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,
.... Phil Longworth VK1PL
