All the GM3HAM/P participants in RSGB VHF NFD 2019 at our usual site near Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries & Galloway. The wx was great most of the time and everything worked. New block & tackle helped a lot raising 6m & 4m beams.
We achieved good provisional scores on 6m, 4m, 2m & 23cm although a little down on last year.
6m: 70 QSO, 26,131 pts, IW5EIJ JN52ps 1751km
4m: 91 QSOs, 29,734 pts, GU6EFB IN89rk 617km

The group at BBQ-2019 at "Bates Motel"
The LRS BBQ was again held at the QTH of Pete Bates GM4BYF & XYL Kay GM6KAY, on Wed 26th June.
(And the Wx forecast turned out to be correct - sunny)!
The usual lavish spread of food was provided and the event was FREE this year thanks to a surplus in our accounts with two successful Surplus Equipment Sales.
It was also host Pete's birthday for which XYL Kay had baked a cake.
