Description:
It is that time of year, to start forming the roster and making preparations for the 11th Annual Bandera 100k Ultra-Marathon held at Hill Country State Natural Area in Bandera County.
Tejas Trails Communication Group – Sponsored by Hill Country REACT has been the lead team for communications for this event the past 8 years with the assistance of many hams from the San Antonio, Austin and other areas around the state..
This event typically requires 15 – 16 Amateur Radio Operators in a situation that is similar to what an Emergency Communications Operator would experience in a disaster zone. UHF, VHF and Packet communications are involved in this event.
This is a fun event with challenges. The participants of this event, are of a type you will not encounter at most other events we deal with throughout the year. Over the years, we have made some lasting friendships!

Also, we are working on a special door prize item, which all participating hams will have their call sign put in a hat, and a drawing Saturday evening!
