Meets on the first Sunday of each month to discuss Amateur Radio support of all types of emergency communications including (but not limited to) MARS, SAR, CAP, public service events, except on a Holiday. All properly licensed stations are invited to check into the net.

September 30 – This is a 50K endurance run on high-altitude trails in the Mt. Taylor/La Mosca area. See 50K Run.
The event organizers count on ham radio volunteers to supplement very limited cell service and provide medical/safety communications for the runners. Volunteers would be stationed at aid stations along the course to provide communications with the start/finish area. Volunteers are invited to a post-race barbeque and receive race “swag.” Contact Kurt Coonrod or Jim Dalton, AF5FI, for more information or to volunteer.
October 22, 2023 – Albuquerque area amateurs have supported this event for more than 20 years. As in recent past years, the marathon will follow an out-and-back course from downtown Albuquerque north along the bosque bike path to Paseo del Norte and east to a turnaround point near Edith Blvd., then return. A half marathon and 10K and 5K runs are included in the event, as well as several walks of varying distances. We will need a substantial number of volunteers to cover rest stops along the course, to provide medical communications, and to shadow race officials as well as a few bicycle mobile stations and sag vehicles.
Information/volunteers: please contact Ed Ricco, N5LI, [email protected]; 247-4866(h); 768-7314(w); unless otherwise indicated in the description of the particular event.
No meeting was held in May because of the public service events that same weekend.
