Annually, SFRC members volunteer to participate in providing crucial communications for various public events, one of which, are marathon races.

On Sunday, February 2, 2025 is the annual SF Half Marathon that runs through the Panhandle area and Golden Gate Park. This is a call for SFRC Members to volunteer for communications operations. This is a smaller race so we're just needing a dozen or so of you to help. If you are new to the hobby or to working a marathon, we always try to accommodate everyone by grouping you up with other experienced operators so you can learn the experience. We will primarily be using our UHF DMR repeater for this race. If you need a loaner, please note it when you register.

Please join us for this marvelous activity and give your rig a workout.

ABOUT
The San Francisco Radio Club (SFRC) was formed in 1909 by a handful of radio enthusiasts with the objective of exchanging messages over the air. In 1916 the president at time, Henry W. Dickow (6HD), founded the club and published the first Yearbook.

Today, 100 years later, the SFRC continues to operate as a not-for-profit Amateur Radio Club servicing the city of San Francisco and the community. Our members’ interests cover the entire spectrum of what Amateur Radio Service has to offer. We are a long standing member of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) and with our members we participate in, and organize events including Field Day, supporting the San Francisco Marathon.
