A last minute desperate call for assistance with this weekends WICEN exercise for the National Capital Rally
by PHILLIP LONGWORTH 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

Good morning everyone, Whilst we have been progressing well for the Rally this weekend, we are still short of 2 more persons for HQ on Saturday and 1 for Sunday PLUS it appears we have had a withdrawal of a person which means we need a replacement for an afternoon stage on Saturday and an early stage on Sunday (7:45 meet time at Cotter, so not that early) . We have a large field of around 55 competitors (well large in comparison with the previous 10 years anyway) and this will be the only Australian Rally event to feature the top class drivers and teams this year, so if you can come out and assist it would be greatly appreciated. This is also the clubs major fundraising activity, and due to Covid-19 is one of very few such activities at all this year. I'll be busy setting up HQ today, but will check emails at random times so please, if you can help hit the REPLY button and let me know and I'll add you to the roster. Cheers, Phil Longworth VK1PL Deputy State Coordinator, WICEN ACT Treasurer and Life Member, Canberra Region Amateur Radio Club
