Club to talk endurance
The Whidbey Ham Radio Club will be featuring a presentation on tracking on Saturday during its monthly meeting.
The presentation will include a group of Island County Ham Radio operators who helped to provide communication in remote areas for the “Bigfoot 200” annual 200-mile endurance race. The Big Foot 200, part of the “triple crown” of endurance races, attracts hundreds of athletes competing on rugged terrain in the Mount St. Helen’s Volcanic Monument area.
As a part of their training for emergency preparedness, a group of amateur radio operators from Whidbey Island traveled south to spend five days in the wilderness to provide safety and emergency communications for the participants.
