Members of the Amateur Radio Experimenters Group are banding together to form teams to participate in this year’s Remembrance Day Contest to be held on Saturday August 13th and Sunday August 14th 2016. The contest starts at 0300UTC and runs for 24hrs.
Andy VK5AKH, Theo VK5MTM and Grant VK5GR are forming one of the AREG teams. They will be operating from Sedan, Mansfield Park and Tickera respectively. Their team team is “AREG: Mostly Harmless”. We are hoping to field at least one other team as well!
Grant is planning on operating in the mixed modes section as well with both RTTY and SSB. He will listen for RTTY contacts at 10 minutes to the hour, every hour on whichever band is firing on SSB at the time.
Full details of the contest can be found on the WIA Website.
