QSL via eQSL.
Information from their QRZ page:
GB8DAM
RAF North Killingholme, Lincolnshire
IO93UP / TA11
Commemorating 80-years since RAF 617 Squadron carried-out Operation Chastise, aka: "The Dambusters Raid" of 16/17th May 1943.
Activations will occur throughout the whole of May, with Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th seeing longer operating sessions.
We'll be QRV on 80m/40m SSB plus other bands/modes subject to band conditions and operator mood(!)
The operating QTH is (former) RAF North Killingholme in Lincolnshire, used by the Avro Lancaster during WW2. The site is now an industrial location home to many businesses but, from the air, the layout of the former airfield remains clearly visible.
An airworthy Lancaster (PA474) is currently based at RAF Coningsby and operated by the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight and due to fly overhead on 16th May around 7:30pm (local). We'll obviously be outside watching!
