Reigate ATS and Crawley ARC Win VHF NFD

3rd August 2017 By Mike Davies Leave a Comment

Antennas at Sunset

A fantastic effort by the combined team from our two local clubs has been rewarded by winning the Open Section of the RSGB premier annual VHF contest.  The team operated on five bands (6m, 4m, 2m, 70cm and 23cm) with the best four scores counting towards the overall result.  The final score is 3862 for RATS/CARC with Colchester in 2nd place on 3839, a very close run thing.

The team are planning on being QRV in the 2m Trophy contest on 2nd/3rd September with a location to be confirmed.  Why not come along and see what’s involved, get your hands dirty and work some DX.
