This is the page for the 2012 VHF National Field Day.
Our application, specifying bands, callsign and location, has to be in by Friday 29th June.
Location
A location suggested by Chris G3WIE is a lay-by on Lanes End Down (Google Streetview), Ted G3XUX uses this location to run a 4m net on Sunday mornings and says it works well, unfortunately the site is unsuitable for any guyed mast.
Ted has suggested that we could approach 'The Milburys' (website) a pub near to the first site with a small field out of the back that is advertised as available for Club meetings and would work well for putting up the mast. There would also be a good nearby source of food and drink!
We will be sharing a site with Basingstoke ARC and operating under their name, but with our callsign (G3KMI/P) on 2m and 70cm. The site ha been reccied and is 'ideal' - great views to north-west through south-east.
