To quote from the Kents Cavern site - 'Kents Cavern is a prehistoric cave and award winning visitor attraction. The site was used by Britain’s earliest ancient humans thousands of years ago and today the cave is the only underground visitor centre in the UNESCO Global Geopark, a protected national monument and an internationally renowned prehistoric show cave'.
It's been a while since I have personally visited the caves, however it's definately worth a visit if you are ever in the Torbay area, and as the oldest recognisable human dwelling in Britain, eveidence has been found in the caves dating back around 1/2 million years ago.
The station is being run in conjunction with many other geopark stions not only in the UK but worldwide as well, all promoting their own local areas of natural interest.
I managed to work GB6GEO earlier, on every band from 160m to 6m, which was interesting, if nothing else it showed the signal differences for a multi-band antenna.
And here is the QSL card to prove the contacts !
It was good as well to catch up with Nick, 2E0GDQ, and his lovely YL, Tori, (not Amos) and also to meet for the first time, Paddy, M1EIW who owns the TR repeater (!! ;-) and also M6KAR, Karol, who is from Central Europe and loves VW Golf's
