On the 7th December 1927 Coastal Radio Station, Humber Radio then housed in three former railway carriages on the west pier of Grimsby Dock, moved to Trusthorpe near Mablethorpe, where it remained until 30th June 2000.

Celebrating the 80th anniversary of this occasion
Amateur Radio Station
GB80GKZ
will be active
10.00 GMT Saturday 8th December 2007 to
16.00 GMT Sunday 9th December 2007

This will be a one-off opportunity to work this call sign from the site of Humber Radio, as in the new year the site is to be redeveloped and will be lost forever.

It is planned to operate two and possibly three station CW, Phone and digimodes , any station making contact with GB80GKZ will receive a unique QSL card specialy designed for this one-off occasion.

Trusthorpe Village Hall will be open from 10am on Sunday where there will be a display of photographs and memorabilia from the day of Humber Radio, refreshments will also be available at the hall and members of the group will be available to answer any questions you may have.

With the demise of much of the world's Coast Radio Station service, this site becomes dedicated to the memory of the service.
