Hype for the Future 50J: Additional British Overseas Insights

novaTopFlex has just finished identifying attractions in the British Overseas Territories. Unlike the hustle and bustle of a city like London, not a single territory in the British Overseas can claim such a fast pace of life. The significantly more modest pace of life in an area such as the Cayman Islands or the Turks and Caicos Islands is often further mitigated by the waterfront, of which the Overseas Territories provide plenty of shore as many are insular. Gibraltar, of course, is the […]

Hype for the Future 50H: Gibraltar 🇬🇮 and Ceuta

Ceuta is one of two (2) remaining Spanish possessions in Africa, though along with Melilla, Morocco 🇲🇦 has a regular habit of contesting the Spanish 🇪🇸 presence in the area within the African continent. Interestingly, Gibraltar is effectively on the opposite side of the Strait of Gibraltar from specifically Ceuta, with Melilla located significantly to the east, also opposite Morocco. Moroccan culture is rarely, if ever, absorbed into Spain, especially not to the same extent as […]

@warteschleife That's just how they do it in #Gibraltar. Non-resident foreigners only get permission for "50 MHz ; 70-70.5 MHz; 144 MHz; 420-450 MHz" (yes, I copied this from the permit, it's really 420-450 MHz).

Our only way to transmit on HF would be to use the Club Station of the Gibraltar Amateur Radio Society, but that wouldn't count for #POTA and #SOTA.

We received permission for a #POTA activation on the Rock of #Gibraltar on Friday, December 19. It has only been activated once so far.

We are only allowed to transmit on the 6m/2m/70 cm bands, no HF. I've only ever done HF so far and don't have too much hope for 6m. How do we get as many contacts as possible on VHF and UHF? Is there a way to advertise this activation to as many Spanish hams as possible? Just call into all the repeaters beforehand?
