I hope I’ve done it correctly.
If so, funds should have been sent for 2 of us (myself and Peter M1BZJ).
We will try and be a bit earlier this year

Confirmed, paid and alerted for GW/MW-018.
Would be great if anyone could activate MW-020 as still have to chase this one in MW.
This will be my third edition and all have been excellent. Although it has ‘Hog Roast’ in the title, I have never seen any skewered pig/piglet/hog being roasted above an open wood fire during any of the previous GW SOTA Day editions I attended.
Food however is great and the company even better.

Weekend is in the diary, campsite booked and have just 'Paypal’ed £20 for me and my sister for the hog roast.
No summit selected yet, as I’ll see how I’m feeling on the weekend before I try anything overly adventurous!
Cheers,

BOOK SOONER RATHER THAN LATER
Thanks again all 73, Ben GW4BML
Hi Ben,
My dad Tom @M1EYP no longer has a gig at present for Saturday 14th June so there is a very slight chance that we maybe able to make it to the Hog Roast after all.
However, we will not be able to confirm for definite or send any monies across to you until the week preceding the Hog Roast as my dad would like to keep Saturday 14th June clear for the time-being just in case he does get booked to do a gig in this date.

Hi Ben,
I’ll be going. £10 sent over
Might be my first activation of 2025 at this rate looking forward to it
Rod, M0JLA, and Vicki, M6BWA, hope it will be 3rd time lucky
£20 paid as requested.
Hope you are now enjoying Orkney.
73,
Rod
Morning everyone,
Just under two weeks, and we will be hosting the fourth GW SOTA S2S and hog roast get together in Mid-Wales. To date, we have 55 people paid and confirmed they are attending, this is great news. That doesn’t mean we wouldn’t love for more to just turn up on the day, or even message me over the next week letting me know you’d like to come along and join in the fun - EVERYONE IS STILL WELCOME!!
Please find below google maps link to the field, where the meet up and hog roast will take place:
For people who attended last years event - it’s in the same place
Please find the ‘What3Words’ location as well: unstable.instructs.chaos
Let’s hope the weather will be on our side for the day, I tried to book the sun, but it is in great demand, so we will have to cross our fingers and see!
Looking forward to working as many people as possible throughout the morning, whether its from a summit, home QTH, or out chasing /m or /p - and meeting up face-to-face in the afternoon.
Have a safe journey all!
73, Ben

Is this a clue as to how the day will go?
You got it I paid a lot for that phrase!
Hi Ben,
Apologies, but although me and my dad Tom @M1EYP were planning to attend the GW SOTA Hog Roast, we are now no longer able to attend. The reason being is that my dad got offered a gig on the same day as this Hog Roast which was too good to turn down.
