What?
An outing of the merry band of LHS amateur radio people, either licensed or otherwise.
This is an initial outing so we can familiarise ourselves with what's required to setup a /P radio station.
When?
Date TBA, but looking to be 2nd-4th August 2013 (Friday->Sunday).
Interesting events:
- 3rd August: 2m backpackers contest
- 4th August: 70cm lower power contest
Where?
Location also TBA. A campsite, hopefully not too far from London.
Suggestions welcome!
Dominic can offer a field in Dorset, near Rampisham.
