Bicentenary Celebrations at Tunnel End

  1. Denby Dale Amateur Radio Society will be operating GB200HNC from Tunnel End, Marsden, near Huddersfield over the weekend of April 2nd and 3rd 2011. The event, organised by British Waterways, is to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the opening of Standedge Tunnel on April 4th 1811. The tunnel is the highest, longest and deepest canal tunnel in the UK, stretching for 5,029 metres (3.25 miles) through hard millstone grit. An engineering marvel worked on by Thomas Telford, the tunnel runs from Marsden in Yorkshire through to Diggle in Lancashire. Reopened in 2001 after a 20 year restoration programme, the Standedge Tunnel & Visitor Centre sits on the banks of the historic Huddersfield Narrow Canal, a waterway of startling contrasts, from tranquil countryside to dramatic mills.
    The event is a real family weekend featuring tunnel legging, craft fare, canal craft demonstrations and much, much more and will be open from 10am to 4pm each day.

    DDARS have obtained the SPECIAL, special call sign GB200HNC, Golf Bravo Two Hundred Huddersfield Narrow Canal and will be operating on all HF bands over the whole weekend. The station will be located on the first floor of the Visitor Centre in the Thomas Bourne room. Under the direct supervision of a licensed operator visitors will have the opportunity to send messages to other stations throughout the world

History

  1. Our amateur radio society was formed almost 40 years ago at the Pie Hall in Denby Dale, a village perhaps best known for its famous pies. At our twice monthly meetings we have guest speakers, construction nights, and surplus equipment sales or plan our next special event station.

    Amateur Radio is for everyone
    Amateur radio enthusiasts come from all walks of life. You will find among us all ages, income levels and nationalities.
    Whether you want to chat to someone at home or abroad over the radio, transmit Morse code, or transmit data via satellite, or perhaps be on standby to provide emergency support to your community, there is a place for you in the worldwide amateur radio community.
