the finish line |
 The finish line - and Fil W8FIL, Sunday's Net Control. Fil was also on duty for a set of Tours on Saturday - shorter local tours, and a long one from Chesapeake, VA. The Outer Banks Repeater Association provided communications for that event.  The
hams of Eastern North Carolina really came together to perfrom a public
service. I think everyone had a good time, and learned something
about handling a large operation, too.
Of course, there is always room for improvement, always a few things you observed that we should know about next time (like using the 146.805 repeater for starting line coverage, tweaking the route to avoid traffic - and railroad tracks). And there are stories. Experiences not documented in the past few pages, or details I've missed. Have you got one? Send 'em to me! kn4aq@arrl.net. Finally, if you liked working on the Tour de Cure and want some more, check out the MS-150. And I'll see you there, or next year. 73,
