A day out


Our day out on the 27th June was a big success.

We now have a G5RV and long wire antennas installed at the site so in future we will have less work to set up.

The day gave us a good opportunity to fully survey the site and we have found a good place to operate from which is away from the road. And of course our survey included a visit to the local pub which met with the team's approval.

As Tony already observed, the site is very quiet from an electrical point of view (although not as quiet as Phil's FT-101 would have us believe :-)

Thank you to all who participated and I hope you have now all recovered (especially the antenna gang).

Next visit in addition to the current equipment, we need to take -

  • A rubbish sack
  • More catering (BBQ?) and press the kettle James brought into service!
  • insect repellent (I have some spray stuff from Australia that works)
