The Weekend of 19th/20th June sees the RSGB 6m Trophy and like on many other contest dates, G0VHF sets up their /P operation on the cliffs over looking the North Sea and Walton on the Naze, Essex, UK. However, this year saw a small change in the program as 3 LFA Yagis were errected. 2 x 7el 9.8M LFAs and 1 x 10el LFA of 17.3m in length were raised on 2 towers for this years event.

Having the salt water take off made for excellent performance towards the east although the ODX came from AA7A at over 8500kms away to the west.

The antennas where considered a great success and all involved look forward to the RSGB VHF field day in a few weeks time to stretch the legs of these huge LFAs once more.
