Our Mobile Control Unit

Our Mobile Control Unit

We now have a well equipped Mobile Control Unit which was funded for us by Dumfries and Galloway Council, the unit gets quite a lot of use and there is usually no shortage of volunteers to work control.

The unit gets used on most of our major events such as the Kirkcudbright and Stranraer half marathons, the Galloway Hills and Solway Coast Rally's and of course quite a few of the S.E.R.C. riding events....... read more


 

Dumfries and Galloway Raynet Today

Dumfries and Galloway Raynet is moving from strength to strength, over the past three or four years membership has doubled and we now have 25 members of which between ten and fifteen are available for group exercises.

We also have strong links with groups in neighboring areas who assist us when we have a large exercise on such as the Galloway Hills Rally. W e have members coming from as far as Yorkshire and Lancashire as well as Ayrshire, we are always looking for new members and although a amateur radio licence is an advantage it is not essential as we can assist with training and eventually gaining a licence.

The first round of the Scottish Cross Country Championship was held at Forrest Lodge near Dalry on Sunday 15th March, this is a new event for us but closely resembles rallying with 4X4 vehicles. The weather was pretty good, there were no major incidents so all in all a good day out.

Afterwards Mrs Lillian Dent the WRVS organiser asked Alex if the local amateurs could have provided some kind of radio link between the two and Alex decided then that Dumfries and Galloway Raynet should be established............. read more
