Test Day Radio Operators;

Below is a link to an overview map for the 2021 August Test Day on the 29th of this month. This map should hold no surprises for those who are familiar with the Kananaskis Jumping Pound Demonstration area. If you are new to the rally scene, this material is intended to help you navigate at the event. It is recommended that all operators have this map available on Test Day.

This is a .kml format file. It is not an image file. This file is intended to be loaded into a GPS device, APRS software, or GIS software such as Google Earth, Google Maps, Bing Maps, etc. If you want to make a printable image, then load this file into the software of your choice and print your maps from that point.

For those who load these maps into GPS devices, it is suggested that you disable direction instruction features while at the event. Reading and understanding the map yourself tends to work much better in these isolated areas. Radio operators have reported that GPS devices frequently provide distracting, erroneous, or even dangerous directions in remote rally venues.

This map does not contain the radio operator assignment locations. For such a small event, these are often finalized close to, or even on the day of, the affair. Should we receive these details ahead of time, we'll post them to this blog. Otherwise, check in with the event officials on Test Day (likely at the marked Service area) and they will help to get you to your assignment.
