EU-124. Members of the Strumble Head DX and Contest Group (SHDXCG)
will once again be activating Ramsey Island between July 12-16th. Activity will be on all bands from 40-6 meters using 2 Hexbeams and a Windom. This year they are hoping to have a station dedicated to the Digital modes, mostly RTTY, using a TS480 at 200w and one of the Hexbeams. They have also analyzed their logs and seen that there is a shortage of contacts with North and South America, and also the countries around the Caribbean. They have looked at the terrain and the location of the antennas with a view to getting one Hexbeam a little
higher to clear a small ridge that blocks the westernly direction allowing these contacts to be made.
As usual, QSL via the manager Tim, M0URX, (see www.m0urx.com) using his OQRS system for a speedy turn around. Logs will be uploaded
to LoTW and Clublog as soon as they get back to the mainland.
All details and (hopefully) a daily blog will be available on their Web site at: http://www.mc0shl.com
The team has also advised that they will operate from their farm HQ if they are unable to make the crossing to the island due to bad weather but will announce on air if this is the case.
