GS3PYE/P will be active on the amateur radio satellites and 144 MHz EME from the Inner Hebrides Islands from 10-16 May 2013.
Members of Camb-Hams
will once again activate the Isle of Mull (IOSA NH15, SCOTIA CN10,
WLOTA 2485), Inner Hebrides, as GS3PYE/p between May 10-16. The
Camb-Hams have been activating the Scottish Isles each year since 2008.
Look
for thirteen operators to be active on all bands and many modes from
160-2 meters as well as 472 kHz. The HF bands will be covered by five
simultaneous stations, while 6m, 4m and 2m stations will have a great
take-off towards the UK and Europ from the island’s southeast coast in
IO76 square.
They
will have an antenna elevation system for 2m EME activity and will also
be on many of the VHF/UHF satellite passes. WSPR beacons will be
operating on most of the inactive bands to help find the best
propagation. Contest operations will take place in 70 MHz CW on May 12th
and 432 MHz UKAC on May 14th. The group will be active on the major
social networks before, during and after the trip.

Previous
trips have generated some great audio and video recordings of the
GS3PYE/P signal from around the world. Check their previous blogs and
their YouTube channel and see if you can post a better recording.
