The Event
Under the terms of the licence, all stations must be open to the public. Therefore consider security, not only for the girls, but also the radio equipment which is expensive and portable.
Please note most radio amateurs may not have been CRB checked. You will need to check with your County/Region and ensure that their policy is followed. Also you should ensure that there are sufficient CRB checked personnel available to prevent the possibility of one to one contact with non checked people.
Depending on the activities provided, 1 to 2 ½ hours is a good length of time for a session. Do make sure you provide adequate supervision as fiddling with the wrong knob can be dangerous and expensive!
Guiding wear should be worn, especially if your local press are due to attend, or if taking your own photos.
Some licensed radio amateurs have special equipment, which adds extra interest:
