Finish at the Fifty, Monday, July 3
(From Brett Smith, AB1RL)
The Finish at the Fifty is a unique event on the public service calendar. It’s a combined 5K and 10K on the evening of July 3. The finish line for both races is the 50-yard line of Gillette Stadium, and there’s a free fireworks show after. It’s got a lot of energy, and particular challenges for runner safety (they go up and down the ramps of the stadium!). Given the size of the course, the medical team relies on amateur radio volunteers for communications support and to keep extra eyes on runners.
Recruiting for this event is always a challenge because of the date. A lot of people have travel plans, which I understand. Because of that, please join our team if you’re able. Chris Troyanos is the medical coordinator for this event. He would always like to have more coverage, and he would love to have our support especially.
To sign up, just email me with your call sign, cell phone number, and t-shirt size. Plan to be there from around 4:30 to 8:30 PM. All you need is a dual band handheld and any accessories that will keep you comfortable. Further instructions will follow.
If you have questions about the event, please don’t hesitate to get in touch by e-mail at ab1rl-pubserv@brettcsmith.org.

Hello world!
Welcome to the beta version of BARC’s new website, a joint effort by Joe Harris, N1QD, and Joe Chapman, NV1W. We hope to deploy this new club website sometime in early summer 2017.
For now, our focus is on getting the membership form and PayPal link working and on moving over information from the old website. Design, photos, and cleaning up minor nits will follow. Comments and offers to help may be sent to N1QD or NV1W.
