VHF NFD 2012
From SUWS-wiki
On the 7th/8th July 2012 we operated 2m SSB from A hill near Basingstoke in assistance of Basingstoke ARC.
The Plan was originally to operate 2m and 70cm for the full weekend, with Basingstoke ARC operating 6m and 4m for the contest periods during the day.

Lessons Learnt =
- Log '/P' on call signs when given.
- Practice with the voice-recorder and rig before the contest, apparantly it was very quiet.
- Bring Ketchup, Mayonnaise
For Muddy Conditions
- forget the ground sheet, and use straw-bales instead. This saves constant in/out and shoes on/off.
