National Field Day

The Club entered National Field Day on the 3/4th June and worked about 525 contacts, unfortunately a drop from last year. As usual we started operation on the 10m band, and worked down the bands as the day progressed, reaching Top Band in the late evening. We skipped 40m as it was very noisy. In the small hours of Sunday morning, 40m was worked extensively. Further contacts were made on Sunday mostly on 20m and 40m.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the event, in particular Peter M3OSP who operated relentlessly through the night. Thanks also to operators Norman G0VYR, Derek G3HEJ, Ivor G4BJQ, John G3AID and David G3PSV. Further thanks to all those who helped with logging, tent erection and take-down and those who supplied equipment. In particular to Colin G8BCO, Graham G3TJI and John G0LVR.
