.81". Other nearby CoCoRaH's rain gauges measured 0.77", 0.93" and 1.18" respectively. We could see another round of heavy thunderstorms later this afternoon. With cold and dry air in the mid levels once again, severe weather in the form of strong (60+ mph) down bursting winds, large hail > .50" in diameter and torrential rainfall > 2.00" is probable. A tornado is also possible where the east coast, west coast and outflow boundaries collide. Lightning is not a severe weather parameter but with mid level cold air (-10 deg. C at 500 mb) numerous lightning strikes are probable. With a bit more steering flow from the east the heaviest weather could be on the west side of the county. 498 NWUS52 KTBW 130106 LSRTBW PRELIMINARY LOCAL STORM REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAMPA BAY AREA - RUSKIN FL 906 PM EDT TUE MAY 12 2009 .TIME... ...EVENT... ...CITY LOCATION... ...LAT.LON .DATE... ....MAG.... ..COUNTY LOCATION..ST.. ...SOURCE. ..REMARKS.. 0500 PM TORNADO 4 ENE LAKELAND 28.07N 81.91W 05/12/2009 POLK FL LAW ENFORCEMENT NEAR INTERSECTION OF SMITHTOWN DR AND TERRY ROAD. 4-5 FOOT OAK TREE UPROOTED AND FELL ON CARPORT AND PART OF HOUSE.

I have a late severe weather report for you. 5.7 miles south of Lakeland POL-10A Rainfall- 4.27" between 6:13-11:59 pm Rainfall- 2.00" between 6:30-7:30 pm Considerable flooding of streets, drainage ditches, holding ponds, streams and open fields. One building roof collapse. Lot's of stalled and flooded cars. Failed to heed turn around don't drown rule. Nearby CoCoRaH's rain gauges measured 5.88" and 6.02" respectively. This verifies the 4-6" rainfall estimate by your radar for my area. See virus free attachment. The thunderstorm formed overhead and rained itself out with very little movement of the storm for six hours. This is the single largest rainfall event that I've measured at this location going back to September 2005. My May rainfall total is now 5.19", year 10.01" Take Care, Thomas F.

Giella NZ4O) Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 17:30:06 -0400 Subject: El Nino Weather Pattern Is Here Message-ID: <16E8130A70F44FC2A60C40188423AD40@YOUR5BFDF7BC50> It appears as though we are now in a weak El Nino weather pattern. Just two months ago we were still in a weak La Nina and the third year of a severe drought. On March 19th the SOI was +7.7 and on May 19th was -7.7, quite a reversal. The last time that we saw such a rapid growth into an El Nino weather pattern was in 1997. As many will remember the strongest El Nino ever recorded was during the 1997-1998 period when tremendous record rains fell causing extensive flooding across the state. The recent heavy rainfall is tied to the weak new El Nino and we can expect a wetter than normal summer and a very wet upcoming winter 2009-2010 if we transition into a medium to strong El Nino. We do see fewer hurricanes during an El Nino event but still quite a few named tropical storms. Take Care, Thomas F.

The culprit is and active polar jet stream along the border of Canada and the U.S. and including New England. This brought minimum temperatures in the low to mid 20's this morning in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine! The cold polar high pressure system currently centered over southern Quebec will move out into the Atlantic Ocean, merge with the semi-permanent Bermuda high pressure system and funnel dry sinking air at mid and upper levels into Florida from the NE. This scenario is actually normal and can occur as late as the third week of June. Take Care, Thomas F.
