The Mid Ulster Amateur Radio club will be hosting the special event callsign GI100RSGB over the weekend Dec 6-8

We hope to be active on most operational satellites from Friday 3pm UT, however the current storm blowing in N. Ireland may slow down antenna setup.

An ideal opportunity to work this special event call on a rare mode 🙂

Updates will be posted at
