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.

Report from Sandringham Charity Horse Ride 3rd Oct 2021

Thank you to all the team that were able to help provide safety communications cover at this multi-distance event.  There were 220 riders taking part and only a limited number of issues to deal with.  This was mostly related to a change in course layout made following heavy rain. However by 10:00 we were all where we needed to be to monitor the activity.

We ran an amateur net on 144.650MHz and a PMR net for several non Raynet volunteers.
