3B7C operators visit Cray Valley RS

At its meeting on Thursday, 21st February 2008, the members of Cray Valley Radio Society in Eltham will host a presentation by Justin Snow G4TSH and Chris Duckling G3SVL.

These were two of the UK team to the expedition to the St. Brandon Islands in the Indian Ocean during September 2007 using the call sign 3B7C. The international team of twenty well known radio operators made over 137,000 contacts from the Islands during their stay.

Both Justin and Chris will answer questions about the DX’pedition and present unique film taken by the team during their stay. This will show not only the event itself; but the logistics leading up to their arrival in that distant part of the world.

The team consisted of radio amateurs – not only from the UK – but from as far afield as the USA right round the world to Japan, via Europe and Asia.

All local radio amateurs and members of neighbouring clubs are invited to attend the evening.

The Cray Valley Radio Society meets at the Progress Hall, Admiral Seymour Road, Eltham, London, SE9 1SL at 7.30pm for 8pm on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of every month.

See their website at www.cvrs.org for a list of current events; and those in the planning stage.
