Title: Corner Wokers? How to get involved.
Post by: ssduc750 on March 01, 2007, 04:43:22 PM
My Brother In Law is interested in helping out as a corner work at some events at BHF this year. Who does he need to get in touch with? Do you still have to pay to get in for the weekend? Yes, he's a tight wad. Just wondering. Thanks

Worker meetings are at 7:10am sat and sunday. We usually meet at the pavillion at BHF. 

Stuff to bring.
*Dress for weather. No red or yellow. WHITE is preferred. LONG PANTS are required. Comfortable shoes
*Snacks and beverages. There is water jugs usually at each corner, but sometimes not.
*A scanner is nice to have if you arent on the radio to listen to whats going on.
*GLOVES!! Mechanix's gloves are great and heat resistant.
*Hat
*suncreen and bug spray
*whistle isnt required, but is good to have so we can get other corners attention if one of the radios goes dead (happens)

Do you recommend any certain type of a scanner with certain abilities? There's kind of a huge variation of those available...   :whine:

I use the Bearcat handheld that sells for about $80. Got mine at Farm and Fleet. Works!

10-4 good buddy!!   :biggrin:


Sooo, there's no need to go super high tech $$$$ to get something that acquires side channels and all that stuff?

Nope, it's all pretty low tech. Some noise cancelling headphones are pretty desirable though. I bought a set on E-bay once for $10 or so, but they were junk. I now have a Koss headset that I got for $40 and I like them a lot. Whatever you buy, remember: no red colored stuff. Unless you plan on painting it after you buy it.

After a little research, my headphones are Koss qz5 and they are still $40. Whoops! I see my RED ditty bag in my picture ( at least it's behind the guardrail and out of sight ).
