Importance: High
Good morning all,
Thanks to all those who have volunteered for the ride on Sunday, it is very much appreciated and whilst a couple more would make it a bit easier on us we now have all bases covered (though Alan will be out in the field for 12 hours plus travelling time).
Onto the next part of the exercise and we need a hand to get the TWO trailers from Wayne's QTH in Wanniassa across to Red Hill and load the gear we need for both the repeaters and the HQ and then get them out to the ride location and "Pig Hill".
I do not have a vehicle with a tow bar at present (though I am hoping to get my son Adam VK1FADD to come along and help) so we need TWO people with appropriate vehicles for this one. 4WD will be required for the repeater access, but 2WD is okay for the ride base trailer.
We need to set-up the repeaters (147.125 MHz & the 80 MHz portables) on Pig Hill early Saturday afternoon (ie, set-up by around 2:30 PM) and then move on to set the HQ marquee & radio gear.
Even if you cannot assist with the ride on Sunday, maybe you could assist in the set-up activity on the Saturday.
I am not sure about when we would tear down the gear as it is expected the last riders will not be back until 8:00 PM, though it may be possible to pull down the repeaters earlier and continue our comm's on Bulls Had and/or Isaacs Ridge repeaters, otherwise it may be a trip back out on Monday !
If you can help on Saturday, please let me know ASAP.
Cheers,
.... Phil VK1PL.
