6ZZ centenary

On 5th July 1924 amateur radio station 6ZZ was established on a train travelling from King's Cross to Newcastle-on-Tyne to test if two-way communication could be established between an amateur radio station on a moving train and amateur radio stations at fixed locations. The test was successful; 6ZZ made several QSOs with fixed amateur radio stations.
We are inviting BRARS members to join in the celebration of this centenary by operating GX4LMR during 5th-14th July inclusive.
There's more information in April's Rails and Radio. To book an operating slot please contact us via email to GX4LMR@BRARS.info
Our operating schedule is on our QRZ.com page..
