Whenever activities are conducted in remote areas, the establishment of our own communications network may be required. The following is guidance for activity leaders, to establish a communications network. A primary and secondary radio channel should be selected and tested, prior to commencement of the activity. In addition, a location that is well known and within reach of all participants, selected as the communication failure last option for rendezvous. Additional communication options, may be considered, including whistle, beacon as determined through the Risk Analysis Matrix. This process focusses on the selection of radio channels only.

Conventions for the selection of UHF CB Radio channels in Australia
Channel 05 - Emergency Primary
Channel 35 - Emergency Secondary
For both emergency channels, set Duplex ON, if no response set Duplex OFF. 
Channel 10 - 4WD & National Parks
Channel 18 - Camper Vans & Caravans in Convoy

We also are keen to recommend products to our members that suit applications in a variety of sports. 

 Keen to be a RAVSTASS Sports Journo? Go to www.ravstass.com/#Join and then contact the RAVSTASS Vice President. Every Student Journalist will be provided a reference on letterhead to assist with their future aspirations and all articles attributed to them will remain on RAVSTASS sites. 

Broad Process : Decide > Data > Delve > Develop > Dovetail > Design > Distribute
1. Decide - Determine what type of article you are seeking to write:
Straight-Lead/Feature/Profile/Season Preview/Season Review/Opinion Column/Product Review/Adventure Story.
2. Data - Our social media channels are listed at www.ravstass.com/#Join
3. Delve - Each of our RAVSTASS Divisions has segmented our social media channels for their division, as an album/list/topic/etc. Links are within each Division Collection at www.ravstass.com/#8Divisions. Links to related magazines are also found here. Within the individual sports can be found further links to peak bodies, suppliers, participating bodies etc.
4. Develop - 1st draft - Review the available content to generate ideas for your article.
5. Dovetail - 2nd draft - Bring further sources together (references, imagery, quotes etc) to support your message.
6. Design - 3rd draft - Format your article for delivery and impact (audio/visual/mixed media). Contact the Secretary if templates/branding is required.
7. Distribute - Forward to the Vice President for review and release.
Note that value is incrementally added at each stage of the process.

Adventure Story Process : Calling > Crossing > Trials > Abyss > Discovery > Improvement > Achievement > Coaching 
1. Calling - Reveal what tempted the subject into imagining the adventure. Think lingering thought!  
2. Crossing - What pushed the subject into starting, the tipping point! Losing their job/relationship or an injury in another sport. Think final straw!
3. Trials - Relate the difficulties encountered in starting and progressing. Predictions of failure, battling self/others, injuries/opinions. Think grind!
4. Abyss - Identify with the loneliness of the chasm which emerges between subject and their former career/friends/home/comforts/interactions that is left behind in the pursuit of the new adventure.
5. Discovery - Exhibit what is newly discovered by the subject, that was only possible because of this adventure. Think spectacular!
6. Improvement - Connect discoveries with the improvement in the subject and their enhanced understanding.
7. Achievement - Celebrate the achievement as it all dovetails together and thereby making the journey worthwhile.
8. Coaching - Develop the character of the individual, show what they have now grown to become, in self-esteem, reputation and contribution and hint at the opportunities that lie ahead.
Note that over the process, the protagonist is raised in their ability and in turn, their ability to lead others.

* Maintain an archive of all correspondence cataloguing the case. 

* Review draft statements to the Tribunal. 

* Seek to attend the Tribunal.

* Read and understand relevant By-Laws, including the Tribunal process and applicable min/max penalties. 

* Understand that the pyramid structure of sports leagues under peak bodies, may mean that any penalty imposed by the existing league, may be applicable in other leagues.

The hard copy written statement should be in a presentable format that can be handed over to the Tribunal panel and be included in the evidence pack. The statement should detail the timeline of events as best recalled, acknowledge the seriousness of being reported, relate circumstances and point of view, and include any admissions willing to make. Lastly, suggest your desired outcome.
