Ropley Station “Railways on the Air” 2024
During the September ‘ROTA’ weekend, our club had the special event station ‘GB9WCL’ operational at Ropley station on the historic Watercress line.
The old waiting room was made available to us for the entire weekend, and in there we had three desks which were working 2m, HF FT8 and 40m SSB.
The 40m SSB desk was the most busy, with many pile-ups to be managed, and eventually clocking up nearly 140 QSOs over the weekend. And at times we had a canine supervisor to watch over the proceedings !

A great fun weekend, and a big thank you to Jon M0VVX for obtaining the special event call sign and making all the arrangements with the station management.
