2m Postcode Contest

20th May 2022 By Mike Davies Leave a Comment

CARC will again join forces with the Reigate ATS to enter the RSGB “Postcode” contest on 2m.  We will be operating our full 2m station with a few important upgrades from our contest site in Swingate near Dover.

This is always an enjoyable contest with plenty of activity from around the UK and of course across the channel into Europe.

We hope to have multiple antenna systems in the sky and to do so we will be working on Friday 20th at Swingate with the contest proper starting at 14:00Z (15:00BST) on Saturday 21st and running for 24 hours.

Members are welcome to come along for some or all of the contest.  Alternatively do listen out for G3M around 144.327MHz and give us a call.

Everyone is welcome, indeed everyone is essential.  We’ll be on site from 1500 local time on Friday July 6th with the contest starting at 1500L on Saturday afternoon.

RSGB May 2m (Postcode) Contest

19th May 2018 By Mike Davies Leave a Comment

Welcome back to the warm sunshine of summer (or so we hope).

This is a great contest, single band 2m with a UK focus.  All UK postcodes are used as multipliers so even if you don’t come along to the hill then get on the air as your contact will be eagerly needed by most stations.

We’ll be at Swingate for this contest with the BIG 2m system so do come along and help out or have a go on the microphone.

The May contest is also a very good time to get extra COUNTRY multipliers and points by Meteor Scatter (MGM) overnight.  If that is of interest then come keep me company.
