DF RULES from 2010 onwards
There will be four mobile DFs, two on 2m and two on 160m. The walking DF is an extra
for this year only. It was put on to enable plans for the mobile DFs to be put
together to avoid potential legal problems for both the participants and the club.
Walking DFs:
The winner will be the first to locate the hidden station. The start point
will be announced in the Newsletter and on the club websites. Starting time
will be 2000 local time.
Mobile DFs:
These will start from the layby near Rempstone which we have used for a few
seasons. Start time is 2000 local time and finish time will be 2130 local
time. There will be 10 predetermined sites where entrants must use a minimum
of three sites to take bearings. These bearings must be marked on a map.
These sites will be within the 6 mile radius but the hidden station may be
outside this area. DO NOT go physically to the site of the hidden
station. From your bearings you make a decision where the hidden station is
and mark this point on your map. A hostelry will be nominated where
participants will meet up to determine whose entry is nearest.
The locations of the sites from where bearings may be taken are as follows:
