Bank of America Chicago Marathon CMT14

They came in the dark of night

Erecting all manner of antenna

Capturing energy from strange devices

Unit 3

Kenn takes a pizza order

Duane and Marc try to make things fit

in support of the Med team

With lots of ice to cool the radios under heavy use

and of course there were donuts

A happy team!

Four State Exercise

Des Plaines River Canoe Race Day

Jason, Les, Marc at the start line

A very typically organized start line

Receiving instruction

A new net operator is created

Official timers checking the sundial

Matt with lots of gear but no radio

Someone yelled abandon ship

Next year I’ll bring a weed whacker

Can you hear me now? Is this line of sight?

It’s a good thing he’s standing, it looks like his boat is sinking

I love a parade

First name – Bigfoot, last name – Vibrum

Not likely to catch a fish here!

Sending semaphore

Paddle retraction

A Cantenna, it radiates better when filled with popcorn

Ready to count boats and mark their passing

And the rangers mark the end of the day as they pass your station
