Greetings!

The Marine Corps Marathon is October 31st!

If you want a test of your operating preparation and skill-here it 
is!  This is an opportunity to work on a truly regional team providing 
Emergency Communications. Acting as eyes on the course, relaying 
information about runners in trouble or medical emergencies to Emergency 
Medical Service and Naval Medical personnel, it is a real-time operation 
that can go from quiet to an emergency in the blink of an eye. You need not 
be a hardened veteran to help out!

Approximately 100 operators are needed for various locations along the 
course in Washington DC and VA. There are positions available for Medical 
Aid Stations, Net Control and locations on the route. Some positions 
require HTs while others, like Rock Creek Park, require mobile radios and a 
mast. Do you have portable packet, APRS or Amateur TV?  There are needs for 
these skills and equipment as well.
