It is up to the amateur radio operators to keep track of all of the runners that are on the course.

About eight years ago W6TRW  amateur radio club got involved with doing radio communications for this event. Our club sponsors stage 18. It’s a special spot for us, it is located in the middle of a neighborhood so this stage must be silent.

We use radios to communicate and also computers.  We also use the clubs radio truck for this event.

This is one event that there is real emergency traffic taking place.

 Staffing:  We are looking for 7 more Volunteers and looking for an IT person.

This event takes place on March 23 and 24 of 2019
