VHF NATIONAL FIELD DAY 2016

Humber Fortress DX A.R.C took part in this years VHF National Field Day event on Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of July.

The weather was slightly against us to start with and was blowing a gale (always fun to have when your trying to erect a scan mast or 2). This was followed by some heavy rain, a sure sign to put the kettle on, but did get better as the weekend went on.

The event ran for 24 hours and even though VHF isn’t the easiest contest to work (lots of patients needed) some members camped over on the Saturday night to carry on manning the radio’s.

Thank you to all club members who took part, and helped to make the weekend a success.
