Thanks Jim for setting up the tread for Net Control  .... Currently, net control assignments are TDB.  That said, there is a small group of Ham Volunteers (who have worked at the Net Control Station before) working on the frequency plan (discussions reserved for different thread), and the revision of the NCS guide.  The Net Control Station will operate from the Armed Forces Retirement Home (AFRH) again this year.  This site gives the NCS good comms to all 11 repeaters used for the MCM.  There will be again 3 Race nets (A, B & C), as in years past.  Also, FY/SA:  the 1x1 call N4M has been once again approved for the period 25 Oct through 1 Nov 2023 for use by the Marine Corps Marathon.  Mike, WA8AHZ

Hi, Mike.  Two other reasons why that's a great location for this event.  [1] It's good simplex on VHF to nearly all of the course.  (440 MHz suffers an additional 9 dB path loss.)  Great if repeaters fail.  [2] It's far enough away from the course (about 3 miles) that, should something catastrophic happen, the AFRH location is far more likely to survive.  I hope this helps.  73, art.....
