The 2008 Rally is on again and Marlborough Branch 22 has been asked to provide the necessary communications support. This year the rally starts in Christchurch on the 16 October goes via Queenstown, Dunedin, Invercargill, Dunedin, Timaru, Christchurch to finish in Blenheim on the 23 October. Mobile operators will be required to have VHF & HF comms with 40 & 80 metre Dipoles required for HF as the comms base will be at Rally HQ in Blenheim. It is intended that reasonable costs will be reimbursed for accommodation and fuel during the rally only and each operator will be required to organise their own accommodation.
Details on the rally can be seen at http://www.silverfernrally.co.nz
There are in excess of 150 operator locations for the 5-7 special stages per day for the 7days of the rally. Interested operators are asked to register by emailing zl2ksATnzart.org.nz (replacing the AT with @) and to advise the dates available (to assist in early planning).
Regards,
Branch 22
