Getting my gear together for the big race tomorrow. Should be a lot easier than the Ski to Sea as I just have to radio the first runners and the last runners with the police escort. I will be taking care of any emergency communications so that will be a new thing.
There is a fixed set of communications frequencies that we will be using so getting the radios programmed to them as well as to the police and fire channels (listen only).
I have always used the Anderson PowerPole (I buy them from these wonderful people) for the electrical connections - now that I have a couple of radios, this makes things really plug and play - brilliant invention. The emergency services have also standardized on these connectors so if I need to set up my system in their trailer, I will be able to do so with a minimum of fuss. Standards are a good thing...
