GB2VK

On Sept 22nd 1994 the Dragon Amateur Radio Club (North Wales) will be operating
GB2VK to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the first direct wireless message
between UK and Australia.This was sent from the Marconi Company station at
Waunfawr near Caernarfon,North Wales to Wahroonga,NSW.
   
    The station which will be on air from 0001-2359Z will be set up in the 
original station buildings at Waunfawr and will operate simultaneously on 
SSB and CW.Target freqs are:
      CW........14.020          SSB.......14.170
                21.020                    21.170

     plus local 80/40m activity (10m if open..)

   The above freqs will be +/- QRM but will depend on conditions.It is hoped 
to run a packet station on site and to post operating freqs on the DX Cluster
network.

  We hope to contact VK2WAH at the Aussie end at some time during the day but
any/everyone is invited to call in; a special QSL is being issued.Please give
us a call...the old building is cold and drafty so we will need plenty of 
activity to keep the spirits up!
