GB2PB PORTLAND BILL

The South Dorset Radio Society was the first Radio Club to operate from the Lighthouse at Portland Bill during a Jamboree on the Air weekend and the location was an obvious choice for the Lighthouse and Lightships Weekend. The pictures below were taken at the event in August 2000 when the callsign used was GB2PB.
