Welcome to the late 1970's and early 80s when G3ZIG, G4ANT, G4LOJ and G3MPN ruled the VHF/UHF contest airwaves. I was proud to belong to the group who won VHF NFD in 1982 from QRA AM06D, Trimingham quarry (!)
This page is a selection of photographs from those great days and is dedicated to the fond memories we all have of Dave, G8NGD and Owen G3JOC who are sadly no longer with us.

The people - are you there? |
The secret weapon - first get your mains supply!
|
The site - yes it really was a quarry! |
With a young looking G3LDI! |
|
|
Roy and his Mk 1 laudenboomer!
|
|
G4LOJ/P always had the best looking station! |
|
What, no curtains at the windows? |
But 23cms had the best looking operators! |
Yes - they are big wheels at the top. |
It was my gear, but who was operating?
|
Don't when this was but looks like the caravan in AM07D (Trimingham)
Great to have pictures of Dave and Owen - but look who's talking the ammeter up the most!
Owen - G3JOC |
Dave - G8NGD
|
Roy - G3ZIG (you won't work them looking at the camera!) |
Andy - G8VLL
|
Gordon - G8HWD |
This time we went to a site called Hell Hole! (AM06D) and it was for those looking after the generator - which broke the fly wheel! But we still came 5th overall.
Great site! |
The group

The famous caravan |
G3MPN/P on 4mts |
G3ZIG/P - with G8VLL's megaboomer |
G4LOJ/P on 70cms |
G4ANT/P on 23cms with G8GTZ operating |
What's up Dave? |
Looking serious...
|
Oh well, that won't run again! |
Might as well take it easy then! |
