We will be operating special event callsign GB2SF (Sword Force), appropriate to the forces that departed from this part of the South East, landing on Sword Beach. Special QSL cards and certificates may be available for those contacting the station and meeting certain criteria..

Beachy Head had a special significance on D-Day due to the location of a Decca station. This new proprietary technology was used to fix positions for the deployment of equipment and troops on the beaches of Normandy. Chain Home Low DF transmitters were also located on Beachy Head during these times.

Radio activities on the 6th will start early in the morning on 3.615MHz using Amplitude Modulation from vintage equipment.  We will also be active on 51.70MHz FM and other HF frequencies during the period. Further details will be published on the Front page of this site in due time.
