The 2009 GB7HQ operation was the seventh time that GB5HQ/GB7HQ has operated as a fully integrated multi-site nationwide station for the 24 hours of the IARU World HF Championship.

GB5HQ/GB7HQ operated on a multi-site basis from 2003 to 2009 and made over 104,000 QSOs during these seven nationwide contest operations. Details of claimed scores and published scores for GB5HQ/GB7HQ can be found on the scores page.

Photos of the GB5HQ and GB7HQ stations, antennas and operators are available on this web-site. Check each of the band-mode stations.

There was a series of free GB7HQ Awards managed by John G3LZQ. The 2009 GB7HQ Award winners can be found here.

Some 35,000 QSLs have been distributed for the IARU operations during the past seven years.

In addition over 124,000 GB5HQ/GB7HQ QSOs (including the 1994, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 operations) have been up-loaded to LoTW.
