RMR 2021 - Vehicle Preparation Guide

26 Aug 2021 9:23 PM | Garry Spicer (Administrator)

Hello Rally Radio Operators;

Dana and I received input suggesting that some operators would appreciate additional guidance on preparing their vehicles for a rally event. For those who may be looking for something like that, here is a set of helpful checklists.

The contents of this document are condensed from various sources. It includes material provided by two of our most experienced and mechanically adept field radio operators (Harry, VE6HRY; Dave, VE6DED).

This guide covers a wide range of topics that affect the reliability of a vehicle and its usefulness to a radio operator at a rally. These checklists are not requirements for participation as a volunteer. Rather, these are items that each operator should think about and make appropriate choices. You know your own vehicle, your own driving style, and your own needs best. Use these checklists to help you.

I hope that we'll see you at the upcoming Rocky Mountain Rally!


73,
Garry, VE6GDS
