The VHF National Field Day

This is the page for the 2013 VHF National Field Day.

We have put in a joint application with Basingstoke ARC, we will be using G3KMI/P on 2m and 70cm.

See Lessons Learnt from last year.


Location

We will be sharing a site used by the Basingstoke ARC, the site is ~160m ASL and has great views from north-west through to south-east. There is a remote station on the same hill that regularly gets 10GHz contacts with Germany.

Bands

We will be operating on 2m and 70cm as completely separate stations, both using the G3KMI/P callsign.
