GB400AA celebrating the founding of Jamestown

Three clubs in East Anglia, Clacton Radio Club, Felixstowe and District Amateur Radio Club and Harwich Amateur Radio Interest Group have joined forces to operate the GB400AA special event station.

The station will commemorate the founding of Jamestown, Virginia 400 years ago when the ships Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery arrived in Virginia. They had 102 passengers and founded the first English speaking settlement in North America.

GB400AA will be operated at the Mayflower Museum on the Halfpenny Pier at Harwich where the Harwich Society will have an exhibition showing the local area's connections with the inaugural voyages.

The station is planned to operate on 11 to 13 May and 25 to 26 May.
