Final preparations underway for SSB Field Day

The ever-popular RSGB SSB Field Day taking place on 4 and 5 September, starts the month’s HF contesting.

There are Open and Restricted sections, the Restricted having become slightly more popular than the Open over the past decade.

In recent times the winning team in the Open section have generally logged well over 1000 QSOs, while the winning Restricted team have generally logged about 1000 QSOs.

A spot of advice to participants, have a suitable number ready to give participants in the All Asia DX Contest that runs concurrently. The Asians will be looking for your age, rather than a serial number.

Unfortunately, the long range forecast looks like unsettled weather for the whole country, so it could be a rather damp, but enjoyable, event.
