Excellent weather, operating from great site just 3 meters below the highest point of the Hog's Back near Guildford in Surrey made this a very enjoyable event.

The equipment performed flawlessly after G4OQZ ably repaired a faulty feeder.  It's not an easy task using a gas soldering iron at the top of a hill in the wind!

We operated as G4FRS/P on 6 meters running 100w to a 6 element beam.  On  2 meters our call sign was G6FRS/P running 100W to a 9 element beam.

Our object was to have fun and we certainly did that but we also obtained some very respectable results especially considering we only operated for 5 hours.

Many thanks to Nev G4SPD for organizing the event and to all who helped.
