Qsl info:-http://eu009.webplus.net/gb1ol.html

GB1OL will be active from The Brough of Birsay lighthouse on Brough Island  in the Orkney Island group.

Operators will be  Colin - GM0IFM, Glenn - 2M0DES & David - MM5DWW / MA5DWW ( qsl for manager this trip ).

IOTA EU-009, IOSA OR-01, WAB HY22, GRID # IO89ID.

We arrive on the Island by foot via the tidal causeway on Friday 15th August and aim to be operational by that evening. The station will be dismantled on Monday morning .

Our plan is to be active on 80m, 40m, 30m, 20m 17m, 15m, 12m, 10m, 6m & 2m with a mix of cw, ssb, psk and rtty. That is all dependent on masts, antennas as well as two portable generators functioning correctly, and of course the very changable Orkney weather.

If you here us please call in.
