The LRS operated special event station GM100RSGB as part of the RSGB's Centenary celebrations on Mon 18th to Wed 20th Nov. from a nice quiet site near Armadale, West Lothian, with a QRO station and a 3-element beam at 20 metres high. Conditions were particularly good on 10m and we spent all of Monday and most of Wednesday on that band, working mostly DX but with some G-stations. On Tuesday we worked mostly 40m. On Wednesday we were back on 10m and 20m. A total of 563 QSOs were made. DX included VK, VP8 (Falklands), W6 & T6 (Afghanistan). The antenna was dismantled on Sunday 24th Nov. Click for Full Report.
