woohoo! good stuff :)

Bloody brilliant idea. While were on a roll how about a NSW Short Course Series comprising Colo, Crookwell, Nabiac and Dondingalong?   Could be a great way to breath life back into the Tri-Series and you could still have the Tri-Series as a Competition between clubs.

Scotts Hydraulic Services of Kempsey have picked up the sponsorship for the 2008 NSW Premier Long Series. (Thanks to Glen and Gordon)
This means there will be a total of $3,000 for awards for the 2008 series.
Milbrodale and Warialda also have sponsors locked in.
This should be a very exciting and competitive series.
More series details after the NSW Championship dinner this weekend in Newcastle.

Aaron,
The rules for long course indicate that you must carry a UHF radio of at least 5 watts.
It does not have to be an installed radio.
My UHF is an expensive Uniden ($450 5 watt) which under normal conditions will operate over 10 km, but I cannot cover all of Wittitrin, so anything under 5 watt would be useless.
I also have the latest mobile phone which does not work at Wittitrin!!
Cheers
Maurie

dirtdrifter,

We are looking for 2 5watt radios as we now have 2 cars and need them for Wittitrin.
How many do you have and how much?

Cheers

If you were using a cb in the car and one of your 5watt handhelds as the base what sort of distance would you get? Worth buying or would I be better off going bigger?

I got them off a mate of mine who's hobby is playing with radio's.They are not a brand name unit, but he has used them out in the bush alot and says for the money they are great value with good coverage range. i am yet to use mine as i never do any racing anymore but some day i plan to. I just got them because you have to have one. I plan to never use it at a race as breaking down and crashing is not part of my game plan. But i guess you never know...
