HB RACES prepares for Baker to Vegas Relay
February 12, 2006 06:43
HB RACES will once again support the Huntington Beach Police Department Running Team (B2V Team #28) by providing critical logistical and safety communications. The 22nd Annual Challenge Cup -- a 120-mile, 20-stage, foot, relay race, which starts in Baker, California (gateway to Death Valley), through the California desert, over the mountains, to Las Vegas, Nevada -- will be held March 31 - April 2, 2006. Running teams are restricted to sworn law enforcement personnel (Police and Sheriff Departments, judges, bailiffs, and other agencies and service teams). All of the teams are responsible for providing their own logistics and support efforts, including communications.
Several changes to the communications plan required the overhaul of the W6GOS APRS tracker box used to track the teams progress on the course. Wayne Yoshida, KH6WZ, Peter Barbour, N6RAS and Steve Graboff, W6GOS completed the rework and report they are now conducting on-the-air testing on 144.390 MHz until race weekend. Look for '028T' with your favorite APRS software or web based tracking site now and on race weekend.
HB RACES B2V communications team is managed this year by Margret Cerecedes, KE6OAR.
