The GM3HAM Contest Group of the Lothians Radio Society had great weather for VHF NFD 2013 which we operated again from our site in the hills above Gatehouse of Fleet in Dumfries & Galloway. There were ten operators working on the 6m, 4m, 2m and 70cm bands where we made significantly better scores than last year in excellent conditions, with a total score more than double. On the Saturday we were visited by Andre GM3VLB and XYL Veronica. Submitted scores:
