2024 Kaiser Half Marathon

February 4th, 2024

The San Francisco Radio Club has been invited back to manage the Communications Team for the 40th 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.

We appreciate and thank you for your participation as a member of the San Francisco Radio Club Communications Team, whether that event was the San Francisco Marathon, Walk MS, the UMDF Energy for Life Walkathon, or Brain Tumor Walk. Your generosity and skill 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
