Hello friends, it’s time once again to sign up to get the best seat in the house. As in previous years, we have set up a short survey to collect and centralize information on our small army of volunteers required to run the event safely and successfully. This method allows us to place volunteers effectively and keep track of numbers and individual preferences. Please follow the link below to reach the survey.

Thanks in advance from the organizers! We hope to see you all there!

Local volunteers looking to boost their rally skillset are invited to check out the Orchard City Amateur Radio Club’s website for details on their upcoming course.
Radio operators are always in high demand at all rally events, and Big White is no exception. In addition to gaining a new skill and increasing event safety, you get to follow the event when it isn’t happening right in front of you, and get the best viewing points and photo opportunities.
Non-locals wishing to get their radio licenses can purchase the study materials or make use of online resources, and then challenge the exam through one of OCARC’s examiners or another club. American volunteers are encouraged to inquire through their local amateur radio club or the American Radio Relay League.
OCARC has been a supporter of Big White Winter Rally since it’s inception in 2009 and has made personnel and equipment – including multiple repeaters – available to us each year.

First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Without volunteers we could not have the sport that we love to compete in, volunteer at, and spectate! We cannot express enough how much we appreciate time that you contribute, the money you invest and the enthusiasm that you show, especially in the freezing cold! This year we had the best competitor and volunteer turnout that we have ever had at Big White Winter Rally, and next year we hope to keep going with this trend! The possibility of new roads is high on the to-do list and we hope to have an even bigger and better event! In order to make this happen we will need even more volunteers, support and hopefully more competitors to keep the show going!
Thanks again for everything you do, and please feel free to contact me if you have any suggestions for improvements (I read all the ones on the feedback forms — THANKS!) Anyhow, I hope to see you all soon, and wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!
