Upcoming events
October 12, 2025 - CHICAGO MARATHON
It is signup time already.
Several hundred hams participate, and LC RACES has an aid station team each year.
We hope to do that again this year, and we encourage any new hams to join us. You will learn a lot about operating in radio events. No experience and no equipment needed to be on the team (an HT is helpful).
Contact Marc/W9MDD if you have any question.
