Furness Amateur Radio Society members scaled the heights of Gummer's How, overlooking Lake Windermere to operate from the Trig point. It was Rob Hannan's G4RQJ SK first SOTA summit (G/LD-050). Rob a staunch member of FARS was also a SOTA enthusiast. Members together with Rob's widow Audrey and son Jim, elected to "activate" the summit in his memory. Other members of the club simultaneously operated from Birkrigg and other points in the Furness peninsula. Operating on HF,2m, 4m, 6m and 23cm. On the latter Nick Gregory G0HIK reports 10 QSO's on 23 cm including 2 summit to summit QSO's. Additionally Martyn M0TEB and George M0SSD had their first forays with 23cm. Meanwhile Mark M5TEA on HF had the furthest QSO with an operator in Brazil.
In the words of Chairman Chris M0KPW "It was great to hear so many club members on the air, on numerous bands and modes, all in memory of Rob RQJ - I think you'll agree, we did him proud!"
