The Lakeland Amateur Radio Club was proud to assist with communications support for this year’s March for Babies event on Saturday, May 31st. Despite the earlier rain, spirits were high as about 175 walkers made their way around Lake Hollingsworth.

Here’s the team that helped keep everything running smoothly:

Net Control: Bill — KK4LYQ

Station #1: Bill — K4JZ

Station #2: Kenny — KM4UYX & Howard — K4THC

Station #3: Ringo — N4SI & Stacy — N4SDB

Station #4: Bob — NC8I

Rover: Jim — W4XDS

Tail-End Charlie: Eric — W4EMT

Big thanks to everyone who turned out and represented amateur radio in action! Here are some photos from the event:
