I don't know how it is now but 15 years ago, when I lived in Utah, I
worked the Wasatch 100 Miler with the Salt Lake ARC and there seemed
to be no shortage of volunteers willing to drive several miles up in
the mountains and stay to the end. All you need is an active club. Bob

That sounds great! I don't know why hams wouldn't want to go camp out in the
mountains (here it is the Hills) and work their radios in shifts?
Our club here is rather small. Everything here is small. We have old and
young members. Not much in the middle. We do seem to be active...just not
where stress is involved... hehe. I'm hoping to get ahold of some of the
young members and get them interested. Our repeater will hit most places
here in the southern hills.
I still think the most reliable communication system from anywhere along an
Ultra course is with HF. Set up the antenna to hit locally. Easiest setup. A
few guys with K1's or KX1's even on foot could be killer communications.
From anywhere!

When being chased by a bear. You don't have to outrun the bear. You just
have to outrun the other guy.
