We have had a number of requests for directions/details on the operating sites so that hams and members of the public could see what a radio competition looks like. Many of the operating sites are on private land or have limited access. The sites below are easily accessible and staffed by site teams that are willing to speak with visitors.

Visiting times are

• Friday, July 11, between 1pm and 7pm
• Saturday, July 12, between 6am and 7pm

Please respect the competition. Do not interfere with the operators during the contest.
