It’s that time of year again and we are looking for volunteers for the annual Calico Trail Run.

Date: January 26,2025

We provide ham radio support and assist the race director while the Barstow 4Wheelers do the race support, like rest area and food/drink for the runners. We will be using a 440Mhz machine on top of Calico peak and most aid stations can operate on just a handheld but others need a mobile or portable station for good repeater access. Having an off-road vehicle is necessary for some stations while others can be accessed with a basic truck. Also If need be we can arrange for you to go with a Barstow 4Wheeler to get access to your station.

Please let Jim Seifert AD6WL know if you are able to help support this event or if you are interested in supporting it.

Baker to Vegas Waiting for race to start after Shoshone command post setup.

The Baker to Las Vegas race was completed this year and the Barstow Amateur Radio club was able to provide Communications and support for the four San Bernardino County Sheriff teams at the Shoshone Base. The post was set up on the 8th and began providing communications at 0800 on the 9th of April. It was not shut down until 2200 after the last runner had passed. One of the Sheriff teams finished 4th in class. Complete details with pictures were presented at the regular club meeting on the 14th of April. Thanks to Bob KO6BOB who coordinated with Jack K6XS and Bill N6WL who assisted.
