Posted at the request of Maz Sabo K7MAX, via CARES EC Steve Jensen KE7GXC:
PARC (Portland Amateur Radio Club) is coordinating public service communications for the Tillamook Burn on May 10, 11 and 12. We’d love to invite anyone interested in CARES to participate.

Tillamook Burn Race
Communications Support Sign-Up
~ May 10th, 11th & 12th ~
We still have open time slots we need to fill.
PARC is supporting The Tillamook Burn 20 Miler, 50 Miler and 50K races, on May 10th, 11th, and 12th.
We are providing communications along the race course in the Tillamook Forest, which has little to no reliable cell phone coverage.
Our goal is to help ensure runners are safe by providing a communication channel between the aid stations, the start/finish line, and the race director.
Please consider signing up for one or more operator time slots.
We would like to have a couple people at each station, so if you haven’t done an event like this in the past, you’ll have someone who can help mentor you.
Check out our Tillamook Burn event page for more info at
If you have any questions, please email Max –
