Tall Pines Communication?
11/10/10 at 11:43:43
 
I'm wondering what radios the marshals or time keepers use to radio in the stage times? I was thinking it would be very interesting to bring a transmiter? or a scanner? to listen in.

If someone knows it would be helpful.

Thank you.

We use Ham Radio so you would have to have a license to posses a transmitter.
Scanner is fine.
I'll leave it up to Ross if he wants to post the frequencies. Not my place.

Actually, not quite.
You can be in possession of a transmitter/reciever for which you are not licensed.
You must be licensed to transmit.


But you should totally get your ham radio lic some time Smiley
Then when you help with events, you're already set for communications Smiley Cheesy

It's bad enough having a stuck mic from a worker, but from a spectator . . . the horror . . . . the horror . . . .

Not the Pines or any rally I've been to, but some large events can get nuisance jammers on the frequency, so organisers for a multitude of reasons don't like to publish frequencies. It's pretty easy to figure out, however, when you're there.
