2019 Marathon

[Love Machine]

Who's volunteering? I signed up today.

What type of experience is needed? I'd like to volunteer if there's still space.

 

[Love Machine]

You need to have at least a technician license. I'd sign up quick before training happens.

 

[mcshooter]

I have my tech, and a few 2 meter hts.

Thanks.

We are only accepting applications from Amateur Radio Operators, Licensed Massage Therapists, and individuals with special instructions from their group leader at this time.​

In other words,
Q.E.D.

Thank you, there's always a shortage of operators, especially in bad weather.

 

[Love Machine]

I got posted to the course - check your emails for your marathon posting!

those are not real operators

Operators gotta operate

Did anyone get the frequency specs for this year?

And nipples, don't forget them nipples.

If they put nipples on the irritated balls of marathon runners,
I'm staying far away.

I’ll be volunteering in Hopkinton about 2-3 miles from the starting line but in a slightly different capacity (fire/EMT). Fingers crossed for no rain (last year was less than pleasant)

 

[Love Machine]

Last year I couldn't participate, but was happy I missed it!

Don't knocker it until you've tried it.

<R.E.M. - What's The Frequency, Kenneth? (Official Music Video)>

Dan Rather: "Kenneth, what is the frequency?"​

Really worth a read by everybody,
because of the story of killer William Tager's insanity.

When people say that radio waves are affecting their brain,
and that news anchors are sending them secret messages
during broadcasts, take them seriously;
because that's an actual pathology. And it may not end well
(the dead NBC stagehand would agree).

I had to back out. Work is nuts right now.

Was going to work transpiration again. So, if anyone signed up and is on a wait list, at least one slot should be open now!

 

[blindfire]

Last year I couldn't participate, but was happy I missed it!

Yeah...last year sucked. Tons of hypothermia issues. Great experience...but man...it is insane how many people they get to volunteer. Somewhere in the range of 1,800 volunteers including 200-250 HAMS.

 

[Love Machine]

I don't think we have a radio wait list - they're still accepting new apps for hams. I'm on the course somewhere. Going to be the first marathon that my little daughter sees.

 

[Love Machine]

Aaaaand I'm called into work on Monday. FML, this is the second time in a row.
