Members have proposed a camp at BHRS and an entry in the Low Power contest events. This will have to be on a single operator basis due to current restrictions.
For those interested in HF operating we may also field an entry in the European HF contest to run in parallel with the VHF event.
We are planning a BBQ for those involved in the camp and contest. This may be limited to six people.
This event is now almost fully subscribed with room for just one more member!
