 International
Pumping Stations on the Air
The first International Pumping Stations on the Air
event was held over the August bank holiday weekend and was a huge success.
It was organized by Burton Amateur Radio Club and operated
from Claymills Pumping Station. 12 stations registered to get involved
in this new event. 128 stations contacted the club over the weekend, 79
on 2m and 49 on HF (SSB and CW).
Their greatest distance was WN3R, Richard, in Rockville MD, USA on 20m
SSB. Everyone who took part will receive a special event QSL card via
the bureau.
Club Secretary, Steve Warren, 2E0KPO, commented that
he was pleased by the amount of pumping stations that took part and the
number of visitors to the event.
Now the group know the event was a success they are going to make arrangements
for awards next year. They are planning on operating on the August bank
holiday again next year.
