RSGB SSB Field Day
4-5 Sep 2010 ... more

GMDX Group AGM 2010 The GMDX Group AGM 2010 will take place on Friday 10 September, at 7.30pm, when the speaker will be Mike Gloistein, GM0HCQ. Mike is the Communications Officer aboard the Royal Research Ship James Clark Ross. Prior to each winter season, the ship visits and replenishes each of the British Antarctic Survey bases. Mike has operated from most of the VP8 countries, and many will have worked him as VP8CMH/MM. His last GMDX presentation was in 2002, when his talk was both witty and informative. After 8 years, no doubt he has many new tales to tell :-) As the King Robert Hotel is NOT available on this date, the venue will be the Royal Hotel - Ivy Conference Annexe, Henderson Street, Bridge of Allan, t:01786 832284. The Ivy Conference Annexe is some 400 yards east from the main hotel on Henderson Street, which is Bridge of Allan's main thoroughfare. See map. DXpedition Sponsorship Sponsorship has been provided, for many years, by the GMDX Group to major DXpeditions. You can find out more about previous events here. If you are planning a DXpedition, and seeking sponsorship, here are the ground rules. Please note that the time constraint for uploading to LOTW has been shortened from 12 to 6 months. GA MA and 2A Awards To coincide with the new GA, MA and 2A prefixes, the GMDX Group awarded Homecoming Scotland Engraved Challenge Trophies to the top three stations, outside Scotland, who contacted the largest number of different GA, MA and 2A stations between 10 August and 30 November 2009. Similarly, engraved trophies were awarded to the top three stations in Scotland who, using the GA, MA and 2A prefixes only, worked the the largest number of stations outside Scotland.
