[SMCARA] Marathon proposal

[Daniel Metcalf]

Tom,

Sound like fun! Good news is the REACT trailer that Gene Talley has may be
available to for such an event. We as a club would have to re-decal the
trailer for SMCARA and help equip it with HF and we should be good to go. I
have already talked to Gene about this and he already has plans to equip
the trailer with HF. We might also purchase a good size eazy-up tent to
store in the trailer for such an event where we have a Net Control Station
and a Special Event Station. To keep the two stations from interfering with
each other.

I like it! Any word from the rest of the club?
