(OHIO PENN DX) ** KICKER: RADIO RIDES ALONG FOR MOUNT WASHINGTON HILLCLIMB JIM/ANCHOR: For our final story, we visit Mount Washington in the United States, a summit known to pose a challenge to anyone who wants to get to the top. Amateur radio helped make that triumphant trip safer recently for some bicyclists, as we hear from Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB. RALPH: There's no question in anyone's mind that New Hampshire's Mount Washington, the highest peak in the northeastern United States, presents a climb to remember, whether by car, by foot or even by bicycle. The summit of 6,288 feet - or nearly 2 km -- is hardly a challenge for radio waves, which is why hams from clubs and emergency service units throughout the state and other parts of New England were on hand a few weeks ago for the 49th annual Mount Washington Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb. More than 500 cyclists turned up for the event, which is the largest fundraising event held by the Tin Mountain Conservation Center, a environmental education group in New Hampshire. Riding up what is considered by experts to be one of the world's toughest hill climbs, cyclists were assisted only by their own stamina and muscle power -- and of course the power of amateur radio. It was a particularly big day for one cyclist, a four-time winner who not only regained his title but set a new record of 50 minutes and 38 seconds. The ride itself raised more than $20,000 for the nonprofit group. It was also a big win for the hams who were given a big share in everyone's victory. Race director Erin Holmes told the competitors afterward [quote]: "We could not do this event year after year without teams at the Mount Washington Auto Road and the Central New Hampshire Amateur Radio Club as our eyes on the mountain to keep you all safe." [end quote] In that respect, everyone crossed the finish line together. I'm Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB.
