[suws-members] VHF National Field Day 2016 - 2nd/3rd July 2016

[Phil Crump]

Hi All,

Once again we'll be representing the University in the annual VHF 
National Field Day competition, this is a 24h operation contest, 
required to be operated from portable equipment, making as many contacts 
as possible, with several hundred other stations across Europe.

We previously worked with Basingstoke ARC however they aren't able to 
help us this year, so we'll more running a more independent entry with 
the help of Noel G8GTZ. Likely on 2m and 70cm. The competition runs from 
1400 UTC on Saturday, to 1400 UTC on Sunday, so we'll be onsite early 
Saturday morning to set up, and back late Sunday afternoon. Most of us 
will be camping overnight.
