Hi All,

Just a quick note to say that i will be taking 23cm ATV equipment with me this Sunday to the EAST COAST! - IO94LI.
I doubt i will see any of the other portable stations out as they are quite some distance away so anyone else please call in!
Will be looking for any contacts on ATV and will probably send some video through GB3VL and GB3EY so keep your eyes open!
Maybe trhough GB3KM if we can get over the big hill....... but unlikely!

Will have ~80W to 2x28el LoopYagi
Monitoring 144.175 SSB Microwave talkback and probably 144.750 on the car set.
