About Wiltshire RAYNET
RAYNET Groups in Wiltshire came in to being in about 1980. Geographically the North Wilts Group deals with events north of Salisbury Plain and logically the South Wilts Group deals with the south of the county.
Since Swindon Borough Council became a Unitary Authority it technically falls outside the control of the Wiltshire County Council boundary; however, in practice it is still regarded as part of Wiltshire and therefore is served by the North Wilts Group.
Should a group of enthusiasts want to from a Group to cover the Swindon BC Area that would be actively supported and encouraged.
The membership of both Groups provide radio communications at a variety of community events in conjunction with our "User Services" where specialist communications skills are required. These events include marathons, walks, carnivals, bike rides etc.
