If you've ever wondered who runs the communications on the cycling tours. I know its a little bit niche but even so if you even had just the slightest interest then I may have found the answer to the Tour of Britain at least.
Today I took my son to watch the first stage finish in Dumfries and naturally was in the car with the APRS handheld operational and as I was leaving the town a message popped up so I pulled over to read it. Not really expecting anything but I was surprised to find out that it was SQ4CCR /SQ4INC who run the comms for either a team or the whole of the tour. I didn't manage to find out from Martin as I went over a hill and lost him. Needless to say they are on APRS.fi and the last time I looked were on their way to Kendal for the next start.
Seems that APRS is on the up and I'm glad to hear it.
Tomorrow the final stage in Lodynie. Along with Peter SQ4INC will prevent the radio

It's been great following you. Let me know if you do any other tours and I will try and get in contact. Hope you enjoyed the race.
