Railways on the Air
GB2RDR Operated over the weekend 24th and 25th of September 2016
The Royal Deeside Railway is located at Milton of Crathes, Banchory, Aberdeenshire, AB31 5QH
We had a very successful weekend operation with the backdrop of the SALMON steam engine at the edge of the grounds of Crathes Castle on the banks of Royal Deeside
With a simple dipole and the Society’s TS 590, we managed a leisurely 143 contacts and coped with bus loads of visitors which made QSO’s “interesting”
Other sources of QRM from the engine steam whistle were greatly appreciated by distant stations.
The percentage of e-QSL’s for special events keeps increasing year on year and we have 21% confirmed for GB2RDR
