Geoparks Communications Weekend

Ireland's South Eastern Amateur Radio Group will, for the 10th consecutive year, take part in the Geoparks Communications weekend which takes place this year over the weekend of 3-4th June 2017 to coincide with European Geoparks week.
 
The event is co-ordinated by Martin G3VOF of the Riviera Amateur Radio Club and awards are available for working Geopark stations including the main station GB6GEO. Although most activity is in Europe, a number of stations will be QRV from Geoparks around the world.
 
The South Eastern Amateur Radio Group will be QRV as EI2GEO from the Copper Coast Geopark in County Waterford. As the Geopark event is not a contest, operation tends to be relaxed with ample time and an ideal location to experiment with antennas and equipment. There is also a strong social aspect to the event with barbeque and drinks on Saturday night. Activity will be mainly on HF (SSB and CW). For more information about EI2GEO please see
