Bristol Contest Group News

Bristol CG entered RSGB CW NFD as G6YB/P on 6/7th June. We were entering the Open section and experimenting with two radio single signal operation. �It was an interesting learning exercise and we had a great weekend in the sun.

Bristol CG won the 2014/15 season of the Affiliated Societies Super-League. This was a great result after having been narrowly pipped at the post by Camb-Hams the previous year. �In the process we took first place in 4 of the 6 contests that make up the Super-League.�Detailed result and contest write-up is here on the RSGB CC site.

National Field Day 2015

Members of the RSGB Bristol Contest Group entered RSGB CW NFD as G6YB/P on 6/7th June.

We were in the Open Section, but treated this as a learning exercise as we have never operated a two radio single signal set-up before. �As a result we had quite a lot of configuration problems with the logging software and spent some time getting used to the Elecraft K3s, spotting SDR and software.
