Hi, my name is Dave, Callsign is M0YAA. My father (G7HJR) was a BATC member for many years in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. I am just getting into ATV in Grimsby.
I had to mothball my radio shack when I moved and it's been out of action for a few years. Haven't ventured into TV before today. I'll be reading the getting started posts.
Regards
Good Morning

Re: Good Morning
Welcome to ATV, Dave.
I'm located in Anlaby Common, just to the west of Hull so you're quite close. If you need any help or advice with getting started on ATV please do feel free to give me a shout.
I'm trying to raise interest in ATV in the area. Back in the 1990s it was very popular but activity has declined, particularly since the radar south of you changed frequency in the 23cm band making the ATV repeater that is supposed to serve Hull and Grimsby unusable.
I'm on 146.5MHz and 437MHz digital ATV. I have 23cm DATV and FM ATV but the antenna is down for a pre-amp to be installed.

Welcome Dave
Another inmate..
Hope you enjoy this TV stuff as much as the rest of us, you are in a great location for a GB3GG too, so you already have something to aim for.. and receive capability is by far the easiest part.

I volunteer up on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway so I pass not far from you after crossing the Humber Bridge. I've seen the stream from GB3GG.
I'm in the process of putting the 7800 back in to the car and converting my 2m and 4m business radios to ham use.
Yeah, my dad got me interested years ago but he went off the air in the late 90s and never really returned apart from a hand held to talk to me after I passed my tests. He went SK in 2012 so I inherited his bits as the only other licence holder in the family.Wolfie G8VAT wrote:Welcome Dave

I have a couple of monochrome CCTV monitors I hope to use and a Tatung BSB receiver my dad bought years ago to convert. Hoping to find something to do with that too. It's all good fun.
