However, the FCC responded to questions from Amateurs participating in the Boston Marathon a few years ago that provides guidance. Amateurs may be used to enhance safety, but not for the normal business communications of any organization. For example, a TV station cannot use Amateur Radio operators to collect information on runners positions in a race. However, the FCC has ruled that Amateurs can report runner's positions to race officials as that knowledge contributes to the safe execution of the event. It is recommended that Amateurs participating display some manner of visual identification.
Some organizations provide orange vests or unique T-shirts to participants.
A standardized method of identification is a subject for future discussion. Termination Keep track of all Amateurs participating, and notify them when they are no longer needed. Confirm that each Amateur copied. Don't leave anyone stranded. A good way to get volunteers for your next event is to publicly give them recognition.
