Dear John,

I'm running a national top-band DF event on 28 June and I need an
operator for the second station. I wonder if you or someone you know
might be interested.

What's involved is spending Sunday afternoon hidden in a wood with an
automatic transmitter. All you have to do is speak when it tells you
and register the competitors when they arrive using a special clock.
It can be great fun when you hear them approaching and then going
away. We aim to make the antennas confusing.

Best wishes,

Bill.
