Purpose

What's it all about? It's about doing something different & unique incorporating aviation, navigation, amateur radio, stamina & some majestic Scottish Islands.

A chance meeting between Hamish & Bob found a common interest in Scottish islands & adventure. This resulted in a plan to accept the 24 Hour Dawn to Dusk challenge operating amateur radio from a significant number of Scottish islands.

Award Trophy

In order to celebrate the challenge, we will be awarding an Orkney Crystal Glass Trophy to one lucky amateur radio station. This specially commissioned trophy will be awarded to the first station that has worked us on all the islands that we activate or the first to work the most islands activated. All we ask is the recipient funds the appropriate post & packaging.

The specially commissioned trophy will be in the shape of a stone from the famous Ring o' Brodgar site at Stenness, Orkney Islands.
