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.
