Report from Wissey Half Marathon 4th Sept 2022

Thank you to the group members that assisted with the communications at this yearly event.

Runner numbers were down slightly from previous years and thankfully St John Ambulance had few casualties to deal with.

We ran control from a local highspot and this provided good coverage on 2m with a separate PMR link to St John.

Report from Sandringham Charity Horse Ride 8th May 2022

Thank you to all the members that attended this event. Around 240 riders took part on one of the warmest days of the year so far.  Luckily there were limited issues for riders and our role was very much around logistics and especially tracking the final riders of the day.

We ran the usual 2m net which provided good coverage and in addition some of the members trialled a Fusion net on 70cm. This allowed some testing around location sending/receiving and has given further thought for further uses of this mode.
