SPRING GM/ES Activity Day - 6 March 2026

First one off the hill tomorrow, grab the big table in The Bothy, Braemar. Everyone usually arrives in dribs and drabs, so just order your food as you arrive. 1pm is the “official” time.

The “Southern Chapter” or “Pentlands Posse” from Allermuir GM/SS-171 and Black hill GM/SS-167 are planning a meet in the cafe at Craigdon sports just off the bypass at about the same time.

There’s planned to be a couple of operators on each hill, hope to catch you all tomorrow s2s.

Whilst not where the action is in ES, I plan to be out on GW/SW-003 in the morning - so maybe some S2S opportunities.

I think I may go and swap my alert call from GM4LLD to MS0TA in that case Tony :wink:

Now I’m definitely incentivised for S2S :smiley: I was planning to focus on 2M SSB / CW, with 10W plus roll-up J-Pole (from the 705, not cheap and cheerful Quansheng SSB :wink: ). Feels like that might be a stretch to get to ES. Possible I could muster a 3 element yagi for 2M, but the current set-up I have is a bit clunky for taking to a hill-top. Will take HF too.

There’s a small chance of some tropo.

Friday 1800

Saturday noon

It looks to be better later on, and on Saturday, for those planning a second summit.
