[HATS] Marathon First Look

[Ed Manuel (N5EM)]

Gang,

Congratulations and thanks to all who participated.  Without a report from 
everyone that was involved, it looks like we did OK.  Certainly as well as 
in previous years.

We covered 6 waterstations (9, 12, 13, 15 and 22), as well as a reception 
points at the GR Brown and Harris County EOC.

Reception of the 2.4 ghz. output at EOC seemed to be OK - the ever present 
frequency hopping interference was there.

George W5GFP out did himself with a camera platform on top of his enclosed 
trailer.  First class.

I got some good shots of our operating position.  Please send me your 
e-photos for a 2001 Marathon webpage.  As soon as I get it built, I'll 
forward the URL so you can see all the pics.

It was fun - if you missed it, you missed out.

Next year we need more points.  We need YOU.  So, get your act together and 
start getting ready.

Ed, N5EM
