The Club's participation in the San Francisco Marathon was a huge success. There were a few rough edges in the beginning in communication link reliability but there are always challenges with the terrain of San Francisco with VHF & UHF. Even though those club members who participated in this event were radio amateurs, they all performed like pros. Nick Powell, NF1P, and Scott Esters AF6RT, were the Net Controls and kept the communication event running like a fine tuned watch. 

A message from Nick to all volunteer radio ops:

Thank you to each of you for your assistance providing communications support for the medical team during The San Francisco Marathon-2011.

The praise and gratitude we have been and continue receiving is due entirely to your service. We appreciate your contributions of time, talent, and equipment, and hope that you enjoyed your time, as well. We especially appreciate your patience and ingenuity, while we worked together to resolve issues throughout the day, from managing supplies and transport to deployment of better antennae and rigs to formerly difficult to reach stations. It is fantastic that we were able to maintain steady repeater communications to virtually every aid station. Although it does appear that I need to invest in a new antenna for my mobile base station….

While we believe everything ran well, we know there is room for improvement, and so we welcome and encourage candid feedback towards making future events better and better. Also, we will appreciate your forwarding any aid station (cellular telephone) pictures to my email address, so we may have them as a planning reference for future events.

Unless you indicate otherwise, we will continue informing you of similar events, and look forward to volunteering with you in the future
