Island activities:
EU-010. Members of Camb-Hams (G3PYE) are once again active from the Isle of Harris, this time as GS3PYE/P (and some possible operations as GM3PYE/P), between May 1-14th.
The group states, "We have decided on operating 2 voice stations on HF from the start, one HF data mode station, 6m and 4m SSB/data (JT6m) and 2m, 70cm and 23cm satellites. We will have limited tropo capability on 2m, 70cm and 23cm but will try and work anyone interested.
"There will be some portable operations around the islands (possible interest to WAB chasers), but for the first time we have limited SOTA activity. A few operators are planning to operate from the Monach Islands EU-111 for a few nights, this is weather permitting but only has 33% claimed by IOTA participants."
Operators mentioned are: Bob/G1SAA, Geoff/G0DDX,
Rob/M0VFC, Voi/G0BOE, Gavin/M1BXF, Adam/G1UAF, Mark/M0MJH, Terry/G3VFC, Fred/M0RFD, Colin/G4ERO, Lawrence/M0LCM and Martin/G3ZAY. Listen for QSL info.
