GB23C has provided a great opportunity for some of Cray Valley RS's newest members to experience a special-event amateur radio station for the first time; Will M7WGG on the microphone.

3 metric tons of ballast arriving on set-up day, used for securing the guy ropes of the main mast (special ground restrictions prevented the use of guy pegs on the ORNC grounds)

In 2022 we ran special station GB70E at Windsor for the Platinum Jubilee. A single main mast will be used at Greenwich for the Coronation station

GB23C is located to the west of the four main courts of the Old Royal Naval College, between the Visitor Centre and the River and very close to the Cutty Sark.
