[SOC] Well its 50MHz Time, and SoC Ops do it again !

Hi all
well we went out and plyed in the RSGB's 50MHz contest today. 
We picked our location, no one appears to have tried operating from their before, so it looks good.

Our QRA Locator was IO93AF. Guess what we forgot to check ? Beacons. Location of 25W Beacon....IO93BF.
Yes the whole of the band due South was wiped out when that thing fired up. 

We prevented one of our team from marching up to the beacon with a pair of wire cutters....the bloody thing was visible !!

Later on, we discovered a flat battery on a 4x4. Jump leads wouldn't do the job, so we carved up some spare RG213 and jumped it with that.

SoC in first class operation !
