Offshore Powerboat Association

The powerboat racing group is here in Cocoa Beach, Florida this weekend - unfortunately I cannot attend.

I did some rudimentary searching around ... both here and on the FCC website... nothing found.

here is the schedule. Could be some interesting listening. Curious if they use an "air boss" (aka water boss) type approach to race coordination, etc.

another monitor posted in a different forum that Marine 25 (157.250) was in use for race control.

EDIT: Absolutely confirmed. "Race Control" was the call being used for coordination. Must have been some excitement at the end of the race as one of the unlimited catamarans overturned.
