Bulletin  3

 

6 November 2008.

Search & Rescue facilitation

Some of you will be aware of the protracted effort spent last year trying to find a lost pilot.

Vodacom offer a facility to subscribers called “look4me” at a very low cost which I have found very successful in locating the carrier of a vodacom cell phone that is a party to the arrangement by simply sending a “find”message to the  subscribers cellphone .

Location has proven to be within a few hundred metres at times.

If you subscribe you can nominate the party entitled to locate you and pass on that information  to the contest director.
