Thank you to the members that were able to attend this event. We provided a good safety net for 220 horse riders on the hottest day of the year so far (just under 30C).  RF wise 144.650MHz was used into a low power cross-band 2 – 70 talk-through unit with no issues encountered. We also had a brief 80m test with excellent ground wave QRP signals between two stations.
