Format of Event
A 5 Transmitter 80m course, with the provision for newcomers to plot a set of bearings on the five transmitters before crossing the start line.
The transmitters will operate in a 5 minute cycle. Transmitters will be at least 200m from the start and finish and at least 200m from each other. Proof of visiting each transmitter is with Control Cards and needle punches. There will be a 15cm 'kite' at each transmitter site.
If you are a newcomer and wish to participate in the provision for taking bearings prior to crossing the start line, please commence taking your bearings 15 minutes before you wish to cross the start line.
There will be a mentor on hand to help you to master the operation of the receiver and to check that you are 'good to go' with a decent set of bearings plotted on your map.
