Here is the list of hams who worked the marathon at what mile markers. Dave Espinoza W5QS started out really early (before 4am) at the start line, acting as Net Control until 9am. Lee Besing N5NTG was at mile marker 4 at 6am, and assumed Net Control duties at 9am, and continued until the race ended at 3:30pm when Lee was the last vehicle to cross the finish line. Literally the last person and vehicle, playing the Porky Pig tune “That’s all folks!”…
Here is the list…
