Well our annual multi-day event is over!
Thanks to Bruce VA3BDR, Chris VA3CMX, Howard VE3GMG, Drew VE3MAF, and Dan VE3YUI we had all the help we needed for the three days of the festival. Also to Wanda VE3KOJ for the use of her cellphone, and Evelyn VE3MAA who assisted with the setup earlier in the week.
Friday was a typical festival day with minor issues and lots of traffic back and forth between all parties.
Saturday was the busiest, with heat issues taking a toll on the attendees after noon, then an hour or so of weather that evening when a front came out of nowhere to drown the Meatloaf (and it didn't use gravy).
On Sunday we had an hour or so with no power, but the UPS kept the server operating, and the radio laptop's battery hung in there so we could enter information. We had 4 portable radios operating the command post during the outage.
The club's tower trailer behaved well during the storm, and made the journey both ways from Drew's place after the tire was pumped up. It held air for a couple days, but the slow leak is still there.
Till next year..

The 2012 Patrick4Life Walk/Run is this coming Sunday June 10th. The 1/2 marathon walkers start about 0730ET with the 1/2 marathon runners starting about 0830. Bill would like those volunteering to show up about 0730ET. This gives us time to get set-up and pick up a coffee etc before the traffic starts. I plan to be there between 0700 and 0715 to get a good parking spot.
See you there.

Patrick4Life event was held June 10th, 2012. The day started out mainly cloudy with a few rain showers but cleared up and the sun came out at the end. There were approximately 915 runners/walkers registered.

NBARC provided health and welfare communications. In attendance were Bill VA3SPT, Gerry VE3YO, Howard VE3GMG, Doug VA3DLJ, Paul VA3PC, Lori VE3LOR and yours truly. Things went well with routine communications. The 1/2 marathon was 21.1K and started at 0800ET. The first runners were back by 0920ET and it was all over by 1100ET. It was a great morning's outing.
