Date & time of the field day contest: 1500 UTC Saturday 1st July 2023 until 1500 UTC Sunday 2nd July 2023.

Location: Maesbury Castle is an Iron Age hill fort on the Mendip Hills, just north of Shepton Mallet.  The site rises to 292 metres (958 ft) above sea level and enables a view over the surrounding valleys and hills, with views to the north, west and south.

The Club team arrived at Maesbury on the outskirts of Shepton Mallet (IO81RF) over the weekend of 1st & 2nd July.

As in previous years VHF NFD was well supported, everyone joined in to build the station and get aerials up in the air whilst enjoying the scenery and great company of other members.
