Nature's Harmony Eco Race - Sept. 25th
Primary tabs
*** Note: We (NBARC) have now (Saturday, Sep 11th) been requested by Harmony Haven to provide communications for their event.
Please sign up on the event page to indicate your interest. Thanks.. Paul, VA3PC ***
As a followup to an issue was raised at the meeting last night; whether there is sufficient interest in attending the first running of the Nature's Harmony Eco Race in Mattawa three Saturdays from now, September 25th.
From the information posted at the website, there will be aid stations every 5 km, and those runners doing 50 km will be looping the course, so it would appear that we'll need at least 5 radio operators out there to have a radio at each checkpoint to cover everything (assuming the repeater is available and the course is similar to the Lost in the Rocks course...).
If you are available and interested in attending, please do sign up using the "will attend" button on the NBARC website event posting.

Topo flyover
One cool feature of the new Google Earth version 5 is the Show Elevation Profile option... I did a screen capture of a flyover of the course (using the open source Camstudio program as the record feature is only in Google Earth Pro)
