watching and waiting

"Hurry up and wait" is often the motto during events for which LO/ARES volunteers

listening is also important

LO/ARES reminds its members that "release to listen" is equally as important as "push to talk" on their radios!

APRS tracking

K7GPN's Jeep followed the pace car during the 2008 Lake Run. The APRS unit transmitted signals which were received on a local amateur radio frequency. That information was sent via internet to our booth, where the real time progress was displayed on a TV screen.
