GB9LIZ Laleham Park location

Fantastic weather today took some pictures of the park we will be operating the special event call sign from

Special event station GB9LIZ granted for May and June

To celebrate the Queens 90th Birthday OFCOM have very kindly allowed us to use the special event call sign GB9LIZ.

We will be operating as often as possible and as many modes as possible, but please look out for our call sign over the weekends on 20 / 40 and other HF bands.

During the week we will be on DMR and reaching out to local repeaters.

We are creating several SSTV images and are hoping to transmit these from the park area on 14.230 USB.

We are using qrz.com to log all of our contacts and will be sending out a very special QSL card as pictured below.
