[UK-CONTEST] RGSB Station GB7HQ

[Dave Lawley]

GB7HQ will again be competing on behalf of RSGB in the Headquarters 
section of the IARU contest this weekend.

GB7HQ will operate from nine different locations around the UK which 
will all be connected on the Internet and sharing log details using 
G3WGV's Starlog software, so when you hear us on one band/mode, you can 
call and find out the working frequencies on the other bands.

Once again John G3LZQ is running the award programme, there are awards 
for working GB7HQ on a minimum of three, six, nine or all twelve 
band/mode slots.

The contest runs for 24 hours from 1200z on Saturday 11th July on the 
six contest bands 160-10m phone and CW. Exchange is RS(T) and ITU zone - 
the UK is in zone 27. HQ stations send the initials of the national 
society instead of zone number.

Please come on and work lots of stations in the contest, and make sure 
to work GB7HQ on all twelve band/mode slots if you can. Also, make sure 
to send your log entry to  IARUHF at iaru.org  - the more logs they get, 
the better the quality of log checking.

More details of GB7HQ can be found at  www.gb7hq.com  and webmaster 
G3TXF will be updating the site with pictures of the operation as they 
come in.

I hope to work many of you in the contest - my station will mainly be 
used for 15m SSB.
