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. You DO NOT have to 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 winner of the series would be awarded the annual trophy and retain it for the following 12 months.
