First time back on RAYNET duties since my licence was reinstated, and it was a pretty easy ride. I was on checkpoint with two long-standing friends, who brought their motorhome for extra comfort. We got there for a 9:30 kick-off, and got our runners' numbers posted by lunchtime - which resulted in us being able to stand down half an hour early! We pretty much took it in turns to do the talking, and I called in with the leading female runner's number.
I also drove around to see Dick Jeffries (Group Controller) on a checkpoint near ours, and dropped in on the main control station at which I met some of the other current RAYNET members, some new, some familiar. The control station has been upgraded since I was last about, and rather than a caravan, it's now a purpose-built box-trailer which looks really well fitted out inside with whiteboards and information charts the like.
I'm certainly looking forward to getting involved again, and hopefully (as I'm old enough now!) some training as well :-)
