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.
Members are encouraged to get involved with this once-in-a-lifetime event. It is planned to occupy our Beachy Head site 24 hours a day during these events. There will be a display of vintage equipment, military style camp plus BBQ on Thursday..

6 metre Trophy Contest from 1400-1400 with the full event being Saturday to Sunday.
I propose that we enter the 6hr Open event as in previous years. Please contact G8DXU if you would like to participate. We now have the ability to run full legal power which may assist with our efforts.
Exercise Blue Ham 19-2 also runs over the weekend. We can split operations between the above contest and Blue Ham.
Rescheduled Exercise Blue Ham held in conjunction with the Air Cadet forces. (Originally scheduled for the 8-9th June)
Operations will be on the 60m 5MHz band using USB. This is an ideal opportunity for those with a Full Licence to try this excellent band and test out their HF Military radios or IC-7300s etc.
It is proposed to operate a station from BHRS. Members with Foundation and Intermediate licences are welcome to operate under supervision as required.
We can interleave operation on 60m with our entry in the 50MHz Trophy contest.
Can members interested in this event please let me know so that I can gauge the level of activity expected and allocate operators accordingly.
