The weekend included camping, = live music, food trucks, and family activities. Hickman County is among Tennessee=E2=80=99s most rural and rugged areas, kn= own for its rolling hills, winding backroads, and extremely limited communi= cations infrastructure. The county has only two known amateur radio repeate= rs, one of which was off the air during the event weekend. Most of the cour= se had no cellular or internet coverage, creating an ideal test for the cap= abilities of amateur radio during real-world conditions. =C2=A0 Despite the challenges, NARC and supporting club members deployed a coordin= ated network of operators positioned at rest stops, aid stations, and along= the event=E2=80=99s course routes. Using VHF/UHF simplex and the one opera= tional repeater, hams maintained reliable contact across dozens of miles of= remote terrain. Pumpkin Patrol Returns for 2025 Every year on Halloween, the Fort Herkimer Amateur Radio Association, W2FHA= , and the New York State Police watch the thruway overpasses in Herkimer Co= unty, New York. This year was the 49th year of this cooperative effort desi= gned to keep drivers safe. Each overpass is monitored by amateur operators,= in their own vehicles, with communications coordination through the club= =E2=80=99s Disaster Action Response Trailer (DART). The operation spanned 2= nights and involved 24 operators.
