One of the most important roles in the operation of the El Tour happens
behind the scenes. In fact, it is so out of the way in the Armory Senior
Center, it shared a room with the folded up Tucson Table Tennis Club's
ping-pong tables. Communications director Cary Fishman sat at a small table
barely big enough to hold the ham radio, the maps and spreadsheets with all
his information on the ham radio operators at the aid stations, his thermos
of coffee. It's not easy to keep up: The 17 aid stations are broken into
four sectors. One or two ham radio operators sat at each station.
