The San Francisco Radio Club has been invited back to manage the Communications Team for the 39th Annual Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Half Marathon 10K & 5K. We will appreciate your assistance for this event! Great preparation for our SF Marathon event in July. All hams experienced or not are welcomed to participate.
This will be a DMR primary, FM secondary radio operation. We will be using our SFARC DMR UHF repeater on 444.225Mhz TG9 and we will fall back to our VHF repeater 145.150Mhz DCS 664 if our primary fails.
If you don't own a DMR transceiver don't worry. You should still consider volunteering. We will have a several radios (pre-programmed) to loan out for this event.
