Very Special Event Station GB80GKZSPECIAL EVENT STATION GB80GKZ On the 7th December 1927 Coastal Radio Station, Humber Radio then housed in three former railway carriages on the west pier of Grimsby Dock, moved to Trusthorpe near Mablethorpe, where it remained until 30th June 2000. The Eagle Radio Group felt that Humber Radio held a special place in, not only commercial radio history, but also amateur radio history, many hundreds of radio amateur’s will remember sitting their morse code test at the facility. The Group decided to celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the move with a unique Special Event Station call sign GB80GKZ. The weekend of the 8th & 9th December 2007 will be a one-off opportunity to work this call sign from the site of Humber Radio, as in the new year the site is to be redeveloped and will be lost forever. It is planned to operate two and possibly three station CW, Phone and digimodes , any station making contact with GB80GKZ will receive a unique QSL card specialy designed for this one-off occasion. Trusthorpe Village Hall will be open from 10am on Sunday where there will be a display of photographs and memorabilia from the day of Humber Radio, refreshments will also be available at the hall and members of the group will be available to answer any questions you may have.
