Marin Century notes
Adding notes from our volunteers
From Bloomfield, we could get in to both Tam and English Hill with my twin lead j-pole and Dennis’s FTM-350 Mobile.
The usual Stinson Beach challenges with radio reception. Worked well with the fog but disappeared with it as well! Thanks to all the Net Controllers for hanging in there with us! Otherwise a beautiful “Day at the Beach”
From Lagunitas School: The century ride was pretty straight forward and definitely not air conditioned like Callum’s foggy rest stop.
We had several riders who made wrong turns, including one who passed through the rest stop twice because he turned right instead of left after circumnavigating the Classic Southern loop/Nicasio Reservoir. Only one person was SAGd out for medical reasons – a heat related illness. He was assessed by a rider who was a nurse practitioner instead of the EMT.
Here is Heat-related illness info from the CDC that may be helpful for future events or out hiking/biking in hot weather. Of course as radio operators we will not be diagnosing or treating anything but as a radio hiker I have seen people in the heat exhaustion phase and heat cramping phase on the Double Dipsea 2 years ago when it was hot AND smoky.

San Francisco Radio Club Supporting 2023 San Francisco Marathon
The San Francisco Radio Club has been invited back to manage the Communications Team for the San Francisco Marathon. This is the biggest event for the club this year and we need your participation!
All operators, experienced or not, can participate. This is a great opportunity to put your skills to work, learn by shadowing an experienced operator and have fun! This is all about helping the community for a few hours, preparing for the unexpected and building on the reputation of our club.
The event takes place mainly in the city and spans over the Golden Gate Bridge for a few miles this year. Parking and access should not be a problem for the most part. We are looking for operators to man the 18 water stations, 6 SAG vehicles, our NET operation station as well as a sweep (ideally on a bike).
We will be using our Sutro UHF DMR Repeater as a primary and our Sutro VHF W6PW repeater as a secondary for this event. Frequencies and backup repeaters are listed in the registration page.
We appreciate and thank you for your participation as a member of the San Francisco Radio Club Communications Team. Your generosity and skills are valued contributions towards the success of these events, and are noted and appreciated by the event organizers and medical personnel, whom we partner with each year.
