Contact can be made with RAYNET in an emergency by telephoning The
Radio Amateurs' Emergency Network's 24-hour Emergency Contact
number:
0303 040 1080
Remember that this number should only be used if your local callout
procedures fail or are non-existent. |
Events such as charity walks, fun runs, marathons, and open-air
concerts can benefit from radio communications.
RAYNET communications can be useful for several reasons:
- The central Control can inform the other
volunteers about progress- last runner, returned, etc.
- The outstations can inform Control about
progress- checkpoint closed, walker retired, etc.
- People can be informed about exceptional
events- competitor overdue, etc.
- Administrative information can be passed,
such as lists of walkers who have not passed through a
checkpoint and may be lost
- Administrative information can be passed,
such as the first runners/walk/riders through a checkpoint

RAYNET can also help you reduce
your events carbon footprint by reducing the amount of fuel used
by support vehicles
RAYNET normally attaches one
or more radio operators to each point where the User wants
communications. The users (such as marshals) are not expected to
talk on the radio. (under the terms of the Amateur Radio License
do not allow it.) RAYNET also has the ability to communicate
over greater distance then PMR446 radios, CB and radio equipment
that can be hired. RAYNET can also send data to and from
checkpoints to finish
