ARLA/CLUSTER: 2o12W: Jogos Olimpicos nos satelites

2o12W active on the Satellites

Olympic Flagship Special Event Station 2 Oscar 12 Whiskey (2o12W) has
been active on the amateur radio satellites working stations in the
USA and across Europe.

The 2o12W satellite station has been operated by Ken Eaton GW1FKY, a
member of the Barry Amateur Radio Club and AMSAT-UK.
It comprises a Kenwood TS2000 feeding a 5 element dual-band "Elk"
antenna mounted on a rotator on the portable cabin.

Ken says the station is located on the promenade and the many
electrical amusements in the Fairground generate considerable QRM on
the VHF/UHF bands which has made reception difficult.
