Returning to Spurn Point – GB2SL Activation 2025
Returning to Spurn Point – GB2SL Activation 2025
Spurn Point. We’re thrilled to confirm that callsign GB2SL will be active
again from this iconic site, thanks to the kind invitation of the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.
A changing coastline
Spurn is never still. Following severe storms in 2013, a 200-yard breach reshaped the spit and separated it
from the mainland, turning Spurn into a tidal island. As a result, the Spurn High Lighthouse is no longer
reachable by ordinary road vehicles. Our 12-strong team — plus all the radio gear — will travel in the Trust’s
rugged 4×4 vehicles to reach the site. Adventure begins before we even call CQ!
On the air as GB2SL
Operating as GB2SL, we’ll share the story of the lighthouse and Spurn’s ever-shifting shoreline while
working stations around the world. Whether you’re across the country or across the globe, we’d love to log you.
