Following the latest issue of the Stage Rally Safety Requirements the MSA has updated the Operational Guide for Radios and at the same time Chrys Worboys has updated the Radio Marshals Handbook. 

These can be found on the SMMC downloads page, or via the above links. 

The content will be covered as part of a Radio Training day being planned for early 2019 for which further details will follow in the near future. 

As included in the Operational Guide, each Radio Operator must be provided with a copy of the Radio Licence.  Please review the details against your call-sign and let me know by return if any updates are required.  You should have a copy of the licence with you when you are out on events.

Should you have any questions please let me know.
