Other Links

As well as all the methods of radio communications I've already mentioned, at larger events there are many Internet based links used between locations, plus other radio users such as the media, car park attendants, St. John Ambulance (which also has a UK General licence, but uses the frequencies around 170MHz so it isn't likely to clash with the event comms), and caterers. This list goes on.

So, next time you look at a rally car there's no needs to wonder what all those antennas are for and know you'll have some idea of who's talking to who when you see someone in a fluorescent jacket speaking into a radio as the cars hurtle by.

Happy listening !
