CPSARC will once again operate from the Isle of Tiree (IOTA EU-008, IOSA NH04, WAB NM04), the most westerly of Scotland's Inner Hebridean Islands, during the RSGB IOTA (Islands on the Air) Contest which runs from 12:00 UTC 24th July until 12:00UTC 25th July 2010, using the clubs' special contest call sign GM2T.

Pre contest activity will be as MM0CPS/P

GM2T heavily supports newcomers to our wonderful hobby and has a large number of newly licensed members who are actively encouraged to participate in our contest effort, whether experienced or not. This way, not only does our hobby benefit from new operators, but contesting benefits as they invariably become bitten by the contest bug.

This years team consists of :- Cambell MM0DXC, Bob GM4UYZ, John MM0JXI, Brian M0RNR, Gary MM0FZV, Geoff MM5AHO, Ellis GM4GZW, Jim G3VOU, Brian G3UJE, Malcolm MM0YMG, Robin MM0VTV, Keith MM0KTC and Duncan MM0GZZ

QSL route to GM2T via the Bureau, or our QSL Manager
GM4UYZ, Bureau or direct, details at www.qrz.com/gm2t

Once again, we're indebted to the people of Tiree and especially our friend Elaine Hutchinson at www.elephantsend.com for the wonderful support and hospitality she has shown us during more than a decade of contesting from Tiree.

GM2T was placed 6th in the world in the Island DXpedition section in 2009.

Hi All,
It is with great sadness that I pass on the following information about the sudden passing of Bill Turner MM0BXT. See the original email from his daughter below....
Bill was a very quiet man and kept himself to himself and as he says that is how I am. Having said that Bill worked away in the background and one task that he completed was putting all our newsletters from their inception to present day into PDF format, a mammoth task to say the least.
At times like this what do you say as I always find it hard to put my feelings into words.
I have sent a card to Bill’s wife and family offering them our deepest sympathies at this time
