Tea? (Part 2)

[welsh dragon]

Off for a mooch to the LBS.
After the Evans debacle I am hacked off.

Good luck scotialass. Hope you find what your looking for.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

Good for you, looks like a proper outfit altogether, 2 meter antenna will be a good addition, although it may bring problems mounting and dismounting, like a flag would. Unless you were to get one of those little front racks, and mount it there.

I carry a handie with me most of the time, I worked a SOTA station to the N of me yesterday with no problem from sea level. I'm usually not too far from a high spot if I am out..I can rattle up a 3 ele yagi that I can get ready in a minute..I've a portable 5 ele one which breaks down to 1m in length
I have this , click HERE...
Worked FL, NC, IA and AZ over the last 24 hours

Good afternoon all
Dreich isn't the word for today

A cuppa will compensate, I'm sure

Back still, painful, but not as painful as yestersay, thanks for asking. Me, if I didn't have coffee I would go demented.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

I will try to cobble a ¼λ onto the rack on my folding bike, might be something I can do in the summer..

Not fancy doing some SOTA

[Bobby Mhor]

Getting yer butt to the top of a 'Marilyn' and making four contacts using ham radio....
A 'marilyn' is a category of a hill , like 'munro' ( just in case you dinna ken)
Its the reason I was in NWales last Sept
I've not been out this year yet due to transport problems but now Mrs has another car..I'll get going.
I'd cycle but after hauling myself and the gear then back down, I don't think I'd be able to cycle home

I was most impressed with the set up, it would fair put Ben Nevis's old ruins to shame.
The surprising thing was the prices, very reasonable....and friendly staff.
Now if it was the Lake District?
There was a group of local schoolkids who sang/belted out 'Land of my Fathers' just below the trig point at the summit, it made the trip for me...

I don't know how they can do the reasonable prices especially when you consider how much it cost them to build the dam thing. It was milions
