LMARS Annual Go-Box Challenge

Yearly Go-Box Challenge: August 7, 2025

Last year was the kick-off of our yearly Go-Box Challenge. Despite the uncooperative weather we still had good turnout.

The challenge is meant to allow our club members to show off their Go-Boxes and power Stations. Participants can share with the group what they use in the field. It is a chance for everyone to see what others have and use as a Go-Box, Power Box, and gear.

To participate in the Challenge Activity Go-Box and/or Power Box should be created and assembled by the participant. It also needs to have been field deployed and you should have made some contacts with it.

To participate in the in the Showcase Activity you can bring you store bought and assembled Go-Box and/or Power Box. We would love to see what you have.

We will set the gear up on tables in the back space meeting area but we will not fully deploy the antenna systems. We can show a representation of the antenna system.

We will have two categories for the Challenge Activity and there will be special certificates for 1ST and 2ND place finishers. The participants will receive votes by all the attendees and the winners will be decided by the number of votes. Categories are as follows:

Go-Box: This includes your radio, power, and antenna system. It can be gear you tote in a backpack or something you put together in a container of some sort.

Power Systems: This is any special power system you have put together to operate portable in the field. As with the Go-Boxes, it can be gear you tote in a backpack or something you put together in a container of some sort. \

Thanks and I hope you join the Challenge. If you have any questions, or need help with something, reach out to me.
