Commemorative Station G0RAF 8-10 November 2024 at RAF Binbrook for Remembrance Weekend
RAF Waddington Amateur Radio Club returned to former RAF Binbrook for Remembrance Weekend SES over the weekend of 9-10 November, using the club callsign of G0RAF to remember the brave crews who flew from RAF Binbrook.
The station tent, and the memorial to 460 Squadron RAAF at the station ident square.
We were operational on HF (mostly SSB with some CW on Sunday) and 2m FM, making contacts with 211 stations, now all acknowledged on QRZ.com and EQSL.
All members of the team present on Sunday 10th observed the 2 minute silence at the 460 RAAF Squadron memorial, followed by a short memorial ceremony and wreath laying.
Brian, G4HIV and Andy, M0IYE in charge of the HF CW station on Sunday morning, with Chris, 2E0BMA chasing 2m contacts!
As usual, we were well fed by our chef John,SWL, with extra goodies supplied by Andy, M0IYE. The logistics of transporting our gear to site were expertly handled by John and Chris, 2E0BMA and Bob, G3VCA.
