A UK-wide national team will operate the RSGB headquarters station GB7HQ in the IARU World HF Championship next weekend on 12 and 13 July. The event starts at 1200GMT on Saturday and ends 1200GMT on Sunday. The object of the contest is to contact as many amateurs as possible, especially other IARU HQ teams, on 160, 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10m. SSB and CW will be used. The GB7HQ team are looking for as much support as possible from UK amateurs, so are encouraging calls on as many band and mode combinations as possible. Up to twelve such combinations are possible. An award is available for multiple band and mode contacts with GB7HQ. Details of this, the station locations and operators, can be found at the website www.gb7hq.com.
