In 2014 the Camb-Hams traditional Scottish Island activation, beginning with Mull in 2008, Harris in 2009 and 2010, Arran in 2011 and Mull in 2012 and 2013 again, we’ve decided to head to the top of Lewis in the Scottish Outer Hebrides (IOTA EU-010). The location is The Decca, IO68UL.
- HF bands from 80m to 10m covered with five stations on air simultaneously, all capable of running the legal power limit from five linear amplifiers
- 6m and 4m with a great take-off to the UK and Europe, all at legal limit
