Special event station GB5GFW – Gressenhall village at war 2019
On August Bank holiday we attended the Gressenhall Workhouse and museum to help celebrate the village at war, we operated Morse demonstrations and try it yourself sending your name in Morse, stations “on air” were HF SSB, HF FT8 VHF 2m and we had a comprehensive satellite station receiving pictures transmitted from Space.
we have many visitors to our station with a lot of interest shown in just what we were doing and how we were doing it. During the weekend we did make contacts with some other Museums on air, also many ordinary contacts but because of poor propagation conditions Data FT8 was by far the most productive
