8 stages (4 stages run twice), apparently something like East West, Hyles Block, Pierces East & Tidbinbilla (order may be different), then service and repeat.

HQ - "The Realm" one of the lower rooms (I need to make sure we can access outside !)

Service Park - Open Area at "Little National Hotel"

Probably need 12 or 13 in the field and 3 or 4 at HQ.

I would be looking at using VHF & UHF portable repeaters on Mt McDonald for the WICEN comm's and probably only a single 'commercial' channel for this event.

 

We don't have an indication of the timings of the day as yet, but would expect some early starts for the early stages (6:00 AM type ?).

So at the moment, I am looking for volunteers for the event, if you can assist would you please let me know your availability and preferences so I can get a roster together.  This email is sent to people on the ACT WICEN MEMBERS group, another email will be sent to the VK1-News group at a later date.

I note that this is the JOTA weekend and hence a few of our regular's will be involved with that.

 

Cheers,
