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.
