Check with Linda, but you have to use the SHU calibrated Benzing Units. The pinpointing should be done at Federation level, but perhaps allowances are made because your area is so spread out.

REDCHEQHEN Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 The NEHU doesn't share your trust - someone comes out from the NEHU to do your GPS measurementsThey don't send the equipment out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibendium Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Should only be done by Federation officials and only using calebrated SHU equipment any thing other could result in suspicion or worse still disqualification of a big winner .

Ryan Hay Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Yes the fed is going to do it we were trying to locate the nearest GPS so we can pick it up. Be handy if there was one up our way but unfortunately not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Hay Posted January 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Is there any of the north fed members passing Forfar any time soon that could pick up the GPS ? I've been contacted by Buckie club and fraserburgh west end club who also need to borrow it so be fine to get then all done at same time.

I was told by yourself as you was the secretary then, that it had to be done by gibby? if you remember the fed was getting the scanner up from Edinburgh as a couple of new fed members needed scanning , that's why you had to wait ,gibby got it then went round scanning new members lofts , I asked gibby originally and he said he was getting scanner and would be doing themas he was responcable for it originally when the lofts were changed to GPS the secretarys were given the scanners to use , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKay collected the scanner when i joined, if that makes him responsible for it surely gibby wouldn't of done mine, it would of been McKay.
