As I recall we have the radios right? We have bought several revisions of them over the years.

The corner station boxes are still in the trailer aren't they? Each of them used to have a stationary radio in each with a rechargable drycell battery that was good for more than one event. The problems were that they needed to be recharged before each event and it was sometimes a pain. In addition we had traveling radios for the "event officials" basically what Chad described.

The club goes through cycles of people. It sort of seems that lessons learned from one group of people don't necessarily get carried over to the next group of people.
