Yaesu Heritage Year 2010 - GS2MP

During 2010, Jim GM0NAI and Chris GM3WOJ/ZL1CT will be putting a collection of vintage Yaesu rigs on the air from Inverness in Scotland.

From http://www.gm7v.com/yaesu2010.htm

Each calendar month in 2010, Jim GM0NAI (GM7R) and I will be using a different model of vintage Yaesu radio, mostly on 40m and 20m CW and SSB, to give everyone world-wide the best chance of working our club callsign GS2MP.

Every QSO with the GS2MP vintage station (located near Inverness, Scotland) will earn points towards the award and you will earn extra points if you are also using a vintage Yaesu radio, but we will need a photo of you operating it !

Working a pile-up with a 40-year old radio will be tough - be prepared for some frequency drift and we won't be able to work split with most of the radios (but the old separates will be fine, hi) We might be using a hand microphone but hope to key the radios with our PCs rather than a hand-key. We intend to use linears and good antennas to make things easier for you.

Precise details of the event starting in January 2010 are still being worked out - please check back here for the latest information and a provisional calendar of which radios will be used in each month

Neither Jim nor I have any commercial connection to Yaesu - we just have a bunch of vintage Yaesu radios that we want to use to work you !
