KARG commemorated the 152nd Anniversary of the successful Transatlantic cable, on Friday 27th July. Both voice and CW QSO's were made on the day with VO1TAC at the Hearts Content Cable station. The collaboration this year with the IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) proved very successful. The IET made their CW QSO with Hearts Content at 2.30pm local, and then held two one-hour lectures, which were attended by approx 60 visitors.
The Hexbeam was mounted on the 40ft trailer mast, and the IC756Pro2 rig was used with the ACOM 1000 amplfier.
Thanks to all KARG members that attended and participated on the day.
We're looking forward to the 2019 event already :)
