Whoops sausage fingers not keying on vhf or uhf which is odd? Maybe more SJX tests durring week.
The FCQ has landed prob on his Bum! SSB only tested with G4SJX need to sort additional sound cards for FT847 play thus morning with IC706 even got Icom dreaded CIV to work Bad news not data keying on v/in
Anyone QRV on 6 2 or 70cms data modes just got my 736R working and looking for some activity.
Yes having an amazing time here meeting all the family once again after 10 years! Thunderstorms and torrential rain here too but low 30's with the storms and high 30's when the sun does decide to show. even struggling to monitor echolink due to cellular coverage! That's amongst the power cuts! Tbh its quite nice to be off the grid though!
Jon hoping you having a great break cannot help 're HT other than Barry G4BUD uses it to chat back to Blighty when he is in EA8 here at Cropredy huge overnight storms with thunder and lighting glad I am in a caravan but all surrounding tents seem intact.cu Monday?
TJY occasionally monitoring of GB3HT via ECHOLINK, nothing heard locally on 2/70 FM apart from pirate stations on PMR equipment, struggling to access DMR too!
Good morning all conditions on 40M not brilliant post sausage and pre walking though my Deutch has improved. 40m was singing last night with OE88YL worth a listen tonight. I shall not be QRV in evenings as it's a long walk into Banbury to gigs via Oxford canal..if you dont see me Monday I have had too much Hobgoblin and fell in!
