All activities must be properly socially distanced with all station
activity, including station assembly being carried out by the operator, or
only with support from people who are living at the same house. We are not
opening up ‘normal’ multi-operator contesting as in section ‘O’ entries at
this time. Also, any local COVID-19 restrictions, such as any limitation
on access to particular public locations must be strictly observed.
Please keep a close eye on the
Contest Committee web site –
https://www.rsgbcc.org and on the e-mail
reflectors / Facebook groups for any urgent announcements.

Please be aware that on 2m there are some spot frequencies which are named in the 144MHz Band Plan which it would be wise to avoid for the UKAC contest :- Firstly, NO SSB below 144.150MHz or you will lose points ! Specifically 144.370 which is the MGM calling Frequency (MGM is machine generated mode activity such as JT65 and FSK441) but also consideration should be shown for:-
144.175 Microwave talkback Finally a link to ALL the current RSGB Band Plans Click here ! April 2019
