[M0KPW]

We worked 72 miles from Corney Fell into Dolphin, North Wales. P5 / 4 both ways. Pity about the weather.

Well done. You should be able to do Corney to GI and GM.

Yes we hope so.
Just need some GM and GI volunteers

Hi

I had 2 contacts on 5.6 GHz FM ATV from Win Green (IO80WX) yesterday, both over obstructed paths, G8GTZ/P at 36 km

and GW8VPG/P at 109 km.

Neither anywhere near P5, but I was pleased considering the paths.

Also worked G4BVK in Bristol and received some excellent H265 pictures on 146 MHz from him.

Today was a fun day out, quite a few stations to work on 6cm.

On 6cm:
G0RPH/P and G4PDF/P nr Caistor, Lincolnshire
G8AGN/P and M1EGI/P at Sheffield
I think all participants worked each other in a triangle roughly 100km all paths
My 600mW 6cm Tx died on the second round after i had tweaked the elevation on my dish so i had to call it a day on that band, looks like the smd regulator IC died as it is now charcoal!

on 23cm:
I also worked M0MLJ at Bolsover 108km, been a long time since i worked Ray, nice to see another signal again 23cm analogue.
I also saw GB3VL, and G0KOO from Boston accessing VL.

Will be out again tomorrow from ~1pm (after lunch!) @IO94MJ, hopefully lots of stations can make it on then too

Good stuff here - what do people use for tile overlays ?

We had a very successful expedition to the Blorenge on Saturday 7th April. The rain stopped by the time we arrived and the weather was quite comfortable for a mountain - we have experienced far worse in the height of summer. The aim of the day was to give the 5.6GHz system a good test. This was very successful and all three portable stations - G4UVZ/P, G8GTZ/P and G8GKQ/P being worked two way. The best dx was G8GKQ/P at 109km, a new personal best. Thanks to everyone for making the effort to work us and to Brian G6AUR for accompanying me and the following photographs.

Sorry Brian. I missed everything I'm afraid due to being broken.. I spent yesterday laid diagonally across the sofa like a plank (and probably again tonight too) I get this sorta thing once in a blue moon. Grrr

Back started to ache Friday night and by Saturday night I took to the Baileys Medicine..

Hopefully I'll get out properly next time, or maybe even in between since we are trying to make contact to Barnsley a possibility.

I hope you had a good day of it.

It looks like someone made contact with Australia at the top of this page, that must be the record.

Nice thought but I fear it's an iPhone picture!

Needs to be "processed" by any windows s/w to correct it
