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.
