Members of SARO and other hams helped out again at the annual Battle of the Bands Festival, sponsored by the Battle of Flowers Parade organization.   SARO was the coordinating club for communication shadows at this event.

The following 7 hams worked this event…

  • Joe Bruno, W5AUQ – Announcer Shadow
  • Eric Olson, WB5ZJQ – Dignitary Entrance Shadow
  • Sharon Olson, KB5KZD – Band Starter Shadow
  • Wendell Peters, AA5VN – Producer Shadow
  • MaryAnne Horn, N5MYN – Operations Shadow
  • David Besing, KD5MTJ – Medical Shadow
  • Lee Besing, N5NTG – Security Shadow
