Roger G3SXW and Nigel G3TXF made 3,720 QSOs operating the FOC Club Callsign GH4FOC from Jersey (GJ) for three days from Friday 10 May to Sunday 12 May 2013. This GH4FOC operation was part of the month-long (May 2013) 75th anniversary celebration activity being organised by the FOC First Class CW Operators' Club. The QSL Manager for GH4FOC is Phil G3SWH. During the weekend there was also some CW operation (1,100 QSOs) as GJ3TXF. QSLing for GJ3TXF is via G3TXF. All logs will be up-loaded to both Club Log and LoTW. |

| The GH4FOC operation was near Gorey on the island of Jersey. The Jersey GH (club-call) prefix is not as familiar as the usual GJ. | The short flight to Jersey from Gatwick was on BA's 737 with the registration G-DOCW... very appropriate for two of the passengers. | ||||||||||||||||||
