We were supported by Tennamast who provided the tower for the main HF antenna, thanks Calum!<\/p>\n

We had a great weekend and contacted many Field Day contest stations, as well some DX into Canada, Israel and Brazil notably.<\/p>\n

The team want to thank everyone with whom we had a contact, the day was a great success…..one activity that\u00a0we got\u00a0from a club featured in Radcom was very well received…a lot of kids went away with a Certificate of Acheivement, awarded when they managed to send thier name in code.<\/p>\n
