Come to TARS this evening for a special reveal of something….. that something might be fun…. might be useful…. intrigued? best get down!
Also as a replacement of the postponement Lin and others will be performing maintenance on the TARS’s antenna where a ‘slight’ issue was discovered last week.

80th Anniversary of D Day weekend : GB80DCS
2024-06-07 12:00 - 2024-06-09 15:00 | TQ7 2TG, Slapton Sands, Devon, TQ7 2TG
If you are attending or are planning to visit the SES running over next weekend at Slapton Sands you need to know the following information:

Criteria for the Special Event station at Torcross are as follow:-

Pot luck for parking until the desired spaces become available.
Parking must be paid for in all spaces used.
It has been explained that the event could go into the night, which will require some operating and some sleeping, but we will have to play this by ear……….
Operating times are not restricted, so operating can carry on through out.
There must be a printed sign (A4 size) in the window of all our vehicles explaining that they are the operating vehicles, and what we are doing. (See attached).
Also display that permission has been gained from Emma Widecombe at SHDC (in case or parking inspectors)

To all who are taking part please realise I have twisted a few arms in order to allow us to do this so please do not abuse it
G4VTO
As you can gather, Peter (G4VTO) has gone to some considerable lengths to get us permission to be on this particular site. So make sure you abide by the rules.
If are required to move etc then we will have to comply.
Whilst we do plan to have VHF running, a test during the recce showed that access to GB3TR isn’t feasible with a hand held radio, so don’t rely on it to check in with the SES operators.
If you have any queries please email in asap.
73 Lin.

Taking place at Slapton Sands. A weekend of QSO’s as for and wide as our radios will go to celebrate the 80th anniversary of D Day.
