Outstanding job. Well produced, spot on. I heard myself saying, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes... all the way through. Thhis is required viewing for any aspiring EMCOMM Op and a great review for the seasoned Elmers. My favorite point (there are many) is Speak at Writing Speed. 73!! KB3JA
probably one of the best ON POINT learning videos I've seen in a very long time. Love the good pace, examples, and the back ground music never drowned out the speakers voices. Outstanding work folks! tu & 73 j
As one who has participated as a radio op in numerous events over a lot of years including a NC for the Western States Endurance Run and Tevis equine endurance race, I think I've seen it all. But for a superfluous "thank you" at the 1:22 mark, terrific training video!! Bravo Zulu! n6med
The "thank you" was an acknowledgement that she had copied. She could have said, "roger" or "copy that" but she did need to acknowledge that she had copied. When I run NCS, I only say "thank you" as an acknowledgement when the response provides all the information that was requested.
@@I-am-EmJay I can understand the tendency to use the expression. However I work hard to use "pro words" that are the most widely understood -- which "thank you" is not and lacks clarity re whether or not the message was copied and understood. MI highly recommend using the list of pro words used int he fire service (ref Firescope) and/or the USCG Radiotelephone Handbook.
Terrific work! I host a RUclips podcast to encourage people to come in to ham radio. I’m doing a segment on emergency and ham radio nets. I’d love to use this video. I think it shows a lot of educational information that’s clearly understandable. I’ll be sure to credit your RUclips channel, put a link in the description section as well as credit the video to your radio club while it’s being played. I think you sincerely for putting together a very well thought out and thorough video about how to keep things organized, well thought out and well carried out. Best wishes, Larry de K7HN
I've participated in a lot of events up in the headlands before I got my ticket. I was aware of radio comms during the events but never gave it much thought; it's nice to see behind the scenes. I'd like to see about helping out one of these days on the radio side as way of giving back.
@@superalpha Adding on what Shannon said, yes, much cheaper. Many hams own their own radios and know how to use them, and the infrastructure is already in place (repeaters, links, etc.) All that would have to be set up for a large marathon event especially in rugged terrain. Also, event employees are usually paid and there aren't enough of them to be at each aid station or checkpoint, in my experience.

Verry Nice. One of the best instructions videos I have seen.
This is a fantastc video every ham who participates in events should watch. There is always something to learn
On point video. I really like your style, absolutely crystal clear and brief.
Excellent succinct instructional video. Thank you MARS team!

Great video. I am preparing for my first support for a marathon, so this helps.

Thanks, we love to hear feedback from participants, y'all are who we are there for.
Great video and very informative.
Good info - should help make us
more efficient. Basics are best.
Very professional presentation.

Nice video. Who had the drone?
I just wish more youngsters were involved..
Strong work, W6SG.
Well done!

I don't understand why public events like marathons or rodeos need amateur radio operators.
Because coherent, effective communication is always good to have for situations where safety and/or logistics is a concern.
@@ShannonOddo and the hosts of the event are incapable of this?
@@superalpha cheaper (and probably more effective) to get a volunteer amateur that knows how to work a radio.

If an event doesn't have enough money to pay for staff and infrastructure then maybe they need to charge more or not hold the event.
