Victory Over Japan (VJ) Day is observed annually on August 15th, commemorating the 1945 surrender of Japan and the end of World War II. 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of VJ Day.
To mark the 80th anniversary of VJ Day Dragon Amateur Radio Club members David Morgan GW6MLI and Martin Moyse 2W0NKS ran a special event station from Denbigh Moors in North Wales
The station setup was a Kenwood TS590 at 100w and a Delta Loop (full wave) antenna that was only 1 meter off of the ground and was situated North South facing.
David and Martin set the station up on a beautiful spot on Denbigh Moors some 1600ft above sea level near the old Sportsman Pub. Cefn Tan Y Graig (“Cefn Tan-yGraig is on the Hiraethog (Denbigh Moors)

The station operated between 12:00hrs and 15:00hrs making twenty contacts from stations in UK, Poland, Belgium, Germany and France. I must admit though that we did spend a fair bit of time between contacts chatting and admiring the beauty of the scenery.
