The group’s AGM took place on Sunday 1st November. Amongst topics discussed included use of HF and 6m at events, updating of equipment and impacts of unification and assisting at other events.
The committee was re-elected as last year:
Chairperson/Group Controller: G1SCQ.
Vice Chair & Technical Officer: G4OKH.
Treasurer: M3MPD.
Secretary: M3JKO.
Thank you to all members that were available to help provide safety cover for this event. We had 280 riders taking part across the various distance course around the estate. Weather remained sunny and mild and riders went away happy.
We established a good cover net on 145.200MHz using 5w to a small mast mounted dual band collinear. Crossband talk-through allowed local remote control so the control position was flexible on the site as per the usual requirement.
Thank you to all the team that turned out to help at this one. We operated for British Red Cross who had no issues to deal with on the 10km walk. Walker numbers were sadly half of previous year so we only had around 340 taking part.
We used the usual cross-band 2m to 70 cm arrangements which allowed for a flexible control location on the site. 5W to a dualband W50 at around 6m provided good cover to the handhelds and mobiles around the event.
