Volunteers On the Road

Wild West Relay and Flaming Foliage Relay logos

WARS has volunteered at the Wild West Relay (200 miles) and Flaming Foliage Relay (167 miles) races for the last 2 years. We manage a runner's camping/sleeping area, a hospitality tent, and a runner's exchange point at each of the races. Of course our priority at any of these events is to keep everyone safe and help out in whatever way we can. This is a great way to spread goodwill within our community through amateur radio. Just look at the smiles on the satisfied runners and support staff! A group of 3 smiling runners A runners exchange area with portable canopy and the WARS banner

Field Day 2024

ARRL Colorado Section Manager Amanda Alden K1DDN with WARS members

Field Day 2024 is in the books. We operated as a 2 Alpha (2 transmitters plus a VHF/UHF station) and had our trailer set up for packet radio.

The picnic drew a good crowd and we managed to contact 46 states in the 24 hours of operations. Thanks to everyone that helped set up, cook food, make contacts, fix antennas, and tear down.
Let's do it again next year!
