This is the UtahSAG page where we will be listing events that have been confirmed to be occurring soon, hopefully providing HAM operators enough time to schedule their time to help with these events.
Please go to the UtahSAG Calendar to view events through to the end of the year.
And we always end the year with the NWS/NOAA/ARRL Skywarn Recognition Day the first Saturday in December (local time Friday 5:00 PM to 5:00 PM Saturday).
If you are a HAM radio operator who coordinates support for an event that you would like listed on this page, please contact Dan @ n7xdl.dan@gmail.com to have your event listed.
If you are an event director and are interested in having HAM radio support for your event please contact Dan @ n7xdl.dan@gmail.com.

The majority of the ham operators are needed at the aid stations, however some will also be needed at Medical Tents, with the roving Sag vehicles, in the Public Safety area, Net Control, and possibly a few other specialty areas.
-Some of the assignments will be relatively short in duration (for instance, some of the early aid stations) and the participants can go home before 10 AM, others will require that you be present from 6 AM though the end.

ZERO MILES OF PAVEMENT
Explore a land only 45 minutes west of downtown Salt Lake City where hundreds of wild horses roam. It's wide open. It's challenging. And all of it's unpaved. During this adventure, you'll get to experience a landscape few in Utah have traveled. Home to one of Utah's largest herds, estimated to include around 700 horses, the Cedar Mountain Wilderness contains a total of 100,000 acres and is part of the over 109 million acre National Wilderness Preservation System. The Wild Horse travels across the Hastings Cutoff, a historic portion of the California Trail and the route used by the Donner-Reed party in 1846. This segment is a part of the National Historic Trails route stretching from Independence, Missouri, to California and Oregon.
There are three Aid Stations for this ride. We also need 4 SAG drivers.
The ride is 76.2 miles on strictly dirt roads. Trucks and 4x4 Subaru's work well on this terrain.
There is also a 31 mile loop which riders can take. We need 1 (one) Aid Station operator for this ride.
