There is 4x4 parts show at Newbury I want to go to, so I won't be around much on Sunday. Maybe in the afternoon.

Hoping to go visit IO93OX, Garrowby Hill for the Sunday afternoon, will see what the weather is like..

Sorry Rob, Ampleforth is just too dangerous for me.. might see you on air though, I reckon we could wave.

Still waiting to confirm where i'll be tomorrow/Sunday, should be out both days.

I'll be nr Ampleforth one day and the usual site IO94MJ the other.
Times: on site mid-day for a few hours.
Main band will be 23cm as always but will have gear with me for all bands.

I'm not certain if I'll be out yet, but probably Sunday in North Wales.

Graham, what bands do you have?

I'll have 23cms Analogue TX (but not as many Watts as I thought).
23cms Analogue and Digital Rx.
6cms (5.6GHz) Tx at the moment but possibly could knock together 5,6GHz RX if I'm lucky tomorrow.

You can see the end of the earth in your direction from Garrowby..
