If you like getting some radio air time and seeing happy, fit people (who thank you for being there) then the Santa Barbara Triathlon is the event for you. I am looking for a small handful more of HAM Radio Operators to help support the safety of these people who come from all over the place to swim, bike, and ride in a wonderful event. The event is Saturday August 27, 2016 from 0700 until about noon. The people are friendly, the radio operators are nice, and I promise you will have a good time. Bring a chair so you can sit down and enjoy this event and talk on the net.

Please contact Rick Whitaker at

if you want to join. Who knows you may even get a cool T-shirt to wear around that looks like you were part of the Santa Barbara Triathlon.
