Lake County RACES
Upcoming events
DesPlaines River Canoe Marathon
Lake County RACES is looking for volunteer radio operators and non-ham loggers for this event. We provide communication stations every 1-2 miles along the 18.5 mile route, as well as start and finish lines. Even if you can’t commit to the whole day, you can sign up for whatever time period you are available.
Spend a day on the beautiful Des Plaines River, and play radio!
