Operation from Tywyn will also feature the 472KHz band, using the special call GB8MD on Saturday, during daylight hours.
It is hoped to erect a kite supported antenna, with a long wire up to 200 metres long. If weather conditions are not favourable for the kite, the same wire will be supported on poles at a lesser height. The operating frequency will be around 474 KHz, with about 30 watts RF power. Calls and reports will be most welcome. tel: 07932 927887
