Rally organisers seeking publicity in RadCom should
write to RSGB HQ direct giving detailed information including contact
callsign and telephone numbers. Submissions should be marked "Rally
News". Details may be sent by EMail to: radcom@rsgb.org
For publicity in Radio User magazine, Email donna@pwpublishing.ltd.uk
Rally organisers are also asked to send their rally
information to me, Jim, jim (at) g4rga.org.uk or to G4RGA@GB7FCR.#16.GBR.EU
in order to have the rally publicised on the Internet and on the
packet network.
It would also help rallygoers who can afford GPS
equipment and other such toys if the postcode or grid reference
for the venue could be included in the published information.
