1st 50 MHz Contest G1KAR/P

April 11, 2021 N/A

First 50 MHz contest event for 2021

Runs from 0900-1200 UTC    (1000-1300 Local time)

G8DXU hopes to make the society's first "Official"contest entry using G1KAR/P for 2021 at BHRS.  This will be a solo effort to satisfy social distancing requirements.  Members are very welcome to pop along and see what is going on, but regrettably will not be allowed to enter the shack.

If all goes to plan we will be running 400W pep into the five element Yagi.

Please consider calling G1KAR/P on air during this event.
