Without the assistance provided by all participants I don't believe that it could have been the success that I believe it was. I hesitate to single out individuals, but I think in particular that the efforts of Phil VK1PL and John VK1ET need to be recognised - as usual many hours of organisational and preparatory effort went on behind the scenes to get things ready before the event and without them, this event probably would not have occurred. Phil in particular went above and beyond with many rally meetings attended over the 6 months or so leading up to the event - and despite having suffered a heart attack only 5 weeks prior to the rally he continued to work hard at it - now that is comittment!

Can I get some feedback from participants on any areas that need to be looked at or could be improved for future events - unless we learn from our shortfalls we will continue to propagate our errors in future events, so I am keen to hear of any suggestions or improvements that could be made. Some feedback has already been received (including the need for some training on radio procedures), but I would very much appreciate it if you could advise of any issues you feel need to be raised - both positive and negative, don't be afraid to let us know if particular areas were poorly executed or you thought worked well.
