For 35 years I raised and ran sled dogs here in AK. 1982-1988 I
volunteered as radio operator from remote checkpoints on the Iditarod
Sled Dog Race held each March from Anchorage to Nome (nearly 1200
miles thru the AK roadless wilderness). In the early years of the
race, ham radio provided communications for reporting progress of the
teams using 80/40m and for supporting logistics (every thing either
hauled by snowmachine or by light aircraft). A lot of fun living in
a wall-tent at -60F!
1989 I was hired as a marine radio operator in support of the Exxon
Oil Spill outside of Valdez, AK. Spent 13-months on that job.
My ham radio/2-way radio tech and experience as an emt got me that job.
I also have carried an HT while hiking/backpacking in the Sierra of
CA (1970's).
