Last weekend, we setup a special event station at the Crich stand memorial.

Friday was very windy and the gazebo had to be lashed down with several ropes. Bryan M0OIC was active on HF and worked from his car for the Royal Signals ARS. He arranged his own QSL cards.

Denis M0DEN was our chief operator and made 38 contacts on 2 metres FM.

Every one enjoyed the day and we appreciated the help from club visitors who helped us pack up.
