We’re nearly there…
David G0ICJ prepares the Bring And Buy stall for tomorrow
Yes friends, the Wythall Radio Rally 2013 is almost upon us!
Members have been busy this afternoon preparing the halls at Woodrush School, Wythall, for the annual event that is the highlight of our year!
Called “Hamfests” by our cousins across the pond, radio rallies are an important part of UK club activities. The modest fee (£2.50 in our case) that you pay on our door goes towards keeping our club going, and without the club there would of course be no rally next year, so to some extent it is self-perpetuating; come to our radio fair and there will be another one next year for you!
It takes 3 people (Steven 2E0SDD, Callum M0MCX and Dave G3YXM) to erect the antenna for the talk-in station!
As we half-expected, parking may be a small issue this year.
The school fields where we normally park are waterlogged after the massive amounts of rain and snow we have experienced this winter, so visitors will need to find on-street parking in the vicinity and walk a short distance to us.
We would ask that, since the school is in a primarily residential area, visitors remain aware of this and park with consideration for our local residents. Use talk-in on 145.550 MHz and watch out for our helpers as you approach for further assistance.
We can’t wait to see you tomorrow! We hope you have a great day!
