Helping with the Wythall Fun Run…
This year’s Wythall Fun Run took place yesterday (Sunday morning) around the village. Despite the name, it’s a pretty serious event with 1.5 km, 5 km and 10 km courses attracting some even more serious entrants!
Checkpoint Anita M6DUO! She tells us she enjoyed watching fit young men running past her… Well!
For the members of Wythall Radio Club though, it was an opportunity for fun of a different kind!
This year we were asked by the organisers to help provide communications for the event. So some of us took a break from our Field Day event to go and help make sure the Fun Run went without a hitch, which it did!
Wythall Club Member John M1JSS rallied the troops into action – all those some folks along the route with handie-talkie radios or perhaps sitting in their cars handling communications traffic for the event were all Club members, having fun with RF in yet another guise!
And it’s really quite satisfying to use our love of radio communications to put something back into the community!
