400th Anniversary of America - GB400AA

Members from a number of amateur radio clubs (CRC, FDARS, HARIG) from the east coast area of the UK have formed the GB400AA team to organise and activate a unique special event station to commemorate the 400th Anniversary of America.

The plan is to operate from the quay area at Harwich which has many historical links to the ships that first arrived in America.

Operation will take place from 1200 UTC May 11th to 2300 UTC May 13th on a number of HF bands (primarily 80m, 40m and 20m), using CW and SSB.

It is also hoped that GB400AA will be operational for at least part of the CQ WPX CW Contest (May 26-27th).

A special QSL card will be available for all contacts. QSL via Tom Robinson (G0SBW), 2 Beacon Heights, St.Osyth, Clacton-on-sea CO16 8JW, UNITED KINGDOM.
