Some of our club members again activated the Whitrope Heritage Centre<\/a> near Hawick in this year’s Railways On The Air<\/a> event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Different callsign from usual WRH, which no doubt created some confusion when the QRZ page corresponding to the WHR callsign gives details of another station. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good weekend was had by all, despite drizzly rain most of the first day then heavier rain on the Sunday afternoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

74 QSOs were made over the weekend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
