The transmitters will be separated by at least 300m and the nearest transmitter to the Start may be closer than 400m (IARU rules state 750m).
Sport Ident (SI) electronic punching will be used for both competitions. SI 'dibbers' may be hired for £1, but if not returned the charge is increased by £30.

Procedures
Registration, Start and Finish for the 144MHz competition event will be in the car park.
In accordance with the informality of the event the organisers will not require you to deposit your receiver in a pound before the transmitters start sending. They do expect you to respect the spirit of this concession by refraining from using your receiver until reporting to officials in the start area and then only under their supervision.
The 'flags'for the competition will be 15cm side length.
Safety
Competitors are responsible for their own safety and take part at their own risk. No smoking in the forest. Whistles should be carried (the emergency signal is 6 blasts repeated at 1 minute intervals).
Both courses cross and re-cross a minor road. Take care at these road crossings.
Loan Equipment
Receivers for 144MHz are available on loan. E-Mail the organiser (address below) to reserve.
