non-participants, on these channels.
Can I also suggest on Saturday you monitor the MRC
call channels throughout the whole day, and put out calls regularly
between the official times.
As the MRC is primarily a CB radio event, no
Amateur frequencies have been allocated. If you are unable to relay
the message via CB Radio please use Amateur frequencies if licenced to do
so.
Procedures
·
There will be two
messages. Message 1 will be
relayed from the lowest to the highest station number and Message 2 will
be relayed from the highest to the lowest.
·
Message 1
will be sent to you by the station number below you. Please relay Message 1 to the
station number above you. The
reverse is true for Message 2.
·
Where relaying is
not possible with your ‘neighbour’ please receive and send Messages 1
& 2 with any MRC stations that you can contact by line-of-sight, or as
a last resort by skip or out-of-band.
·
Please arrange to
go to another channel for the actual relay of the message. Do not use the MRC call
channels.
·
Feel free to
recruit new line-of-sight stations to the MRC and include them in relaying
of the message. Each station
you recruit should be given your callsign followed by the letter A, B, C,
etc. as needed. As a last
resort consider skip stations.
·
Please advise
other MRC stations (where possible) of any additional recruit, and ask
them to relay the new station’s callsign and location to all other
members.
·
You may wish to
relay to other MRC stations additional information, such as your setup
details, what UHF repeaters you can access, and what other MRC stations
you have been able to contact.
·
Please complete
the Mountain Report Form on the day, at your location.
