2008 News and Plans
Plans for a return to Jersey are in the works, hopefully with a more competitive station in this year's IOTA contest.  

AFS CW results are out.  Our A team (G3ZVW, G3YIQ, G3OLB and G3SWH) made fourth place in the first contest of the season.  One of our best ever AFS performances.  

The HF Club Championships are also a great source of fun for the group.  A much stronger data mode capability this year is helping, but there are plenty of other clubs who are also getting stronger in every department.

Jersey 2007 - GJ6YB

After three very successful years on Bere Island for the IOTA contest we decided to try something different for 2007.  We travelled to Jersey with one mobile tower a generator, a multi-op station and eight operators.  

Thanks to the Environmental Agency on Jersey we were able to operate from the German Rangefinding Tower near the racecourse.  We had a good time and did quite well in the contest in spite of some technical hitches which meant we had to operate without amplifiers.  We came 13th in the Expedition section.

A special QSL  card has been issued.  We will QSL to all cards received.

80m Club Champions 2007

Well what a season that was !  Some great performances from individuals throughout the year and a good turnout for all the events gave us a convincing lead by the end of the year.   So we take the G5RV Trophy for top station for the first time.

We decided to try something new this year.  Having won the Open Section a few times we decided to enter G6YB/P in the Restricted Section this year.  And to our great surprise, we won it !
