See below the official announcement of the annual RallySport Ontario HAM radio
course. We are always looking for more HAM operators at our events.
For volunteers at events it makes it much more enjoyable and
satisfying to be in on all the logistics of running the event. Plus
there is a wider range of opportunities available at events for radio operators.

For new operators who haven’t yet purchased equipment RSO always has
loaner packages available.

Note – the Tall Pines committee has committed for a second year to subsidize accommodation expenses of course participants. To be considered for subsidy you must apply to Ross Wood at ross@tallpinesrally.com  We can also assist you with suggestions for suitable places to stay.
