Special Event Stations

May – our first special event station of the year is usually at the High Salvington Windmill with the callsign GB0HSM. This windmill is just above Worthing and it will be open for tours throughout the afternoon on the Sunday. Many other mills around the world will be on the air for this event and we try to contact as many of them as possible. The windmill website is www.highsalvingtonwindmill.co.uk. Information about Mills on the Air https://www.ddars.net/mills.html.

July – the next special event station is at the Worthing Fire Station Open Day, where we operate as GB0WFB. Our station normally located in the school field behind the fire station at the base of the training tower. This event is always lots of fun for all the family.

August – usually the 3rd weekend we take part in the International Lighthouse and Lightship event. We try to make contact with as many other Lighthouse and Lightship stations as possible. Our station GB8SL is based at Shoreham Lighthouse. Website for the event https://illw.net/.
