Just a few photographs of some members of Sands who operated the IOTA station over the weekend.....
Kev managed the best contact of the contest with a good report into VK7 using 40m and our simple dipole from the Elecraft K3!
Frank G8BME can be seen using the multiplier station which used the Yaesu FT1000D.
Gary M0RGB running with a frequency on 15m!
A rare photo of Hughie G4UME actually caught on camera doing a bit of contesting...
Paul G4TUZ did good work on the night shift and had a good run on 20m in the early hours...
That is it for another year! We managed to beat our score for 2007, which is all that matters. All equipment performed very well apart from a small problem with the balun on the Spiderbeam which affected 10m slightly. The bands were in fairly good condition all weekend and every band was workable at some point. Thanks to the folk at Sunderland Point who made us very welcome, yet again! Thanks also to everybody who came along to see what we were up to! Its been a wonderful contest and a lovely weekend...see you in IOTA in 2009!
