4x4 response
M6GKX:
I can see your point Saffy but I doubt my bosses would release me. If I have the time and money available for resources I'd volunteer my time but there are a lot of times when this just isn't possible.
I'm not into the HF side yet and I'm still into photography, greenlaning and computers so everything will get a chunk out of my life :D
And it mostly keeps me out of mischief :D :D :D

Amateurs can be a funny bunch of social rejects at the best of times, RAYNET appears to be where you can sometimes bag yourself a prime example of a walt :)
I bet some people are members of RAYNET, 4x4response and X-AREA RESCUE ASSOCIATION (like SARA - Severn Area Rescue) and I wonder what they do when all 3 call at once for their services.
Tongue in cheek bashing aside... SARA used to get bleepers and good employers where expected to release staff when a shout went out, I'm wondering if 4x4 response members have arranged for such dispensation with their company bosses?

Some regions (Wessex is one) provide a formal letter than can be used to request that you be released if needed. In my own situation I have a certain amount of flexibility about when I work so I can juggle actual paid work and 4x4 response as needed. Given that my boss is 3,500 miles away, I can pretty much come and ago - and work from home - as I please anyway.
Being both a member of RAYNET and 4x4 Response could lead to conflicts - I think two's the limit.
