ATV Activity Weekend 12/13 December

[M0SKM]

Hi,
Weather permitting there will be a small group of locals operating from Dunstable Downs. There have been occasions when the local council closed all access so fingers crossed...and gloved

We'll update this post with frequencies etc. nearer the time. Hope we have some company on the bands.

Hi Steve,

Getting close to installing 146.5 Rx and Tutioune with auto TS "Lock Light" at GV site, all working on bench.

I think it will need "Remote Desktop" "tweaking" on incoming signals to start with, as you would do on a simplex link.

Work in progress on this one....

So maybe worth trying 2M if you get a chance in December, will let you know when set up anyway.

Hi All

There was some confusion during the last activity weekend about valid exchanges and the submission of logs. To clarify for 12/13 December:

- All that is required for a valid contact is the exchange of reports (P0-P5 of vision) and locators. I would encourage you to exchange 4-figure codes, but I will count any valid vision contact, 4-figure code or not. The aim is to encourage activity!

- Please submit logs using this spreadsheet http://www.batc.org.uk/contests/YYYYMMD ... ty_Log.xls. I will recommend awards based on the spreadsheets that I receive. No log, no award.

- Certificates will be awarded for:
-- Repeater Group with most QSOs
-- Best DX Contact on any band
-- Best DX Contact on RB-TV (800 KHz or less)

Unfortunately the local Luton and Dunstable ATV lads will not now be operating from Dunstable Downs. however the same group will be on air from their respective home QTH.

At this moment, GB3GV inputs all working.

1249 Analog and Digital.

437 Digital. (extra filtering added last week)

146.5 Digital. (extra filtering added last week)

I will try to monitor over the weekend, especially 146.5 so that Tutioune can be tweaked as necessary.

And just as I have got my 146.5MHz TX working too. Ah well.

I plan to operate from home (IO91KF) on Saturday and go out portable on Sunday, probably from Walbury Hill.

Will have 146 RB-TV, 437 RB-TV and DATV and 23cms ATV and DATV.

Talk back via 144.750 and DXspot.

Hope to work some of you.
