M2000A - Greenwich
Back to Contests
Special event station M2000A. Celebrating the Millenium on the Meridian at Ranger's House, Greenwich.
I was invited to join the M2000A team by the Cray Valley Radio Society. They made me a temporary member to cover the formalities, such as insurance. I operated on two occasions, on the 3rd and 14th of January 2000.
The station was on the air from 1100z on 31st December 1999 until 1855z on 29th February 2000, and made over 47,500 QSOs with 202 DXCC entities.
