Mid Wales Raynet is made up of three groups who although operate separately, frequently pool their resources to cover larger events needing more operators than one group can supply.All three Raynet groups are extremely busy and event organisers who require their services should book well in advance by contacting the controller in the event area.Some Raynet members are also involved in other radio groups connected with motor rallying.

  • South Gwynedd Raynet
  • North Dyfed Raynet
  • Powys Raynet
    Mid Wales has some of the remotest mountain terrain in the UK and many challenging walking,running and horse endurance events are held each year.Raynet supports these events by providing safety communications to locations and checkpoints where there is frequently no mobile phone coverage and enables the organisers to ensure the safety of the competitors.
