Equipment
COVID RULES
You must wear a mask for this event. Sorry, but those are the rules.
An HT should be sufficient at most locations. At Water 2 and Mile 5, you may find a portable/mobile set-up more effective.
A head-set is a mandatory accessory for the OSV operator (you will be in the mobile command vehicle, and there is no heat either, so wear layers). Other operators may find a headset useful.
Operational Parameters
We will be operating simplex at 147.525, the normal ARES operational frequency. All stations should be close enough to hear each other, but relays may be needed.
Media Relations
Any questions asked by the public or the media, are to be directed to the Race Officials.
