Everything was done by me alone. In recent years, I have invested a significant amount of money and effort in the development of wireless radio in Tangshan. The relay station is managed by a small team, but all the equipment is mine, and I never share the costs. Because if you are crowdfunding from everyone, when you stop or want to update/repair the equipment, someone will be dissatisfied and say that the equipment cost me 200 yuan back then...
Regarding this event, I had a sudden idea. There are some local university students who are interested, including my classmate, and previously, I had provided technical suggestions to Hongke, which he accepted, and as a thank you, he gave me a radio. Following the principle of "coming from the people and returning to the people," I decided to give this radio away as the first prize.
Then, the long planning process began...
I independently handled everything, including defining the event content, creating banners and posters, purchasing supplies like pens and paper, printing materials, and providing file folders, etc. Later, BH3FUT contacted me and provided funding of 500 yuan, which solved the problem of obtaining necessary supplies for the event.
Of course, because there is no local association, I currently don't have the energy or ability to establish one. These things are very difficult to manage. If you want to hold events here, you need to coordinate many things, and all of this needs to be completed before the New Year. Then, from January 1st to the 3rd, I will go to the site to observe and analyze experimental signals, and plan the area.
On the fourth and fifth days, I prepared everything in advance: the process, questions, documents, and items needed on-site. I also repeatedly visualized the entire process in my mind, considering what was missing and how many staff members were required. On the fifth day, I posted a notice recruiting staff and judges within the local group. This was because we had already been communicating about this, so everyone responded quickly.
In the evening of the fifth day, a meeting was organized for the participating contestants to provide training and briefings.
On the sixth day, I independently completed all task assignments and designated the on-site overall coordinator and deputy coordinator, both of whom were administrators from our relay station. We frequently cooperated, so we worked very smoothly together. In the afternoon of the sixth day, I re-entered the site with available personnel for further investigation.
In the evening of the sixth day, all items were loaded onto the truck according to the plan, and we repeatedly checked and verified everything.
Arrived at the competition venue at 7:00 AM and set up the field according to our assigned tasks.
In reality, the activities involving 18 athletes and the activities involving 180 and 1800 people are essentially the same. The thought process is also identical; the only difference is the number of staff involved.
Two unexpected situations also occurred: after the online training on the fifth day, one participant withdrew due to an unforeseen circumstance. Because the competition requires even-numbered teams, with a group of 16 or 18 people being ideal, they immediately found a replacement player. Interestingly, another person withdrew in the evening of the sixth day, which caught everyone by surprise. However, because they had anticipated this possibility beforehand, they were able to resolve it smoothly.
Throughout this holiday, I dedicated myself to this competition; throughout my youth, I have devoted myself to the development of radio in Tangshan; and throughout my life, I have cultivated a lifelong passion for this hobby.
